Canon Inc. and Ross Video are partnering to deliver broadcast-grade PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera solutions for modern live production environments.
Through this collaboration, Canon’s professional PTZ cameras—the Canon CR-N700 and CR-N500—can be deployed alongside Ross Video’s production workflows, robotics, and automation platforms, enabling broadcasters and live production teams to incorporate high-quality PTZ cameras into their workflows.
Canon CR-N700 and CR-N500 PTZ cameras can be operated within Ross workflows and demonstrated alongside Ross production technologies such as DashBoard, OverDrive, Ross Robotics, Vision[Ai]ry, and Quorum.
“By combining Canon’s imaging expertise with Ross Video’s robotics and automation workflows, we’re delivering a broadcast-ready PTZ solution built for modern production environments,” says Gina Witzke, Product Manager, Camera Motion Systems at Ross Video.
Canon’s CR-N700 & CR-N500 bring advanced capabilities for high-end broadcast applications, including 4K output, a 1-inch sensor, genlock, NDI® support, optical image stabilization, and FreeD tracking data for AR/VR production. The CR-N700 model also supports 12G-SDI connectivity.
Noriyuki Honda, Deputy Unit Executive of Canon’s Imaging Business Operations, comments:
“Canon sees strong potential in working with Ross Video to expand the role of remote camera systems in video production. Bringing together Canon’s strengths in high-performance imaging with Ross Video’s outstanding robotics and automation systems will open up new possibilities. Our focus is on taking video production to a more advanced level, boosting on-set productivity while delivering exceptional image quality.”
