Overview Features The MSU-1000 series and RCP-1000 series are remote control panels for configuring and controlling Sony's studio and broadcast cameras. This section describes the features that are common between the MSU-1000 series and RCP-1000 series. Remote control panels The RCP-1000 series of remote control panels is designed mainly for operation. Use a remote control panel with a camera on a one-to-one basis. • The RCP-1530 incorporates an LCD display with a touch panel, and a variety of settings are available to make this remote control panel compare favorably with the MSU. It is multifunctional while at the same time having a slim body that is just 80 mm wide, which allows you to mount up to five units in a 19-inch EIA rack. The iris and master black adjustment block employs joystick type control. • The RCP-1500 incorporates an LCD display with direct operation switches and a touch panel, which makes it a remote control panel that offers both ease of operation and multifunctionality that compares favorably with the MSU. The iris and master black adjustment block employs joystick type control. Up to four units can be mounted in a 19-inch EIA rack. • The RCP-1501 incorporates an LCD display with direct operation switches and a touch panel, which makes it a remote control panel that offers both ease of operation and multifunctionality that compares favorably with the MSU. The iris and master black adjustment block employs dial (knob) type control. Up to four units can be mounted in a 19inch EIA rack. Operability suitable for basic camera operations This remote control panel is provided with the control functions required to perform the basic operations of cameras to enable the simple and accurate operation of various functions. The operation buttons, adjustment knobs, and other controls are arranged on the panel according to function and frequency of use. Guard frames are provided around buttons that are vital to the operation and setup of cameras to prevent the buttons from being unintentionally operated. Illuminated buttons with high visibility flash and light to notify you of the operation status to enable operation even in dark locations. Likewise, an illuminated panel surface is employed to allow you to confirm function names even when the surroundings are dark. Building of a variety of control systems It is possible to connect by LAN cable in addition to connecting using CCA-5 cable. Therefore, when setting up a multi-camera control system, not only can a system be built using the CNU-700 as previously, but a system can also be built using a LAN. In a system that uses CNU-700s, two camera command network units (CNUs) can be used to control a camera system of up to 24 cameras. In a system that uses a LAN, a camera system of up to 96 cameras can be controlled. Support for operating multiple cameras Various operations are made possible by using multiple camera systems that support multiple cameras. The following functions are provided to control the connected cameras. • Panel active function This function always enables one control panel for one camera to prevent unintentional operation. Even with a control panel that does not have the panel active permission, a camera can be operated using the parallel function, with the exception of iris and master black operations. • RCP assignment function This function changes the combination of an RCP and camera system.1) • Master/subordinate function This function makes changes in conjunction with the color temperature of the specified camera system.1) 2) Customizable functions Various settings can be configured according to the operation configuration and the frequency with which functions are used. • Menus You can create a custom paint menu, and change the contents and order of a menu. • Function restriction You can restrict access to items of a certain level or above to restrict the operators that can configure settings. • Switches You can assign any function to a spare switch. • Adjustment knobs3) You can assign any function to a spare adjustment knob. • Operation and call sounds You can mute and adjust the volume of the operation and call sounds if necessary. • Exporting and importing of settings You can save the settings to a "Memory Stick Duo", and then export them to another remote control panel. 1) If multiple CNUs exist in the system, this only works for cameras connected to the same CNU. 2) This does not work when connected to a network. 3) Customization of the adjustment knobs is only possible with the RCP-1500/1501. 4
