About the Canon CR-X300 4K PTZ Camera – White
The CR-X300 is a small, robust all-weather PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) remote 4K video camera offering similar features found in the CR-N300 but with extra protection from the elements.

Part of Canon’s latest 4K PTZ camera range suitable for outdoor use, the camera is Canon’s latest offering in the PTZ market and joins the CR-X500 as a smaller all-weather sister camera. CR-X300 is designed for outdoor use without the need for a separate weatherproof housing thus avoiding any possible compromise in image quality.

This new model boasts IP connectivity and streaming in a compact, IP65 rated weatherproof housing and is perfect for Broadcast, Security and Monitoring in all conditions.

Powerful 4K and Full HD imagery

A 1/2.3-inch type 4K/UHD CMOS Sensor with a DIGIC DV6 image processor captures detailed footage up to 4K 30P at 4:2:2/10-bit. Video can be output in Enhanced Full HD which benefits from 4K over sampling.

Versatile, high quality 20x optical zoom

CR-X300 has a 20x optical zoom lens with a focal length range of 29.3–601mm (35mm equivalent) in UHD as well as the option of a 20x Digital zoom. The CR-X300 also features Canon’s 4 Axis IS system for enhanced stability when shooting.

Advanced streaming and output options

The CR-X300 is highly flexible thanks to its 6G SDI and HDMI outputs, PoE++ as well as network connectivity that supports protocols such as Canon XC, RTP/RTSP, RTMP/RTMPS and NDI|HX video transmission plus standard communication, streaming protocols and control protocols.

Hybrid AF for precise focus

The CR-X300 combines high-precision contrast AF with high-speed phase-detection AF, ensuring accurate focus of the subject, even in low light.

Smooth, precise control

The CR-X300 is capable of simultaneous high precision Pan, Tilt and Zoom as slow as 0.3deg/sec, even with pre-sets, and is compatible with Canon’s RC-IP100 controller, Remote Camera Control Application plus selected third-party options.

For various lighting conditions

The CR-X300 is equipped with an internal 1/8 graduated type ND filter with the option to attach a 1/32 Enhanced ND filter mechanism that inserts a filter on the front surface of the lens unit, extending the ND range from 1/32 to 1/256.

Custom picture settings

The CR-X300 features a custom picture menu which allows for fine tuning of image settings in a wide range of shooting scenarios with other cameras such as Cinema EOS, for efficient workflow in a multi camera setup.

Robust and durable body

Rated IP65 water and dust resistant with additional salt repellence to perform from -15° to +40°C and in 90% humidity, the fully sealed body also features an inbuilt wiper for a clear view.
