PTZ Camera Firmware Updates

Everything you need to know about Canon's PTZ Camera Updates.
  • Available in the new Firmware is the updated Auto Tracking Application RA-AT001: the full version available via a paid-for licence. Functional updates are listed below.

    This firmware update introduces the following new features:

    • Multi-Person Framing
      Frame neatly for more than one speaker with the useful feature that ensures natural composition for talk shows, interview panels or visual podcasts, for example.

    • Face Direction Framing
      The camera provides free space in front of the speaker, based on the direction they look, improving composition.

    • Sit/Stand Framing
      When a speaker sits down, the camera zooms in to frame more closely, and zooms out for a mid-shot when the speaker stands.

  • RTMP/SRT automatic reconnection
    When re-connecting a PTZ camera during streaming, streaming starts automatically without pressing the ‘Start’ button.

  • PTZ Multi-camera control
    Simultaneously control up to 4 professional video cameras with a compatible iOS device (iPhone or iPad) via Wi-Fi by taking advantage of Canon’s XC protocol built-in to numerous Cinema EOS, PTZ and XF cameras.
    Access live view monitoring, as well as manage various camera settings such as exposure, focus, zoom, record trigger, waveform monitor and much more.
