Introduction
The VideoSys camera control solution consists of several distinct components; an ‘RCP’ (Remote Control Panel),
this is made by a camera manufacturer such as Sony and is connected to the ‘IDU’ Indoor Unit. Up to four RCPs
can be connected to a single IDU. The ‘ODU’ Outdoor Unit is basically the data transmitter, it connects to the
IDU and takes the narrow band control data produced by the IDU and transmits it to the data receiver ‘RX’ over
a UHF radio link. From this point on the terms IDU, ODU, RCP and RX will be used.
For simplicity we will focus on a Uni-directional setup and note the connection process for the camera control
receiver, be that an AEON-CC or RXSM-E to the ARRI camera is the same.
Examples of configuration in this manual will use an ARRI AMIRA may not be completely relevant to different
equipment. For specifics on setting up equipment not provided by VideoSys Broadcast, please refer to manuals
supplied by the manufacturer of that product.
Requirements
Hardware
You will require a minimum of the following:
•1 x AEON-CC or RXSM-E
•1 x Multicam cable, depending on the Arri camera this could be an RJ45 to LEMO cable or a Standard
RJ45 ethernet cable.
•If using the RXSM-E you will need a power cable for the RXSM-E (See your local distributer).
NOTE Diagrams for the required cables are at the end of this document
Licence Options
Ensure that the AEON-CC or RXSM-E are licensed for use with ARRI cameras.

Configuration
Camera Control Path:
The diagram above shows the data flow from the RCP to the camera. There is a local loop between the RCP and
the IDU. The IDU always maintains a connection to the RCP regardless. The narrowband data generated by the
IDU is then sent to the ODU via RS485, RS232 or IP connection. This data is transmitted by UHF radio to the RX
at the camera. Again, there is a local loop communication between the camera and the data RX. The data RX
receives the UHF radio data and converts it into Arri protocol to control the camera.
ARRI AMIRA set up menus
There are user set up files available on the Arri camera, see the operation guide for more information. But, note
is it possible to have a file preconfigured for the Multicam mode. Multicam mode is used in multiple camera set
ups to allow the user to control the cameras picture parameters ‘live’. This is very useful when the cameras are
being used in a live to air show, but also to help reduce the post girding process.
Turn Multicam on
From the main menu select System

Main Menu > System
Then Select Multicam sub menu
System > Multicam
Then check the tick box. Multicam mode is now enabled.
Static IP Address:
When connecting devices using ethernet, each device must have its own unique IP address. On many network
systems such as an office computer network, there is a server which identifies components on the network and
automatically issues them with a unique IP address. This system however requires the user to enter IP
addresses manually. The user must ensure all of the connected components have a unique address. This type
of network connection is often referred to as Static IP. It is always best to pre-plan your network addresses
especially if you are in a multicamera environment to ensure you do not duplicate IP addresses. Devices that
need to communicate locally with each other, such as the AEON CC and the camera, need to be on the same IP
range. A common IP range might be 192.168.1.xxx. Where xxx is changed between 001 and 254 to create a
unique address for each device, for example the AEON CC or RXSM-E might have IP address 192.168.1.10 and
the Arri camera might be 192.168.1.101

To enter a static IP address on the camera, please go back to the main menu:
MENU > SYSTEM > NETWORK / WIFI > LAN static IP.
To navigate the menus on the RXSM-E or AEON CC menu, Use the black navigation button, Left/Right/Up/Down
and press for enter
To set the IP address on the RXSM-E or AEON CC:
Now on the Arri camera you need to go to the SSCP menu and set the SSCP device IP to be the IP address of the
AEON-CC or RXSM-E Turn Multicam on and the ARRI should connect to the AEON-CC, this is indicated by the
plug icon on the AEON-CC or RXSM-E status screen.
