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.
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.
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.)
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.
