Overview  
The RCP-D50/D51 Remote Control Panel enables  
remote operation of the DXC-D50-series, DXC-D30/  
D35-series,or DXC-637-series Color Video Cameras.  
Confirmation of camera conditions and  
operation status  
This unit’s LCD panel indicates camera conditions  
such as the optical filter position, value, and lens  
extender setting. The results of the camera’s self-  
diagnosis tests are also displayed on the LCD panel.  
The RCP-D50 and RCP-D51 are completely identical  
in their functions except with respect to the iris and  
master black adjustments.  
For the iris and master black adjustments, the RCP-  
D50 uses a joystick type control while the RCP-D51  
uses rotary knobs.  
Signal transmission via a digital line  
Between this remote control panel and the camera  
control unit, signals are digitally transmitted via a  
single connection cable (CCA-7), ensuring a reliable  
signal. Operating power is also supplied via the cable.  
Features  
Optimal control parts arrangement for  
basic camera operation  
Memory Stick slot  
Various data, including scene files, can be stored on a  
Memory Stick and reproduced at any time.  
This remote control panel is provided with essential  
control functions for basic operation of a camera.  
The buttons, knobs, and other controls have been  
arranged according to their functions and with  
consideration to their frequency of use. Indicators and  
buttons light or flash to indicate the status of the  
system operation. Also, guard frames are provided to  
protect against accidental use of those buttons vital to  
camera operation. These features ensure easy and  
error-free use of this remote control panel.  
Touch panel with 31/2-inch LCD for various  
operations  
The control panel has a touch panel that permits  
various items to be selected and adjusted on the LCD  
in menu format. (The menu items differ among the  
cameras to be connected.)  
Full control of shooting operations  
Video display function  
Besides controlling camera adjustments and settings,  
this unit can control tripod operations (pan and tilt) and  
lens settings (focus and zoom).  
The LCD can also display pictures from the connected  
camera, permitting you to use it as a convenient video  
monitor.  
Scene file  
Four units mountable on a 19-inch rack  
The unit provides memory to hold data on shooting  
conditions for 20 different scenes, to enable easy  
readjustment of the camera for any memorized scenes.  
(When a DXC-D50-series camera is connected, data  
are held in memory of the camera.)  
Up to four units of this control panel can be mounted  
in a line on a 19-inch EIA standard rack.  
Coordination of settings among several  
cameras  
In a system that includes several cameras that are  
connected via CCUs, connecting the CCUs allows this  
unit to set up all of the cameras into the same color  
condition.

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.  
If you power off the unit or store the current  
settings as a scene file while setting the detail level  
to the minimum value, the skin detail function will  
be set to off when you power on the unit or recall  
the scene file next time.  
To store the skin detail settings  
Set the SKIN DETAIL button on before powering off  
the unit or storing the settings as a scene file. If the  
button is off, the skin detail settings will not be stored.  
Selecting the skin gate area  
Normally, use the SKIN DTL SETUP button of the  
AUTO SETUP block to designate the skin gate  
position (target color) automatically.  
Performing skin matrix adjustment  
Follow the procedure described below to adjust the  
matrix (saturation and hue) of the skin gate area.  
1 Press and light the SKIN DTL SETUP button  
1 Select [Skin Matrix] in Paint menu 3.  
(ON).  
2 Set [Skin Matrix] to ON.  
The window which shows the skin gate and target  
area appears in the camera’s viewfinder.  
You can also see the skin gate with a picture  
output from the CCU’s PIX connector.  
3 Set the saturation and hue using the leftmost  
control knob (Hue) or the second control knob  
(Sat) from the left.  
2 Press the START button.  
Selecting 00 causes the same situation as the skin  
matrix function is set off.  
The skin gate is designated automatically.  
If you power off the unit or store the current  
settings as a scene file while selecting 00, the skin  
matrix function will be set to off when you power  
on the unit or recall the scene file next time.  
When using a DXC-D30/D35-series camera, you can  
manually adjust the position of the designated skin  
gate in Paint menu.  
Note  
When using the DXC-D30 series, this adjustment is  
valid when the matrix adjustment function is active.  
Performing skin detail correction  
By skin detail correction, you can lower the detail level  
of the skin gate area to the detail level outside of the  
area.  
To store the skin matrix settings  
Activate both the matrix adjustment and skin matrix  
adjustment functions before powering off the unit or  
storing the settings as a scene file. Otherwise, the skin  
matrix settings will not be stored.  
1 Press and light the SKIN DETAIL button (ON).  
2 Select [Skin Detail] in Paint menu 2.  
3 Set the detail correction level using the leftmost  
control knob (Level).  
Setting the level to the max. value (+99): The  
detail level of the area is set to the lowest level.  
Setting the level to the min. value (0): The detail  
level of the area is set to the same level with the  
outside of the area. (The same situation as the  
skin detail function is set to off.)

