Enhancement Of External Video Output Function
From the SDI OUT/HDMI OUT terminal, the new Firmware allows not only video output for one camera, but also 2×2 and 3×3 multi-display screens, plus a thumbnail display of presets/traces which can be fed to an external monitor. While checking the images of multiple cameras on an external monitor, the touch panel can be used to display and operate the normal menus1.
Thumbnail Display of Presets/Traces
Thanks to the new Firmware, thumbnail images of presets and traces registered in advance can be displayed on the touch panel. By touching the thumbnail image, preset and trace playback can be controlled.
Tracking Target Selection and Display Position
Thanks to the new Firmware, direct selection of the tracking target from LCD and control of subject size and position are enabled.
Focus Guide Display, OSD Display of Camera Setting Parameters
When manual focus selected, the focus guide can be displayed on the touch panel. In addition, the OSD display of camera setting information can be displayed on the image on the touch panel. You can check the camera settings at a glance even while shooting.
Assist Function
Thanks to the new Firmware, a waveform monitor, vectorscope, and three types of markers can be displayed on the touch panel. This allows easy visual checking of contrast, colour and composition.
Camera Settings Copy Function
Complete camera settings by selecting the source and destination cameras2 without the need for a PC. In a large-scale system with a large number of cameras, the time and effort required to set up the camera is greatly reduced.
Support For building systems with external devices using XC Protocol
By extending the XC Protocol, it is possible to control the RC-IP1000 and acquire status information in conjunction with an external control system.
When combining a remote camera system including the RC-IP1000 with an external product, the Firmware makes it possible to build a more flexible and compatible system.
Stream Deck Compatibility
Thanks to the new Firmware, Elgato’s Stream Deck can be connected directly via USB to increase the number of control buttons. From the RC-IP1000, functions such as Camera Selection and Preset Playback can be directly assigned to the keys of the Stream Deck. It is possible to build a system without a PC.
Automatic tracking support for the Remote Camera Control app (RCCA)
The new Firmware supports the operation and setting of the automatic tracking function. In scenes where multiple cameras are used, it is possible to operate and set automatic tracking more efficiently.
