Remote Camera Panel Mk3

Features

Main Controls

  • The main controls operate in the standard fashion with ‘touch-down’ on the joystick to switch the operator’s monitor to the currently selected camera.

  • The sensitivity of the joystick can be adjusted and the whole panel can be ‘locked’ to prevent inadvertent adjustments.

  • Clear LED readouts display the major settings for each camera as it is selected; Iris, Gain, Shutter, Camera No. etc.

  • ‘Touch-down’ knobs enable instant return to ‘shutter OFF’ and ‘0dB Gain’. Auto Iris is also selected with a touch down.

  • All the buttons and knobs on the panel are illuminated to a user adjustable level and each button illuminates brightly when selected.

  • The camera address range can be set to any 4 sequential cameras up to 99.

  • Tally light inputs via the built-n GPIO port, indicate above the selected camera and also each monitor switching output is indicated.

    Assignable Menu

  • The Assignable Menu sets this RCP apart from others. There are 3 instantly accessible menus, each with 3 adjustable parameters.

  • Each of these 9 parameters can be changed by the operator and put into any menu making it fully customisable to the operator preference. Again, ‘touch-down’ knobs are used for switching functions.

  • 4 Scene Files are avaiable for each camera. These manage Red, Green, Blue Gains and Pedestals.

    Connection Sockets

  • The sockets on the underside of the panel are recessed and angled to use the minmum of space uner the panel.

  • Standard XLR connectors are used for both power input and for data output.

  • Additionally, there is a Dsub GPIO connector for triggering the tally lights and also for monitor switching outputs.

  • The 4 pin Hirose enables cascading of multiple RCPs onto a single data stream using a single power supply.

    Network Connectivity

  • Using either a BRADLEY switcher or off-the-shelf RS485-to-IP converters enables communication over TCP/IP networks.