Multi-Camera Control  
Connections and Preparatons  
Adjusting the Iris/Master Black  
of Multiple Cameras at One Time  
In a multi-camera system, connecting all the CCU-  
TX7 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.  
For iris and master black adjustments, you can use any  
one of the RCP units (whether it is the master unit or a  
slave unit) specified with the IRIS/M.BLACK LINK  
button.  
1 Select the cameras for which you will adjust the  
iris or master black by pressing the IRIS/  
M.BLACK LINK buttons on the connected RCP  
units. (The buttons light when pressed.)  
To make connections among the CCU-TX7  
units  
Connect RS-232C cross (or reverse) cables with D-sub  
25-pin plugs (not supplied) to the RS232C connectors  
on each CCU to make a daisy chain of the CCUs.  
2 Adjust the iris or master black on one RCP unit  
whose IRIS/M.BLACK LINK button lights.  
For more information about cables which can be used,  
consult your Sony dealer.  
On the cameras connected to the RCP units whose  
IRIS/M.BLACK LINK buttons light, the iris or  
master black adjustments are performed by the  
same amount and at the same time (on relative  
mode).  
Notes  
• It is impossible to assure that all the cameras can be  
set up to the same conditions under the multi-camera  
control. Setting purposes and the current condition of  
each camera may cause variation of the setting  
condition.  
Note  
The IRIS/M.BLACK LINK function is released while  
transferring the scene files.  
• In a system which contains more than two types of  
cameras, the setting items, adjustment range and  
adjustment accuracy available at the multi-camera  
operation are determined depending on the efficiency  
of the camera connected to the master unit.  
• There are two setting modes: Absolute mode and  
Relative mode.  
Data Transfer Among Multiple  
Cameras  
The settings made on the master unit can be transferred  
to the cameras connected to the slave units, if they can  
be registered as a scene file.  
• Settings performed on a slave unit are valid only to  
the connected camera.  
Perform as follows:  
Setting a unit to the master unit or a slave  
unit  
1 Select [File] from the OTHERS menu, and press  
[Copy to Slaves].  
Note  
Perform the following procedure after making sure all  
the cameras in the system are powered on. Note that  
executing the procedure when there is any cameras  
powered off may result in failure.  
2 Press [Start].  
Data transfer begins.  
Meanwhile, on all the linked RCP units (including  
units selected as neither the master unit nor slave  
units), the message “IN PROGRESS” is displayed on  
the LCD and all buttons and knobs are locked.  
1 Select one RCP unit for the master unit, and press  
the MASTER button. (The button lights when  
pressed.)  
When the data transfer completes, the message  
“COMPLETED” appears on the LCD. The LCD soon  
returns to the original status.  
2 Select one RCP unit (or more) for a slave unit, and  
press the SLAVE button. (The button lights when  
pressed.)

Using a Memory Stick  
Notes on 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.  
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 Stick is  
specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital  
data among Memory Stick compatible products.  
Because it is removable, Memory Stick can also be  
used for external data storage.  
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.  
Types of Memory Stick  
Label side  
There are two types of Memory Stick: “MagicGate  
Memory Stick” that are equipped with the MagicGate  
copyright protection technology and general “Memory  
Stick.” You can use either type of Memory Stick with  
your camera. However, because your camera does not  
support the MagicGate standards, data recorded with  
your camera is not subject to MagicGate copyright  
protection.
