Hello everybody. My name is James. I'm a video production specialist here at Video Guys. It is Tuesday. It is about 3 o'clock Eastern, which means it is time to talk about some live streaming equipment. And boy, do we have some exciting news today. We're going to be talking about Canon's new bundles that are available. Uh these are available with the CRN 100's, the CRN 300's, and the CRN 500's. And basically what this bundle is, you get three cameras in a controller and you get $300 off of your order. Um, and you can do that with the 100s, the 300's or the 500s. So let's break it down. So again, we have this available in the CRN 100's, the CRN 300's, and the CRN 500's. And as you can see, um, at the end of the bundle, you can see that it is $300 off for the three cameras and the controller. Now, this is going on until October 31st. So, definitely make sure that you take advantage of these bundle prices um, while they're available. Now, the way that I wanted to break this down is we're going to talk about the things that are included in all of the bundles, which would be the controllers. We're going to talk about the controller first. Then we're going to talk about the features that are available on all of the cameras. Then we're going to talk about the CRN 100 and 300. And then we're going to talk about the features that are available only on the CRN500. So let's get right into it. So the Canon RC IP controller is the controller that is included in this bundle. Now this is a controller that can control up to 100 cameras. It has your joystick on the lefthand side and it has your zoom control on the lefthand side as well as some color control as well. Um, and then it has a nice big touchcreen on it that allows you to control all of your settings with literally the touch of um, you know, at your fingertips. The other cool thing about the RC IP 100 and all of the Canon PTZ cameras and even some of the camcorders and um EOS models of the cinema cameras is they use their own uh protocol called the XC protocol. So that controller if you are already in a Canon um ecosystem has the ability to control some of your other cameras as well. Obviously, it wouldn't be able to control your pan and your tilt, but you can control your zoom and you can control your color settings. One of the cool things about the Canon um XC protocol is the ability to save camera settings and then copy and paste them to another camera. And you can do that all through that XC protocol. So, it is very cool to have that in this bundle and you're going to get top-notch control of your PTZ cameras. The next thing that is included in all of these cameras is the free autotracking um that is available on uh the CRN 100, 300, 500, and it is also available on the 700. Now, the free version of the autotracking um has auto detect and it's going to have fixed values. Um so, when you're doing your autotracking, the subject will always be in the same spot. The auto zoom is always going to be on. The sensitivity is set to level nine. Um, and the tracking is going to be on all the time. It's it's it's immediate. As soon as you turn on the autotracking, it's it's just going to start tracking that subject. Um, if you want to though, you can get the advanced autotracking, uh, which is an add-on, and this is available on the 500. Um, and that's going to give you more advanced, uh, autotracking. So you can set your framing. Um you can set, you know, dead zones so the camera will stop tracking. All of that stuff is available uh with the autotracking license and that's available uh on top of it as an add-on for $800. Now, we were talking about the XC protocol and how the XC protocol is available and used on all of the PTZ cameras and even some of the camcorders and the cinema EOS cameras. Another thing that is shared between the PTZ cameras, the camcorders, and the uh Sydney Sydney model cameras is that they all are using the same color space. Um, a lot of these cameras are using the same sensors and lenses as the camcorders. So again, if you're already in a Canon ecosystem, getting a couple more cameras, uh, PTZ cameras, they're going to color match perfectly in your workflow. Um, for instance, the CRN 300 is the same lens and sensor as the XA65 uh camcorder and the N the CRN 500 is the same lens and sensor as the XF 605 camcorder. So again, if you are already using these camcorders, these PTZ cameras are going to be a perfect and easy match to um expand your workflow. Now, let's talk about the Canon CRN 100 and the CRN300. Now, these cameras are very similar. So, let's start off by talking about the CRN 100. The CRN 100 has a 1 over23 uh SIMOS sensor. This can record and stream up to 4K at 30 fps and it has the ability to record and stream at 1080 