Overview 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)
lens settings (focus and zoom).
Confirmation of camera conditions and
operation status
This unit's LCD indicates camera conditions
such as the filter value, and lens
extender 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
readjustment of the camera for any memorized scenes.

and

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.

Skin Detail Correction/Skin Matrix Adjustment (for DXC-D30/D30P

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.

Selecting the skin gate area

Normally, use the AUTO SETUP SKIN DETAIL button (see page 6) to designate the skin gate position (target color) automatically.

1 Press and set the AUTO SETUP SKIN DETAIL button to on.

2

The AUTO SKIN menu appears on the LCD panel, and the window which shows the skin gate and target area appears in the camera's viewfinder. You can see the skin gate with a picture output from the CCU's PIX connector.

Press the AUTO SETUP SKIN DETAIL button again.

3

The skin gate is designated automatically. You can manually adjust the position of the designated skin gate in the SKIN GATE menu (page 3/3, advanced setting page)

Set the size of the skin gate area (target color range) manually using the SKIN GATE menus if necessary. Using page 1/3 of the AUTO SKIN or of the SKIN GATE menu: You can adjust the R-Y and B-Y ranges to the same value at the same time. Using page 2/3 of the SKIN GATE menu: You can adjust the R-Y and B-Y ranges independently.

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.

1 Press and set the SKIN DETAIL button to on (see page 8).

2 Use the LEVEL knob in the SKIN DETAIL menu to set the detail correction 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 (-99): 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.)

If you power off the unit or store the current settings as a scene file while setting the detail level to -99, 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.

Performing skin matrix adjustment

Follow the procedure described below to adjust the matrix (saturation and hue) of the skin gate area.

1 Select the ON button on both pages 1/2 and 2/2 of the MATRIX menu. (Be sure to activate the matrix adjustment function on page 1/2.)

2 Use the SATURATION and HUE knobs in page 2/2 of the MATRIX menu to adjust the saturation and hue.

Selecting 00 causes the same situation as the skin matrix function is set off. 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.

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.

Skin Multi-Camera Detail Correction/Skin Control Matrix Adjustment (for DXC-D30/D30P)

In a multi-camera system, connecting all the CCUs 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.

To make connections among the CCUs

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.

For more information about cables which can be used, consult your Sony dealer.

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.

•  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.

•  Settings performed on a slave unit are valid only to the connected camera.

Setting a unit to the master unit or a slave unit

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.

Select one RCP unit for the master unit, and press the MASTER button. (The button lights when pressed.)

Select one RCP unit (or more) for a slave unit, and press the SLAVE button. (The button lights when pressed.)

Operating Multiple Cameras from One RCP Unit -Command Link

Command link allows one RCP selected as the master unit to control the adjustments or settings of the cameras connected to the slave units.

To perform command link adjustments/ settings

The following table shows the adjustments or settings which can be performed by command link. Perform a listed operation before the desired adjustment or setting on the master unit. Other than the adjustment or setting listed in the table, iris and master black can be adjusted by command link in a different way.

For iris and master black adjustments, see "Adjusting the Iris and Master Black of Multiple Cameras at One Time" on next page.

M.BLACK LINK buttons on the connected RCP

units. (The buttons light when pressed.)

2 Adjust the iris or master black on one RCP unit whose IRIS/M.BLACK LINK button lights.

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).

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 (see page 21). Perform as follows.

Press the COPY TO SLAVES button on the COPY TO SLAVES page in the OTHERS menu on the master unit.

Data transfer begins. Meanwhile, on all the linked RCP units (including units selected as neither the master unit nor slave units), the message "COPY IN PROGRESS" is displayed on the LCD panels and all buttons and knobs are locked.

When the data transfer completes, the message "COPY COMPLETED" appears on the LCD panels. The LCD panel soon returns to the original status.
