Overview

The RCP-D50/D51 Remote Control Panel enables remote operation of the DXC-D50-series, DXC-D30/ D35-series,or DXC-637-series Color Video Cameras.

The RCP-D50 and RCP-D51 are completely identical in their functions except with respect to the iris and master black adjustments. For the iris and master black adjustments, the RCPD50 uses a joystick type control while the RCP-D51 uses rotary knobs.

Features

Optimal control parts arrangement for basic camera operation

This remote control panel is provided with essential control functions for basic operation of a camera. The buttons, knobs, and other controls have been arranged according to their functions and with consideration to their frequency of use. Indicators and buttons light or flash to indicate the status of the system operation. Also, guard frames are provided to protect against accidental use of those buttons vital to camera operation. These features ensure easy and error-free use of this remote control panel.

Confirmation of camera conditions and operation status

This unit’s LCD panel indicates camera conditions such as the optical filter position, value, and lens extender setting. The results of the camera’s selfdiagnosis tests are also displayed on the LCD panel.

Signal transmission via a digital line

Between this remote control panel and the camera control unit, signals are digitally transmitted via a single connection cable (CCA-7), ensuring a reliable signal. Operating power is also supplied via the cable.

Memory Stick slot

Various data, including scene files, can be stored on a Memory Stick and reproduced at any time.

Touch panel with 31/2-inch LCD for various operations

The control panel has a touch panel that permits various items to be selected and adjusted on the LCD in menu format. (The menu items differ among the cameras to be connected.)

Full control of shooting operations

Besides controlling camera adjustments and settings, this unit can control tripod operations (pan and tilt) and lens settings (focus and zoom).

Scene file

The unit provides memory to hold data on shooting conditions for 20 different scenes, to enable easy readjustment of the camera for any memorized scenes. (When a DXC-D50-series camera is connected, data are held in memory of the camera.)

Coordination of settings among several cameras

In a system that includes several cameras that are connected via CCUs, connecting the CCUs allows this unit to set up all of the cameras into the same color condition.

Video display function

The LCD can also display pictures from the connected camera, permitting you to use it as a convenient video monitor.

Four units mountable on a 19-inch rack

Up to four units of this control panel can be mounted in a line on a 19-inch EIA standard rack.

Skin Detail Correction/Skin Matrix Adjustment (for DXC-D30/D35/D50 Series Only)

The skin detail and skin matrix functions can adjust detail level and matrix (saturation and hue) of a selected skin gate area (area designated by color range). Once a skin gate area has been selected, it can be used as a target for both skin detail correction and skin matrix adjustment, and activation of each function can be performed independently.

Selecting the skin gate area

Normally, use the SKIN DTL SETUP button of the AUTO SETUP block to designate the skin gate position (target color) automatically.

1 Press and light the SKIN DTL SETUP button

(ON).

The window which shows the skin gate and target area appears in the camera’s viewfinder. You can also see the skin gate with a picture output from the CCU’s PIX connector.

2 Press the START button.

The skin gate is designated automatically.

When using a DXC-D30/D35-series camera, you can manually adjust the position of the designated skin gate in Paint menu.

If you power off the unit or store the current settings as a scene file while setting the detail level to the minimum value, the skin detail function will be set to off when you power on the unit or recall the scene file next time.

To store the skin detail settings

Set the SKIN DETAIL button on before powering off

the unit or storing the settings as a scene file. If the

button is off, the skin detail settings will not be stored.

Performing skin matrix adjustment

Follow the procedure described below to adjust the

matrix (saturation and hue) of the skin gate area.

1 Select [Skin Matrix] in Paint menu 3.

2 Set [Skin Matrix] to ON.

3 Set the saturation and hue using the leftmost

control knob (Hue) or the second control knob (Sat) from the left.

Selecting 00 causes the same situation as the skin matrix function is set off. If you power off the unit or store the current settings as a scene file while selecting 00, the skin matrix function will be set to off when you power on the unit or recall the scene file next time.