up to 60 fps. It has their hybrid autofocus, a 20x optical zoom, and it does have NDIHX and SRT capabilities built right into the camera. You don't have to pay anything extra for um a license. It has a tally light on the top of it right here. Um it has a web gooey that you can control everything. And even on the back of it, it does have a 3.5 um audio input. It also has a USB uh output for uh UVC to plug it into your laptop or computer of any sort um to use as basically a webcam. And it has HDMI output as well. So, it has NDI, HDMI, and USB output. And this camera is PoE plus compatible. So, it's going to be about 30 watts um on your network. Now, we're going to talk about the CRN300. On the CRN300, almost everything is exactly the same. It's the same uh one over two/3 SIMO sensor, same 4K 30 capabilities um with 1080 60 fps. The main difference between the 100 and the 300 is going to be the SDI out on the CRN 300. Um that the CRN 300 has a 3G SDI output, so you can get 1080 60p out of that camera. Now, like I said, most of these features are exactly the same. That's the main difference. Let's talk about some more things that are similar with these cameras. Both of them again have a 4K sensor built into them that can go up to 4K 30. Um, but if you wanted to stream at 1080, you're going to get the most crisp sens uh image off of uh these cameras at 1080 because they're oversampling and processing that HD image. Um, so you can still get 108060p and it is going to be some of the best looking 108060p image because you're using um a 4K sensor and oversampling that 1080 signal. Again, they have their hybrid autofocus um that combines high precision contrast autofocus and um phase difference autofocus technology um to confirm the autofocus on the cameras. These cameras all have uh face detection as well. So, it is going to track that face. You can do a full 360 and it will still be able to track that head and face. Um, and let's face it, when you are, you know, focusing on a person, um, you don't want to focus on here. You want to focus on their face. Make sure their eyes are in focus. And so, these cameras both offer that. The next thing that I want to talk about is some of the different scenes and modes that are available in these cameras. Now, these are presets that you don't have to go in and manually adjust these. You can put the camera into any one of these four settings and it will, you know, automatically choose optimized settings for those. So, if you put it into portrait mode, it's going to lower the f-stop, um, make it so it has as much of a shallow depth of field. uh you put it into low light, it's going to take advantage of the wide dynamic range on these cameras to be able to, you know, make sure that you're not losing your low lightss. And then if you put it into sports mode, it's going to increase your shutter speed, increase your frame rate, um so you get the most crisp action um capturing available. And then it also has spotlight mode. again taking taking advantage of the wide dynamic range um making sure that your subject is not going to be overexposed when they are in the spotlight. Um so all of these are presets that you don't have to do anything to do um to set up comes right in the camera but at the same time you can just use the web guey and be able to go in and you know really fine-tune the settings on all of these cameras. Um, all of these also have very similar outputs and interfaces. Um, like I said, the only difference is that the CRN300 has 3G SDI output. So, as you can see on the right hand side, you're going to have your HDMI, your 3G SDI for the CRN300, and you're going to have your USB and IP outputs, um, which again, these cameras all support NDIHX, which is great. You have standard serial RS422 for IP control with uh the the RCIP 100, but you can also use thirdparty controllers and uh control softwares as well. Um and then these cameras also have a 3.5 mm minijack in for audio. and that's going to embed right into your stream uh to be able to make sure that your audio is in sync and then being able to transfer uh transport that audio with your video in sync across your network across the HDMI or um in the CRN300 the uh SDI as well. Now, let's talk about the CRN 100 and 300's big brother, the CRN 500. Um, this bundle is available again, $300 off if you get the three cameras and the controller. So, just over $19,000, $19,96 for three CRN500s plus the RC IP100 controller. Now, the main difference with the CRN 500 is that it has a 1 in SIMO sensor on it. Now, that is a very large sensor. A lot of cinema cameras will have that kind of uh that large of a sensor on them. Again, talking about being able to put the camera into a portrait mode with you having a larger image