Overview

Operating Cameras

Camera control permissions (panel active,
IRIS/MB active, and PARA)
By combining an MSU and RCP, you can operate one camera
device from multiple control panels, and multiple cameras from
one MSU. This is called a "multi-camera system." A multi-
camera system can be implemented by introducing a CNU or
by establishing a LAN connection in MCS mode.
To prevent unintentional operation in a multi-camera system,
permission is granted to operate the cameras for only either
the connected MSU or RCP. There are three types of
permission.
• Panel active
Even if multiple control panels are connected to one camera,
only one control panel has the control permission. This is
called "panel active."
An inactive control panel only allows the state to be viewed.
Furthermore, even in this case, you can also enable only
IRIS and master black.
• PARA (parallel control)
By enabling the PARA function on an inactive control panel,
you can control cameras. The PARA function is enabled
from an inactive control panel, but can be disabled from any
control panel.
• IRIS/MB active
To prevent unintentional operation of IRIS and master black,
you can choose the control panels on which to activate IRIS/
MB. The PARA function does not operate.
Operating an inactive control panel on which PARA is
disabled will not change the state of the camera.
White balance link (master/subordinate mode)
The color temperature of light shining on the subject varies
moment by moment when you shoot outdoors. When
correcting for this, you can link the cameras within the system
and then control them. When you do this, set the camera that
is to be controlled directly to "Master," and the cameras that
are to be linked to "Subordinate."
When you change the white balance of the control panel to
which the master camera is connected, the subordinate
cameras are corrected by the same correction amount.
However, adjusting a subordinate camera does not affect any
of the other cameras.
The white balance link function is only enabled when there is
a connection to a CNU (LEGACY mode).
