Disabling the Panel Disable button
The DIP switch in the control panel can be used to disable the Panel Disable button.
If the switch is set to ‘ON’ the button is disabled, if the switch is set to ‘OFF’ the button
will operate normally.
Controlling a camera unit
Most of the controls (buttons, joysticks and rotary knobs) only act on the currently
selected camera unit. If no unit is selected the controls will have no effect.
If the selected camera unit is not mounted on a pedestal, a number of the controls will
have no effect, including: Joystick enable, XY/Height joystick, Pan Follow and
Bumper Disable. In addition, Override, Target Disable, Backup Link and Infrared
Disable controls are only available if the camera unit is mounted on a RP2A pedestal.
The Cut/Fade/Stop and Fade Time controls parallel controls in the VRC client
application software, affecting how the software moves between stored shots.
Selecting a camera
The Camera Select buttons [15] allow selection of individual camera units (camera,
pan and tilt head and pedestal – where fitted). Once selected, the depressed push
button illuminates and the camera unit can be controlled by the joysticks.
If the optional video switcher and preview monitor are installed, the video from the
selected camera is displayed on the video monitor enabling you to set up the shot.
Button mapping
The default order in which cameras appear on the control panel and touch screen
Camera Select buttons is determined by the system configuration files.
The Button Mapping utility (see VRC Technical Guide, publication no. V4009-4990)
can be used to map any camera to any button (or multiple buttons) on the control
panel and touch screen as part of a Button Map group.
You can define multiple button map groups to match your workflows. These groups
are displayed in the workspace screen above the shots frames and can be selected
by touching the button on the screen.
NOTE: If a selected camera unit is not available (e.g. because it is in Manual
mode), the camera cannot be selected and the select button will not light.