sensor, your depth of field is going to be a little bit smaller or in this case a lot of bit smaller. So, your background will be out of focus, your foreground will be out of focus, and your subject um will look nice and uh crisp in focus. Also, having a larger image sensor means that it has the opportunity for more light to hit that sensor to be able to work even better in low light situations. Uh, this camera can also go up to 4K 30 with 42:2 color space at 10 bit. It has a 15 optical uh 15 times optical zoom lens. Um, and one thing that we're going to get into is the optical image stabilization that is available on the CRN 500. has a 3G SDI output. Um, in terms of being able to bring audio into it, it actually has two XLRs that you can bring into it as a gen lock on it. And again, it is compatible with the XC protocol, NDIHX. It can do SRT output, RTSP, RTMP, um, and 3D support. This is also a POE plus camera, so about 30 watts, uh, power. And again, uh, it comes with the free autotracking, but if you'd like to, you can get the add-on for the, uh, advanced autotracking as well as the auto loop add-on, uh, which will you can set presets and then the camera will just go back and forth between those presets. Uh, really great for like crowd reaction shots and things like that. The thing that I really wanted to focus on especially in like a house of worship is the four axis um image stabilization and correction mechanism. Um you know a lot of the times in houses of worship um these cameras are being placed on balconies and and on the walls and sometimes especially in concert venues too when people are you know really getting excited and singing along and potentially clapping along. um you don't you don't realize how much your walls or balconies are going to vibrate or shift a little bit as these people are dancing along. Um so being able to have um image correction, image stabilization built right into the camera. So when you're fully zoomed in um is is just great to make sure that your image is as as smooth as possible and you're not seeing, you know, those tiny little vibrations. This also has the dual pixel um auto fa uh autofocus as well. Um really targeting the uh the face and the eyes. It also has the ability to prioritize face or just lock on to the face. Um, again, great for presentations, um, houses of worship, concert venues, things like that where you really want to make sure that your host or presenter is is locked in on the focus and then also on the uh, autotracking. We're talking about being able to zoom into your subject and not worrying about those vibrations. One of the cool things about the CRN500 is um it has a 15x optical zoom built in, but if you put the camera to output at 1080, you can digitally zoom in and get an an additional amount of zoom. So, you can have that 15x optical zoom now becomes a 30x um lossless digital zoom. And that is a feature that is built right into the camera. So, if you put the camera into 1080, it will automatically be able to zoom in that additional distance and you won't notice any difference because it's just zooming into that 4K image sensor and just exporting um or outputting at 1080. Um, so this is really great if you need to be able to uh zoom in at far distances. Now, again, these bundles are available until uh October 31st. I'm sorry I didn't put it on this slide, but they are available um until October 31st. So definitely take advantage of them while they last. This is again available in the CRN 100, the CRN 300, and the CRM500. You get three cameras plus the controller, and you get $300 off of the order. Um so definitely take advantage of that while this bundle is still available. And if you are looking for, you know, a little bit more, the CRN700 is still available as well. It's not included in the bundles, but you can still get the CRN700. This has a very similar image sensor to the CRN 500, but it does let you go up to 4K 60p at 4:22. Has the same 15x optical zoom with 30 advanced uh 30x opt uh advanced zoom. Has the same image stabilization on it. Um, but it does have multiple SDI outputs, including one 12G and one 3G. So, if you need uh full 4K 60 uh through the SDI, the CRN700 is going to be perfect for you. And this is available for 8749. And then also the RCIP 1000 PTZ controller is available as well. Um, the RC IP 1000 PTC controller allows you to control up to 200 cameras. And again, using that XC protocol, you can control some of the cinema EOS cameras, the XF 605 camcorder. Um, one of the really great things about the RCIP 1000 is that touchscreen can control the cameras, but it also has the ability to display up to nine cameras right on there or one larger input. Um, all of these are in stock and available at VideoGuys.
