Precautions
Precautions
Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least
99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck,”
either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or
flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the
physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are
not a malfunction.
Cleaning the touch panel
When cleaning the touch panel display, use a soft cloth and
some ethanol to gently wipe only the area that is dirty. Using
too much ethanol or broad wiping may result in smearing.
You can also use a soft, dry cloth such as that used for
cleaning glasses to gently wipe off the dirt.
• Do not clean the touch panel with water or any chemical
substances other than ethanol.
• When wiping the touch panel, take proper care to prevent
any liquid from entering between the touch panel and the
body of the unit.
• Using excessive force when wiping may result in scratches
on the touch panel.
Note on interference
Do not place mobile phones or similar devices on the control
panel. Doing so may result in malfunction of the unit.

Overview
Overview
Features
The MSU-1000 series and RCP-1000 series are remote
control panels for configuring and controlling Sony’s studio
and broadcast cameras.
This section describes the features that are common between
the MSU-1000 series and RCP-1000 series.
Remote control panels
The RCP-1000 series of remote control panels is designed
mainly for operation. Use a remote control panel with a camera
on a one-to-one basis.
• The RCP-1530 incorporates an LCD display with a touch
panel, and a variety of settings are available to make this
remote control panel compare favorably with the MSU. It is
multifunctional while at the same time having a slim body
that is just 80 mm wide, which allows you to mount up to five
units in a 19-inch EIA rack. The iris and master black
adjustment block employs joystick type control.
• The RCP-1500 incorporates an LCD display with direct
operation switches and a touch panel, which makes it a
remote control panel that offers both ease of operation and
multifunctionality that compares favorably with the MSU.
The iris and master black adjustment block employs joystick
type control. Up to four units can be mounted in a 19-inch
EIA rack.
• The RCP-1501 incorporates an LCD display with direct
operation switches and a touch panel, which makes it a
remote control panel that offers both ease of operation and
multifunctionality that compares favorably with the MSU.
The iris and master black adjustment block employs dial
(knob) type control. Up to four units can be mounted in a 19-
inch EIA rack.
Operability suitable for basic camera
operations
This remote control panel is provided with the control functions
required to perform the basic operations of cameras to enable
the simple and accurate operation of various functions. The
operation buttons, adjustment knobs, and other controls are
arranged on the panel according to function and frequency of
use. Guard frames are provided around buttons that are vital
to the operation and setup of cameras to prevent the buttons
from being unintentionally operated.
Illuminated buttons with high visibility flash and light to notify
you of the operation status to enable operation even in dark
locations. Likewise, an illuminated panel surface is employed
to allow you to confirm function names even when the
surroundings are dark.
Building of a variety of control systems
It is possible to connect by LAN cable in addition to connecting
using CCA-5 cable. Therefore, when setting up a multi-camera
control system, not only can a system be built using the
CNU-700 as previously, but a system can also be built using a
LAN. In a system that uses CNU-700s, two camera command
network units (CNUs) can be used to control a camera system
of up to 24 cameras. In a system that uses a LAN, a camera
system of up to 96 cameras can be controlled.
Support for operating multiple cameras
Various operations are made possible by using multiple
camera systems that support multiple cameras.
The following functions are provided to control the connected
cameras.
• Panel active function
This function always enables one control panel for one
camera to prevent unintentional operation. Even with a
control panel that does not have the panel active
permission, a camera can be operated using the parallel
function, with the exception of iris and master black
operations.
• RCP assignment function
This function changes the combination of an RCP and
camera system.
1)
• Master/subordinate function
This function makes changes in conjunction with the color
temperature of the specified camera system.
1) 2)
Customizable functions
Various settings can be configured according to the operation
configuration and the frequency with which functions are used.
• Menus
You can create a custom paint menu, and change the contents
and order of a menu.
• Function restriction
You can restrict access to items of a certain level or above to
restrict the operators that can configure settings.
•Switches
You can assign any function to a spare switch.
• Adjustment knobs
3)
You can assign any function to a spare adjustment knob.
• Operation and call sounds
You can mute and adjust the volume of the operation and call
sounds if necessary.
• Exporting and importing of settings
You can save the settings to a “Memory Stick Duo”, and then
export them to another remote control panel.
1) If multiple CNUs exist in the system, this only works for cameras
connected to the same CNU.
2) This does not work when connected to a network.
3) Customization of the adjustment knobs is only possible with the
RCP-1500/1501.

