Remote Control Panels - Rcp-700 Series - Sony BVP-900 Series Product Information Manual

(c) Character display
Information concerning the camera heads and CCUs connected to
the CNU-700 and CNU-500 can be displayed on a monitor via the
CHARACTER connector. This includes:
* Camera settings
* System connection information
* Results of Auto set-up
* Self-diagnostics information
(d) Emergency feature
In the event of a problem with the CNU-700 and CNU-500, turning
their internal OPERATION switch to the EMERGENCY position
allows control signals from the remote control panel to be directly
connected to the camera head. In this way, program production can
continue by bypassing the CNU.

6-4. Remote Control Panels - RCP-700 Series

The RCP-700 Series of Remote Control Panels consists of four
ranges, from basic to advanced production control to meet
operational requirements. Each range includes both a joystick type
(e.g. RCP-xx0) and a dial control type (e.g. RCP-xx1).
(a) RCP-740/741
The RCP-740 is a joystick type of Remote Control Panel while the
RCP-741 is a dial type. Both are top of the range models with the full
control functions required for sophisticated operations. All
operational functions, including Paint, can be controlled directly from
the remote control panel rather than by using menu selection as in
the previous model. For some special applications, these RCPs can
be used as an alternative to the MSU-700. Up to three of RCP-
740/741 can be mounted in a 19-inch standard rack drawer.
(b) RCP-720/721
The RCP-720 (joystick type) and RCP-721 (dial control type) make up
the standard panel range. They include Auto Set-up, Scene File and
normal Painting functions to meet the requirements for middle to
large size studios and OB units. The RCP-720 and RCP-721 are
principally designed for use in combination with MSU-700. Up to four
of these RCPs can be installed in a 19-inch standard rack drawer.
(c) RCP-700/701
The RCP-700 (joystick type) and RCP-701 (dial control type) are
normally used in combination with the MSU-700. However, they can
also be used as a sub-control panel with other types of RCPs to
provide basic red and blue Paint facilities, Master Black and Iris
control in daily operations.
(d) RCP-730/731
The RCP-730 (joystick type) and RCP-731 (dial control type) have a
slim design to fit in a compact space such as 19-inch EIA rack
drawer. They feature an LCD panel for displaying Paint Control
items, and to enhance the ON/OFF function of the SW Controls such
as Knee, Detail, Gamma, Knee Saturation, Mono Color, Color
Corrector, etc.
The LED BAR for IRIS display featured on the RCP-740 is also
available on the RCP-730 (but not on the RCP-731 dial control type).
(e) Flexible Assignment of RCPs
The CNU-700 is at the heart of the star-shaped network system. Its
internal data routing matrix, controlled from the MSU-700, allows
any RCP to be assigned to control any camera without reconnecting
cables between camera heads and RCPs. Please refer to Figure 6-7.
* Multi camera control from one remote panel
* Parallel control of a camera from multiple remote panels
