Precautions

Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio
of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels
may be "stuck," either always off (black), always on (red,
green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period
of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid
crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may appear
spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.

Overview

Features

The RCP-920/921 Remote Control Panel is designed for
remote control of the BVP/HDC series Color Video
Camera via the CCU/HDCU Camera Control Unit. This
panel is connected to the CCU/HDCU Camera Control
Unit (or the CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit,
which is connected to the CCU/HDCU) by a dedicated
cable of up to 200 m (656 feet) in length and controls the
camera functions which are used most frequently in basic
applications from a distance.
The RCP-920 and RCP-921 are completely identical in
their functions except with respect to the iris and master
black adjustments.
For the iris and master black adjustments, the RCP-920
uses a joystick type control while the RCP-921 uses rotary
knobs.
The principal features of the RCP-920/921 are as follows.
Optimized control arrangement for basic camera
operation
This remote control panel is provided with essential
control functions for basic operation of a BVP/HDC-
series 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.
Auto setup control
The RCP-920/921 has built-in microcomputers that
reliably perform automatic setup for the majority of the
control items. The various items can be automatically
adjusted independently or in combination.
Scene file control
Using the paint menu, camera adjustment data for a
particular scene can be stored in the video camera as a
scene file. Up to five such files can be stored. This allows
quick adaptation to various shooting conditions simply by
calling up a scene file.
