If you're working on a field or studio production with a need to shoot outdoors in the elements, and remotely controlled cameras with minimal operating crew is required, the white CR-X500 Outdoor 4K PTZ Camera with 15x Zoom from Canon will fit right into your multi-camera shoot, event, streaming broadcast, reality show, or digital video production. The CR-X500 is designed to be mounted in an outdoor location and provides IP55 water-resistant protection, preventing dust, dirt, water, and salt from damaging the camera lens and electronics.
The CR-X500 internals sport many resources of a high-resolution Canon camera or camcorder with features such as a 1" dual-pixel CMOS sensor, the Canon DIG!C DV6 image processor, a wide dynamic range, minimum brightness of 3 lux, 15x zoom, 30x digital zoom in Full HD, and video output up to UHD 4K via its 12G-SDI connector. Other professional camera attributes of the CR-X500 include genlock support, HLG, and Canon Log 3 support as well as built-in ND filters with clear, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64 options. It can perform smooth, precision pan movements with a speed range of 0.5 to 25° per second and tilt movements with a speed range of 0.3 to 20° per second. It features a very low environmental noise rating of NC-55 at under 10° per second.
The camera can utilize an external controller via RS-422 or Canon's proprietary NU serial protocol using the optional RC-IP100 PTZ controller. There is also a built-in lens wiper so you don't have to wipe off the lens yourself if it gets wet or dirty. There is also an AUX port on the back so you can add an optional washing unit.
