Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck,” either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.

Features

The RCP-920/921 Remote Control Panel is designed for remote control of the BVP/HDC series Color Video Camera via the CCU/HDCU Camera Control Unit. This panel is connected to the CCU/HDCU Camera Control Unit (or the CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit, which is connected to the CCU/HDCU) by a dedicated cable of up to 200 m (656 feet) in length and controls the camera functions which are used most frequently in basic applications from a distance.

The RCP-920 and RCP-921 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-920 uses a joystick type control while the RCP-921 uses rotary knobs.

The principal features of the RCP-920/921 are as follows.

Optimized control arrangement for basic camera operation

This remote control panel is provided with essential control functions for basic operation of a BVP/HDC- series 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.

Auto setup control

The RCP-920/921 has built-in microcomputers that reliably perform automatic setup for the majority of the control items. The various items can be automatically adjusted independently or in combination.

Scene file control

Using the paint menu, camera adjustment data for a particular scene can be stored in the video camera as a scene file. Up to five such files can be stored. This allows quick adaptation to various shooting conditions simply by calling up a scene file.
