Canon Debuts CR-N400 and CR-N350 PTZ Cameras

The new CR-N400 and CR-N350 PTZ cameras from Canon are designed to fill the niche between the current CR-N300 and the CR-N500 with smooth on-air pan/tilt performance and high-quality imaging for a broader range of users.

Canon says that its two latest PTZ cameras, the CR-N400 and CR-N350, have been designed to cater to a wide range of uses including studio productions, live events, houses of worship, corporate settings, and educational environments, by offering a decent combination of features at a competitive price point.

Certainly the spec seems to match that ambition. Both cameras offer 4K 60p imaging with a 20x optical zoom, extendable to 40x advanced zoom in Full HD. A 1/2.3” CMOS sensor and the DIGIC DV7 Image Processor ensure excellent image quality. Both also include a vertical crop feature which lets them produce a simultaneous 9:16 cropped output of the full image.

Connectivity Differences

The two differ mainly in their connectivity. The CR-N400 (rear above) is aimed at broadcasters who require a 4K SDI-based workflow as it features 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI connectivity, Genlock, and Timecode support for seamless integration into professional multi-camera setups. The CR-N350, meanwhile,  provides a cost-effective solution for users who only require 4K over HDMI/IP, or Full HD over its 3G-SDI terminal.

However, as the company points out, with the increasing adoption of IP protocols such as NDI and SRT, both the CR-N400 and CR-N350 provide a versatile solution for direct IP streaming and remote production workflows. 

Pricing and Availability

The CR-N400 and CR-N350 PTZ cameras are currently both scheduled to be available in late December 2025 for $5699 and $3999 respectively.
