Overview

The RCP-D50/D51 Remote Control Panel enables

remote operation of the DXC-D50-series, DXC-D30/

D35-series,or DXC-637-series Color Video Cameras.

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.

The RCP-D50 and RCP-D51 are completely identical

in their functions except with respect to the iris and

master black adjustments.

For the iris and master black adjustments, the RCP-

D50 uses a joystick type control while the RCP-D51

uses rotary knobs.

Signal transmission via a digital line

Between this remote control panel and the camera

control unit, signals are digitally transmitted via a

single connection cable (CCA-7), ensuring a reliable

signal. Operating power is also supplied via the cable.

Features

Optimal control parts arrangement for

basic camera operation

Memory Stick slot

Various data, including scene files, can be stored on a

Memory Stick and reproduced at any time.

This remote control panel is provided with essential

control functions for basic operation of a camera.

The buttons, knobs, and other controls have been

arranged according to their functions and with

consideration to their frequency of use. Indicators and

buttons light or flash to indicate the status of the

system operation. Also, guard frames are provided to

protect against accidental use of those buttons vital to

camera operation. These features ensure easy and

error-free use of this remote control panel.

Touch panel with 3¹/2-inch LCD for various

operations

The control panel has a touch panel that permits

various items to be selected and adjusted on the LCD

in menu format. (The menu items differ among the

cameras to be connected.)

Full control of shooting operations

Video display function

Besides controlling camera adjustments and settings,

this unit can control tripod operations (pan and tilt) and

lens settings (focus and zoom).

The LCD can also display pictures from the connected

camera, permitting you to use it as a convenient video

monitor.

Scene file

Four units mountable on a 19-inch rack

The unit provides memory to hold data on shooting

conditions for 20 different scenes, to enable easy

readjustment of the camera for any memorized scenes.

(When a DXC-D50-series camera is connected, data

are held in memory of the camera.)

Up to four units of this control panel can be mounted

in a line on a 19-inch EIA standard rack.

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.

Skin Detail Correction/Skin Matrix Adjustment (for

DXC-D30/D35/D50 Series Only)

The skin detail and skin matrix functions can adjust

detail level and matrix (saturation and hue) of a

selected skin gate area (area designated by color

range).

Once a skin gate area has been selected, it can be used

as a target for both skin detail correction and skin

matrix adjustment, and activation of each function can

be performed independently.

If you power off the unit or store the current

settings as a scene file while setting the detail level

to the minimum value, the skin detail function will

be set to off when you power on the unit or recall

the scene file next time.

To store the skin detail settings

Set the SKIN DETAIL button on before powering off

the unit or storing the settings as a scene file. If the

button is off, the skin detail settings will not be stored.

Selecting the skin gate area

Normally, use the SKIN DTL SETUP button of the

AUTO SETUP block to designate the skin gate

position (target color) automatically.

Performing skin matrix adjustment

Follow the procedure described below to adjust the

matrix (saturation and hue) of the skin gate area.

1 Press and light the SKIN DTL SETUP button

1 Select [Skin Matrix] in Paint menu 3.

(ON).

2 Set [Skin Matrix] to ON.

The window which shows the skin gate and target

area appears in the camera’s viewfinder.

You can also see the skin gate with a picture

output from the CCU’s PIX connector.

3 Set the saturation and hue using the leftmost

control knob (Hue) or the second control knob

(Sat) from the left.

2 Press the START button.

Selecting 00 causes the same situation as the skin

matrix function is set off.

The skin gate is designated automatically.

If you power off the unit or store the current

settings as a scene file while selecting 00, the skin

matrix function will be set to off when you power

on the unit or recall the scene file next time.

When using a DXC-D30/D35-series camera, you can

manually adjust the position of the designated skin

gate in Paint menu.

Note

When using the DXC-D30 series, this adjustment is

valid when the matrix adjustment function is active.

Performing skin detail correction

By skin detail correction, you can lower the detail level

of the skin gate area to the detail level outside of the

area.

To store the skin matrix settings

Activate both the matrix adjustment and skin matrix

adjustment functions before powering off the unit or

storing the settings as a scene file. Otherwise, the skin

matrix settings will not be stored.

1 Press and light the SKIN DETAIL button (ON).

2 Select [Skin Detail] in Paint menu 2.

3 Set the detail correction level using the leftmost

control knob (Level).

Setting the level to the max. value (+99): The

detail level of the area is set to the lowest level.

Setting the level to the min. value (0): The detail

level of the area is set to the same level with the

outside of the area. (The same situation as the

skin detail function is set to off.)

Multi-Camera Control

Connections and Preparatons

Adjusting the Iris/Master Black

of Multiple Cameras at One Time

In a multi-camera system, connecting all the CCU-

TX7 units via the RS232C connectors allows one RCP

unit selected from all the RCP units in the system to

control the multiple cameras.

If the selected unit is set as the master unit and the rest

are set as slave units, the setting data of the camera

connected to the master unit can be transferred to other

cameras.

For iris and master black adjustments, you can use any

one of the RCP units (whether it is the master unit or a

slave unit) specified with the IRIS/M.BLACK LINK

button.

1 Select the cameras for which you will adjust the

iris or master black by pressing the IRIS/

M.BLACK LINK buttons on the connected RCP

units. (The buttons light when pressed.)

To make connections among the CCU-TX7

units

Connect RS-232C cross (or reverse) cables with D-sub

25-pin plugs (not supplied) to the RS232C connectors

on each CCU to make a daisy chain of the CCUs.

2 Adjust the iris or master black on one RCP unit

whose IRIS/M.BLACK LINK button lights.

For more information about cables which can be used,

consult your Sony dealer.

On the cameras connected to the RCP units whose

IRIS/M.BLACK LINK buttons light, the iris or

master black adjustments are performed by the

same amount and at the same time (on relative

mode).

Notes

• It is impossible to assure that all the cameras can be

set up to the same conditions under the multi-camera

control. Setting purposes and the current condition of

each camera may cause variation of the setting

condition.

Note

The IRIS/M.BLACK LINK function is released while

transferring the scene files.

• In a system which contains more than two types of

cameras, the setting items, adjustment range and

adjustment accuracy available at the multi-camera

operation are determined depending on the efficiency

of the camera connected to the master unit.

• There are two setting modes: Absolute mode and

Relative mode.

Data Transfer Among Multiple

Cameras

The settings made on the master unit can be transferred

to the cameras connected to the slave units, if they can

be registered as a scene file.

• Settings performed on a slave unit are valid only to

the connected camera.

Perform as follows:

Setting a unit to the master unit or a slave

unit

1 Select [File] from the OTHERS menu, and press

[Copy to Slaves].

Note

Perform the following procedure after making sure all

the cameras in the system are powered on. Note that

executing the procedure when there is any cameras

powered off may result in failure.

2 Press [Start].

Data transfer begins.

Meanwhile, on all the linked RCP units (including

units selected as neither the master unit nor slave

units), the message “IN PROGRESS” is displayed on

the LCD and all buttons and knobs are locked.

1 Select one RCP unit for the master unit, and press

the MASTER button. (The button lights when

pressed.)

When the data transfer completes, the message

“COMPLETED” appears on the LCD. The LCD soon

returns to the original status.

2 Select one RCP unit (or more) for a slave unit, and

press the SLAVE button. (The button lights when

pressed.)
