Overview
The RCP-TX7 Remote Control Panel enables remote
operation of the DXC-D30/D30P or DXC-637 series
Color Video Camera.
This unit’s features are described below.
Connectable to camera control unit or
camera head
When a CCU (CCU-TX7/TX7P Camera Control Unit)
has been connected to a CA (CA-TX7/TX7P Camera
Adaptor) that is docked with a camera head, this unit
can be connected to the CCU to enable remote
operation of the camera via the CCU.
When the DXC-D30/D30P is docked with a CA-537/
537P Camera Adaptor or VCR, this unit can be
connected to the DXC-D30/D30P to enable direct
operation of the camera.
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).
Confirmation of camera conditions and
operation status
This unit’s LCD panel indicates camera conditions
such as the optical filter position, value, and lens
extender setting. The results of the camera’s self-
diagnosis tests are also displayed on the LCD panel.
Scene file
The unit provides memory to hold data on shooting
conditions for 16 different scenes, to enable easy
readjustment of the camera for any memorized scenes.
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.
High-precision and high-speed control
Commands can be issued at high speed, which means
that remote operation with the unit’s knobs can be
performed more smoothly than with previous remote
control devices. Also, high-precision data transfer
raises control precision.
