When the knob at the leftmost position (Page) is turned clockwise, larger-numbered buttons are displayed one by one.
File Operations Transferring Scene Files between the Camera and a Memory Stick (with the DXC-D50 Series) When a DXC-D50-series camera is connected, the registered scene files can be stored as a data block and can be read when required. Storing the scene files on a Memory Stick Proceed as follows: 1 2 3 Press the OTHERS button in the Menu operation block so that the OTHERS menu is displayed on the LCD, then press [RCP Config] to call the RCP Config menu. Set the menu to Advanced Setting mode.
Operating Setup Files (for DXCD30/D35 Series only) Among the setting items listed in the table on pages 51 and 52, the settings for those items that have “yes” in the Setup-file column are stored as a setup file in the memory of the camera. In addition to five files (PRESET 1 to PRESET 5) that have already been registered in the camera, three more files (USER 1 to USER 3) can be registered and retrieved as required. 5 Press [Store].
Skin Detail Correction/Skin Matrix Adjustment (for DXC-D30/D35/D50 Series Only) The skin detail and skin matrix functions can adjust detail level and matrix (saturation and hue) of a selected skin gate area (area designated by color range). Once a skin gate area has been selected, it can be used as a target for both skin detail correction and skin matrix adjustment, and activation of each function can be performed independently.
Multi-Camera Control Connections and Preparatons In a multi-camera system, connecting all the CCUTX7 units via the RS232C connectors allows one RCP unit selected from all the RCP units in the system to control the multiple cameras. If the selected unit is set as the master unit and the rest are set as slave units, the setting data of the camera connected to the master unit can be transferred to other cameras.
Multi-Camera Control Notes • While scene file transfer is in progress on a slave unit, do not tranfer data from the master unit to the slave unit. Scene file transfer will fail. • The master/slave setting is released while transferring the scene files. Operating Multiple Cameras from One RCP Unit —Command Link Command link allows one RCP selected as the master unit to control the adjustments or settings of the cameras connected to the slave units.
Memory Sticks Using a Memory Stick When a Memory Stick is inserted in the panel, the file data can be stored on the Memory Stick, which enables you to share data among RCPs. Inserting a Memory Stick Insert a Memory Stick with the label side to the left into the Memory Stick slot until it clicks and the access lamp lights in red. Notes on Memory Stick On Memory Stick Memory Stick is a new compact, portable and versatile IC recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk.
Memory Sticks Handling of Memory Stick • Image data may be damaged in the following cases: – If you remove the Memory Stick, or turn the power off when the access lamp is lit in red – If you use a Memory Stick near static electricity or a magnetic field We recommend backing up important data. • Prevent metallic objects or your finger from coming into contact with the terminal of the connecting section. • Do not attach any material other than the supplied label to the label space.
