CollegeHumor goes all in on Canon PTZ for S5 of Game Changer

BC Live is thrilled to have partnered with Canon & CollegeHumor to integrate 7 PTZ Cameras for the “Escape the Green Room” episodes on Season 5 of Game Changer.

Game Changer is a CollegeHumor game show on dropout.tv, where the players don’t know the rules until they start. For the “Escape the Green Room” episode, contestants were unknowingly locked in the green room, & forced to take part in an Escape Room to get themselves out.

For this project, BC Live provided a mix of the CR-N500 & CR-N300 models. Our two PTZ Operators each had access to all 7 cameras from their respective RC-IP100 Controller.

Canon launched its line of PTZ Cameras back in 2022. Having a Canon camera arsenal already, BC Live became an early adopter, & have been extremely pleased with the look & some key feature sets.

• 1 Inch Sensor

• Native NDI output with built in camera tally light

• Face detection, making auto focus more powerful

• XLR audio inputs with phantom power capability

• Option to output Canon Log for maximum flexibility in post production

• Touch screen remote control panel

CollegeHumor uses C300s to film Game Changer, so having the beloved color science of Canon Cinema Cameras in a Pan Tilt Zoom body really made this an easy choice for them.
