3. Introduction

The Wireless Remote Control WRC-1 is a handy remote control unit for use with all of the latest generation of ARRIFLEX camera models: ARRIFLEX 16SR 3/Advanced, 16SR 3 HS/Advanced, 535, 535B, 435, 435ES

It enables the user to remotely control:

•the camera speed,

•the shutter angle of the mirror shutter, and

•the aperture of the lens (iris),

providing a wide range of compensation options for constant exposure.

The range of functions offered by the WRC-1 is automatically adapted to the limits of the camera and the lens control motor to which it is connected. The large handwheel permits sensitive adjustment of operational values, and easy programming of end-stops for user-defined minimum and maximum values.

The illuminated LCD provides quick, precise and comprehensive information about all the settings, the status of the camera and the WRC-1, including all warnings.

The WRC-1 is the perfect addition to the ARRI Wireless Lens Control System. Connected to the Wireless Main Unit WMU-1 of the Wireless LCS it enables all functions to be remotely controlled. The WRC-1 can also be connected to the camera via cable using the Wireless Handgrip Attachment WHA-1 of the Wireless LCS system. However, the lens remote-control functions are not available in this mode.
