VRC Control Panel
The VRC system is consists of a computer with a touch
screen that runs the VRC application software and a
hardware control panel. These two control systems are
designed to provide a logical and easy-to-use interface
enabling you to control all aspects of the VRC and the
attached camera systems.
The VRC control panel enables you to select and control
connected camera units (incl. camera, pan/tilt head and
optional pedestal) to obtain the correct views for the
required shots.
Overview
The VRC control panel is designed to integrate with the Vinten Radamec Control
(VRC) software, providing control of robotic heads and pedestals. Control panels can
be supplied to control either 8 or 16 camera units and with either one (Pan/Tilt/Zoom)
or two (Pan/Tilt/Zoom and XY/Height) joysticks:
• The right-hand joystick (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) controls the pan and tilt movements of
the robotic head and the zoom functions on the camera lens.
• The optional left-hand joystick (XY/Height) controls the steering, travel and
height of the robotic pedestals.
The VRC firmware allows up to 8 axes of movement to be operated at the same time.
There are also options that can control the camera Iris and Black CCU functions.
This guide details the use of all control panel variations, and therefore some functions
may not be present on your control panel. If a button or control described in the text
or illustrations is not present on your control panel, then your model does not support
that function. It is also possible that the installation engineer may customise the
functionality of the system function buttons affecting functions available and their
precise location on the panel.
Whilst these control panels are designed to control Fusion and SP2000 robotic
products, there is also an option to support the functionality of the RP2A pedestal.
