8.1 Introduction

The WRC-2 not only replaces camera control accessories like WRC-1, RCU-1 or the External Display EXD-1. By using special software modules for each task, it provides many other new features and possibilities. The Software Modules are called „Menus“ and can be started from the „Main Menu“ in the WRC‑2.

Future software releases and menus can be uploaded to by connecting an USB memory stick to the WRC-2.
