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.
Confirmation of camera conditions and operation status
This units LCD panel indicates camera conditions such as the optical filter position, value, and lens extender setting. The results of the cameras 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.

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.

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).

Video display function

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

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.)
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.
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.

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. 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.
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.
Performing skin matrix adjustment
Follow the procedure described below to adjust the matrix (saturation and hue) of the skin gate area.
Press and light the SKIN DTL SETUP button (ON). The window which shows the skin gate and target area appears in the cameras viewfinder. You can also see the skin gate with a picture output from the CCUs PIX connector.

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.
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. Perform as follows:
Setting a unit to the master unit or a slave unit
Select [File] from the OTHERS menu, and press [Copy to Slaves]. Press [Start].
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.
Select one RCP unit for the master unit, and press the MASTER button. (The button lights when pressed.) Select one RCP unit (or more) for a slave unit, and press the SLAVE button. (The button lights when pressed.)
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.
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.
The command link adjustment of R/G/B flare correction is available only with the DXC-D30/D35/ D50 series.
Activating command link adjustments/ settings
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.
The Command Link operation display can be displayed from the RCP Config menu only in Advanced Setting mode.

Do not perform command link operation in a system containing multiple cameras of different types. If the camera connected to a slave unit is different in type from the camera connected to the master unit, changing the gain value on the master unit will set the gain value of the camera connected to the slave unit to 0 dB or the LOW position. The CLS frequency does not exceed the limit for the camera. When adjusting the white balance, black balance and flare with the command link, select Manual Adjustment mode for white balance, black balance and flare also on slave units.
Press and highlight the button for the item for which you wish to activate the command link. Press [Exit] to leave the menu. When you adjust the item for which you wish to activate the command link on the master unit, the adjustment becomes valid on the cameras connected to the slave units.

Memory Sticks

Using a Memory Stick
When a Memory Stick is inserted in the panel, the file data can be stored on the Memory Stick, which enables you to share data among RCPs.

Notes on Memory Stick

On Memory Stick
Memory Stick is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. Memory Stick is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among Memory Stick compatible products. Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be used for external data storage.

Inserting a Memory Stick

Insert a Memory Stick with the label side to the left into the Memory Stick slot until it clicks and the access lamp lights in red.

There are two types of Memory Stick: MagicGate Memory Stick that are equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection technology and general Memory Stick. You can use either type of Memory Stick with your camera. However, because your camera does not support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with your camera is not subject to MagicGate copyright protection.