Examples of System Configurations
Connection example for LEGACY mode
• The maximum cable length for from a CCU (camera control unit) to an RCP is 200 m.
• Up to six systems can be connected to a CNU-700 as standard. In such a case, connect one MSU and one VCS.
Up to 12 systems can be connected if you install BKP-7930 in the CNU-700. In such a case, connect two MSUs and two
VCSs.
• Up to 24 systems can be connected if you connect a pair of CNU-700s. In such a case, you can connect four MSUs and
four VCSs, but ALL, RCP assignment, and master/subordinate cannot be executed for cameras connected to a different
CNU.

Overview
Connection example for MCS mode
Regarding the power supply of a switching hub
The power consumption of the PoE of this control panel is 7 W.
Use a hub capable of supplying enough power for all
connected RCPs.
• In MCS mode, be sure to set one of the multiple MSUs as the master. Not to turn off the power or disconnect the cable of
the master MSU during operation.
• The maximum number of devices that can be directly connected to the network is 96 excluding the master MSU. This
maximum number does not include any RCP connected by CCA cable to a CCU connected to the network or any CCU
connected by CCA cable to a RCP connected to the network. A client MSU is counted as one unit.
• A CNU and VCS cannot be connected to a system that will be used in MCS mode.

firmware version. Be sure to update to the latest version
before use.
• The functions that are available on the control panel may be
limited depending on the connected camera. Some controls
may not function with certain cameras, but this is not a
malfunction.
Operating Cameras
Camera control permissions (panel active,
IRIS/MB active, and PARA)
By combining an MSU and RCP, you can operate one camera
device from multiple control panels, and multiple cameras from
one MSU. This is called a “multi-camera system.” A multi-
camera system can be implemented by introducing a CNU or
by establishing a LAN connection in MCS mode.
To prevent unintentional operation in a multi-camera system,
permission is granted to operate the cameras for only either
the connected MSU or RCP. There are three types of
permission.
• Panel active
Even if multiple control panels are connected to one camera,
only one control panel has the control permission. This
panel is referred to as “active.”
An inactive control panel can only be used to display the
status.
• PARA (parallel control)
By enabling the PARA function on an inactive control panel,
you can control cameras. The PARA function is enabled
from an inactive control panel, but can be disabled from any
control panel.
• IRIS/MB active
To prevent unintentional operation of IRIS and master black,
you can choose the control panels on which to activate
IRIS/MB. The PARA function does not operate.
Operating an inactive control panel on which PARA is
disabled will not change the state of the camera.
White balance link (master/subordinate mode)
The color temperature of light shining on the subject varies
moment by moment when you shoot outdoors. When
correcting for this, you can link the cameras within the system
and then control them. When you do this, set the camera that
is to be controlled directly to “Master,” and the cameras that
are to be linked to “Subordinate.”
When you change the white balance of the control panel to
which the master camera is connected, the subordinate
cameras are corrected by the same correction amount.
However, adjusting a subordinate camera does not affect any
of the other cameras.
The white balance link function is only enabled when there is
a connection to a CNU (LEGACY mode).
The functions that are available on the control panel may be
limited depending on the connected camera. Some controls
may not function with certain cameras, but this is not a
malfunction.

Mode
Set the control panel to MCS mode when using it in a multi-
camera system on a LAN. However, set the control panel to
LEGACY mode when connecting it to a CCU via a CCA cable
and connecting a LAN cable to that CCU. The mode to use
when connecting a LAN cable to the control panel and using a
CCA cable to connect to a CCU is MCS mode.
One device needs to be the master in MCS mode. The MSU
can be set as the master, but if there are multiple MSUs within
the system, set one MSU as the master and set the remaining
MSUs as clients.
To set the control panel to MCS mode, the TCP/IP, IP address
of the master device, and RCP number need to be set. The
RCP number corresponds to the camera selection number of
the MSU. Configure the setting so that there will not be a
duplicate within the system.

To perform RPN correction
The CCD image sensor is manufactured with high precision
technology. However, cosmic rays and other noise may affect
the pixels of the CCD image sensor, resulting in small white
dots appearing on the display. This is a physical characteristic
of CCD image sensors and is not a malfunction.
Performing auto black balance adjustment activates the
correction function, and may reduce the effects of this
phenomenon.
You can also perform correction manually to reduce the white
dots.

Protecting Saved Data
To prevent accidental erasure of important data, use the LOCK
switch on the “Memory Stick Duo.”
Slide the switch upward to the write protect position.
This ensures that you cannot inadvertently overwrite data on
the “Memory Stick Duo.”
If you are using a “Memory Stick Duo” that does not have a
LOCK switch, be careful not to inadvertently overwrite or erase
your data.
Precautions

labeling position.

anything, including your finger or metallic objects.

• To prevent data loss, make backups of data frequently. In no
event will Sony be liable for any loss of data.
