RCP Pro / RCPv2 :: Control more than 8 cameras

Optimal control

For optimal control we suggest having an RCP panel for each camera.
This is how camera control was intended, when Sony invented the RCP form factor in the beginning of time.

 

Default 'Camera Control' configuration

RCP Pro and RPCv2 panels have a feature rich pre-made default configuration called 'Camera Control'.
It is selected on Home page in the configuration drop-down menu, right next to the panel icon.

This configuration allow you to add up to 8 cameras, even from different brands.
And it's a perfect fit to map 'Camera Select 1-8' to the 8 small buttons in the panel top.

Options for more cameras

If you need to control more cameras you can..

  • purchase more RCP panels
  • create your own custom configuration from scratch
  • modify the 'Camera Control' configuration to handle more cameras

 

How to modify the 'Camera Control' configuration

This includes:

  • increasing the allowed number of cameras on Home page
  • create a variable to store 'current camera selector page'
  • assign the variable to a button (to toggle pages)
  • assign the variable to the Generator for camera select (to automatically create more pages)

We have made a screen recording video (2min 24sec), that shows you how to modify the configuration step-by-step.
