RCP operation​

By default, camera head control has priority over CC control. For example, on a camera that only have white controls:

  • if you touch the gain on the RCP, we will send it to the camera
  • if you touch the blacks, we will send it to the CC

In this case, 3 new buttons will appear on your RCP:

  • CAM to toggle the camera head control
  • POST to toggle the CC control
  • C->P | P->C to change the camera/CC control priority

RCP : Camera and CC combined by default​

Combine camera and CC, camera has priority (CC only compensate what the camera has not)

RCP : Camera only​

RCP : CC only​

RCP : Camera and CC, CC has priority over camera​

  • P->C stands for Post (processing) over Camera control
  • C->P stands for Camera over Post (processing) control