Performing skin detail correction

By skin detail correction, you can lower the detail level of the skin gate area to the detail level outside of the area.

1 Press and light the SKIN DETAIL button (ON). 2 Select [Skin Detail] in Paint menu 2. 3 Set the detail correction level using the leftmost

control knob (Level). Setting the level to the max. value (+99): The

detail level of the area is set to the lowest level.

Setting the level to the min. value (0): The detail

level of the area is set to the same level with the outside of the area. (The same situation as the skin detail function is set to off.)

Note

When using the DXC-D30 series, this adjustment is

valid when the matrix adjustment function is active.

To store the skin matrix settings

Activate both the matrix adjustment and skin matrix

adjustment functions before powering off the unit or

storing the settings as a scene file. Otherwise, the skin

matrix settings will not be stored.

Multi-Camera Control

Connections and Preparatons

In a multi-camera system, connecting all the CCUTX7 units via the RS232C connectors allows one RCP unit selected from all the RCP units in the system to control the multiple cameras. If the selected unit is set as the master unit and the rest are set as slave units, the setting data of the camera connected to the master unit can be transferred to other cameras.

To make connections among the CCU-TX7 units

Connect RS-232C cross (or reverse) cables with D-sub 25-pin plugs (not supplied) to the RS232C connectors on each CCU to make a daisy chain of the CCUs.

For more information about cables which can be used, consult your Sony dealer.

Notes

• It is impossible to assure that all the cameras can be

set up to the same conditions under the multi-camera control. Setting purposes and the current condition of each camera may cause variation of the setting condition.

• In a system which contains more than two types of

cameras, the setting items, adjustment range and adjustment accuracy available at the multi-camera operation are determined depending on the efficiency of the camera connected to the master unit.

• There are two setting modes: Absolute mode and

Relative mode.

• Settings performed on a slave unit are valid only to

the connected camera.

Adjusting the Iris/Master Black of Multiple Cameras at One Time

For iris and master black adjustments, you can use any

one of the RCP units (whether it is the master unit or a

slave unit) specified with the IRIS/M.BLACK LINK

button.

1 Select the cameras for which you will adjust the

iris or master black by pressing the IRIS/ M.BLACK LINK buttons on the connected RCP units. (The buttons light when pressed.)

2 Adjust the iris or master black on one RCP unit

whose IRIS/M.BLACK LINK button lights.

On the cameras connected to the RCP units whose IRIS/M.BLACK LINK buttons light, the iris or master black adjustments are performed by the same amount and at the same time (on relative mode).

Note

The IRIS/M.BLACK LINK function is released while

transferring the scene files.

Data Transfer Among Multiple Cameras

The settings made on the master unit can be transferred

to the cameras connected to the slave units, if they can

be registered as a scene file.

Setting a unit to the master unit or a slave unit

Note

Perform the following procedure after making sure all the cameras in the system are powered on. Note that executing the procedure when there is any cameras powered off may result in failure.

1 Select one RCP unit for the master unit, and press

the MASTER button. (The button lights when pressed.)

2 Select one RCP unit (or more) for a slave unit, and

press the SLAVE button. (The button lights when pressed.)

Perform as follows:

1 Select [File] from the OTHERS menu, and press

[Copy to Slaves].

2 Press [Start].

Data transfer begins.

Meanwhile, on all the linked RCP units (including

units selected as neither the master unit nor slave

units), the message “IN PROGRESS” is displayed on

the LCD and all buttons and knobs are locked.

When the data transfer completes, the message

“COMPLETED” appears on the LCD. The LCD soon

returns to the original status.

Notes

•While scene file transfer is in progress on a slave

unit, do not tranfer data from the master unit to the slave unit. Scene file transfer will fail.

• The master/slave setting is released while transferring

the scene files.

Operating Multiple Cameras from One RCP Unit —Command Link

Command link allows one RCP selected as the master unit to control the adjustments or settings of the cameras connected to the slave units. To perform command link operation, activate the command link on the Command Link operation display on the master unit.
