The Iris button would normally be used where a lens has a small DC
motor to drive the iris. This would allow ‘Normal’ or ‘Reverse’ to be
selected so that when operating the main iris control knob the direction
of the motor can be changed. There are many possible reasons why
the iris might be rotating in the wrong direction in this situation so the
selection is provided to ensure that clockwise rotation of the iris knob
increase the exposure and anti-clockwise rotation reduces the
exposure. The two dashed lines and the fact that the function button
here is not illuminated show that this camera type does not have this
function available.
The Focus option will set either ‘Manual’ or ‘Auto’ Focus for some types of lens.
The Mono option can be used to set some camera types produce a
monochrome picture.
The next menu provides some more functions which may be available
for certain camera types.
Stab will switch lens stabilisation on or off if that function is available.
Frz will freeze the camera picture if the camera has that function built-
in.
Neg will switch the picture to a negative image.
Pwr will switch the camera power On or Off when this is provided as a remote control function by the
manufacturer.
Finally the last Aux Menu allows the picture to be ‘Flipped’ either
horizontally or vertically if the function is available.
Fixed Operation ‘ Action’ Buttons
This row of buttons perform specific functions which are frequently used and so have individual buttons
available to allow quick access.
Update Camera
The update camera button is used to send a complete copy of all the RCP settings to the camera on any
selected channel. This includes values set by the colour gains and blacks, master black, iris and auto iris
values. It may also send a command required by a particular camera type to set that camera into remote
control mode.
For these reasons it is important to use this button at any time after a camera has been switched off and
on again. If in doubt press the update button! Usually there will be no visible change in the picture when
this button is pressed as you will simply be sending the same command values that the camera has
already set.
