Canon Announces Free Updates for AutoTracking and Cameras

Home » Product Watch » Canon Announces Free Firmware Updates for AutoTracking and Cameras Canon has announced the launch of new free firmware updates for its AutoTracking Application RA-AT001, PTZ cameras, RC-IP1000 controller, and Cinema EOS and XF professional camcorders. The updates are expected to be available from July onwards. The AutoTracking Application RA-AT001 receives new paid features, including Multi-Person Framing, Face Direction Framing, and Sit/Stand Framing. These enhancements improve the PTZ camera's ability to capture natural and professional compositions. Multi-Person Framing is ideal for podcasts, talk shows, and lectures where multiple people need to be framed together. Face Direction Framing adjusts the frame based on where the subject is facing, adding space in front of the face for a better composition. Sit/Stand Framing automatically zooms in when a person sits and zooms out when they stand. Additionally, Canon's PTZ cameras receive firmware improvements. These include automatic RTMP and SRT streaming reconnection after network disruptions and reduced frame rates for web-based live feeds to optimize performance on busy networks. The Multi-Camera Control App, a free iOS application, now supports PTZ camera control. It offers functions like Pan/Tilt, Preset Selection, Auto Tracking on/off, and pinch zoom. The RC-IP1000 controller firmware update adds standard serial communication support for indoor PTZ camera control. It also improves camera pre-registration with a new long-press feature and a larger preset thumbnail layout. Finally, Cinema EOS and XF camcorders get enhanced virtual production support with Unreal Engine, allowing multiple computers to connect simultaneously. The update also enables in-camera playback of RAW video files with digital lens correction and improved on-screen display customization. Firmware updates expected from July New advanced features for PTZ cameras and controllers Enhanced support for Cinema EOS and XF camcorders These updates highlight Canon's continued commitment to professional video production technology.
