Canon CR-X300 Outdoor 4K 20x PTZ Camera

The CR-X300 from Canon features a 1 / 2.3-inch 4k-UHD CMOS imaging sensor and an optical 20x zoom lens, along with the 20x digital zoom. The CR-X300 achieves astounding performance that enables this PTZ camera to be used in high-end production applications, including broadcast, sports, live events, and government. Housed in an aluminum die-cast body, it also features an IP65 rating for protection from dust and water, can be mounted right-side-up or upside down, yet it is small and lightweight enough to be carried around for portable installations Virtually anywhere.

The CR-X300 camera supports multiple professional interfaces, including single cable PoE++ connectivity, which allows you to use NDI®|HX2 to stream audio and video, control (IP), tally, and power over a single cable. The camera supports other protocols, such as RTSP/RTP, as well as RTMP/RTMPS, to stream to social sites such as Facebook Live and YouTube. Even better, the CR-X300 can be controlled remotely by IP, Serial, IR or wirelessly via Wi-fi. The camera supports multiple control standards, including Canon's XC protocol as well as Standard Protocol (serial and IP) for easy connectivity to a wide range of 3rd party hardware controllers.
