Two Cameras, One Vision: Canon Introduces CR-N400 and CR-N350 PTZ Cameras for Broadcast and Hybrid Production

London, UK – 5 November 2025 – Canon has officially expanded its PTZ camera lineup with two new 4K models: the CR-N400 and CR-N350. Designed for remote-controlled broadcast, corporate AV, education, and live events, both cameras bring high-end image quality, long-range zoom, and robust IP connectivity into compact, flexible systems.

These models mark Canon’s continued investment in professional PTZ solutions — offering streamlined integration, enhanced auto-tracking, and full-format streaming in both horizontal and vertical orientations.


Canon CR-N400: Broadcast-Grade Performance with 12G-SDI and Genlock

The CR-N400 is built for high-end production environments. It features a 4K UHD 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, powered by Canon’s latest DIGIC DV7 processor, and is capable of 4K 60p video output. Its standout feature is a 20x optical zoom in 4K, expandable to 40x Advanced Zoom in Full HD — ideal for covering large venues or moving subjects without repositioning the camera.

Aimed at studios, OB trucks, and multi-cam installations, the CR-N400 includes a suite of professional I/O:

  • 12G-SDI for uncompressed UHD output
  • Time Code and Genlock for sync in broadcast environments
  • Dual XLR inputs for professional audio capture
  • IP streaming protocols including NDI|HX2, SRT, RTMP/RTMPS, FreeD, and Canon XC Protocol

Its HDR support and advanced image controls offer excellent tone and colour reproduction across various lighting environments.


Canon CR-N350: Smarter Streaming for Corporate and Hybrid Events

The CR-N350 replaces and upgrades the popular CR-N300, bringing DIGIC DV7 image processing to a more affordable PTZ solution. While maintaining the same sensor size and zoom range (20x optical / 40x Advanced Zoom in Full HD), it enhances image sharpness and subject tracking, particularly for smaller spaces like lecture halls, boardrooms, and hybrid streaming setups.

Notably, the CR-N350 offers simultaneous landscape and vertical format streaming, a key feature for social platforms, mobile-first broadcasts, and e-commerce livestreams. Canon has also refined its auto-tracking performance for smoother, more reliable subject tracking during presentations or dynamic speaking events.

Like its sibling, the CR-N350 supports a wide range of IP streaming protocols and third-party integrations, making it adaptable to existing video infrastructure.


Key Features Across Both Models

  • 4K UHD at 60fps via DIGIC DV7 processing
  • HDR support for high-dynamic range content
  • 20x optical zoom / 40x Advanced Zoom in Full HD
  • Advanced auto-tracking with intelligent presenter framing
  • Simultaneous vertical and horizontal streaming
  • Broad protocol support, including:
    • NDI|HX2
    • SRT
    • RTMP/RTMPS
    • RTP/RTSP
    • Canon XC Protocol
    • FreeD (for AR/VR environments)

Ideal Use Cases

CR-N400:

  • Broadcast studios and OB vans
  • Large corporate auditoriums
  • High-end house of worship AV setups
  • Multi-camera live sports and events

CR-N350:

  • Lecture capture and education livestreaming
  • Corporate town halls or hybrid meetings
  • Social media-focused livestreams
  • Houses of worship and local event AV

Final Thoughts

With the CR-N400 and CR-N350, Canon continues to respond to growing demand for flexible, high-quality remote production tools. These cameras offer a compelling combination of cinema-level imaging, IP-centric integration, and user-friendly control, making them powerful assets across live broadcast, hybrid events, and corporate media production.

Whether deployed in a full-scale multicam studio or a single-camera lecture hall setup, Canon’s latest PTZ additions offer a future-proof solution that balances performance, connectivity, and usability.
