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-1000 is a compact control panel with specialized
basic operations. The iris and master black adjustment block
employs joystick type control. Up to six units can be
mounted in a 19-inch EIA rack.
• The RCP-1001 is a compact control panel with specialized
basic operations. The iris and master black adjustment block
employs dial (knob) type control. Up to six units can be
mounted in a 19-inch 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
You can build a multi-camera control system through use of
the CNU-700. In a system that uses CNU-700s, two CNUs can
be used to control a camera system of up to 24 cameras. A
system that uses a LAN can also be built by connecting to a
LAN-compatible CCU.
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.
• ALL function
This function simultaneously turns on and off the functions
of all connected camera systems.
• RCP assignment function
This function changes the combination of an RCP and
1)
camera system.
• Master/subordinate function
This function makes changes in conjunction with the color
temperature of the specified camera system.
Customizable functions
Various settings can be configured according to the operation
configuration and the frequency with which functions are used.
• Switches
You can assign any function to a spare switch.
• Operation and call sounds
You can mute and adjust the volume of the operation and
call sounds if necessary.
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) This unit does not include a master/subordinate switching
mechanism. Switching between master and subordinate mode
must be performed from another control panel.
