The CR-N700 supports high-quality video recording in 4K/60P/4:2:2/10-bit format and enables HDR recording in HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) or PQ (Perceptual Quantization) formats. . Leveraging Canon’s technology and expertise in developing professional video cameras, the CR-N700 also features a 15x zoom lens, 1.0-inch CMOS sensor, and DIGIC DV7 image processor.
Indoor cameras are great for professional video production, providing good image quality and supporting large-scale live broadcasts. In addition, it comes with advanced human recognition features including Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Eye Detection AF, and Head Detection AF. These features help the camera identify and track fast-moving subjects with greater precision and clarity.
In addition, two innovative new applications; Auto Tracking and Auto Loop currently support the CR-N700 and will over time be expanded to include more compatible remote PTZ cameras in Canon’s lineup. These new consumer-centric features are designed to improve productivity, reduce workload and labor for remote manufacturing. This will allow operators to efficiently focus on other tasks such as changing cameras and streaming content. These products will support system configuration without requiring additional equipment such as servers or computers.
Speaking at the launch of the new product, Manabu Yamazaki, President and CEO of Canon India, said: “Our commitment to driving innovation and ensuring our quality-based approach is reflected in the latest addition to our line of remote cameras.The new premium 4K PTZ remote control camera with auto-tracking and auto-looping features is ready to go.

How to be an industry leader. We look forward to the consumer response and strive to continue to showcase miracles in line with industry trends.
Amazing tracking powered by auto tracking app
This application allows the remote camera to automatically monitor speakers or other designated persons during presentations, conferences and business events. With in-camera image analysis, the system realizes excellent tracking, allowing for excellent free-view shooting, including the whole body, upper body, shoulders up and down from other perspectives, while tracking the movement of moving subjects at slow to fast speeds. In addition to the standard humanoid photography often required for broadcasting events and commercial conferences, the remote camera, aided by a high-performance pan/tilt mechanism, can capture slow motion of the subject smoothly to produce quality video. In addition, the application also provides many adjustment parameters such as layout, tracking sensitivity and preferred display area.
Seamless operations made possible by the Auto Loop app
It allows the remote camera to automatically repeat the subtle pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) staging movements commonly performed by operators when broadcasting events such as sports competitions and interviews, as well as in film production and television commercials. Between patrol and reciprocating movements at specified locations, the operator can adjust parameters such as position settings to determine the pause interval at each point, route settings to determine the motion speed and other operations including preview and start, can be easily configured. on the settings screen. In addition, the operator can adjust the acceleration and deceleration of the motion at the beginning and the end of the motion through the Fade-in mode, allowing the camera system to automatically mimic the operation of a professional camera.
