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.
Overview
Features
The RCP-920/921 Remote Control Panel is designed for 
remote control of the BVP/HDC series Color Video 
Camera via the CCU/HDCU Camera Control Unit. This 
panel is connected to the CCU/HDCU Camera Control 
Unit (or the CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit, 
which is connected to the CCU/HDCU) by a dedicated 
cable of up to 200 m (656 feet) in length and controls the 
camera functions which are used most frequently in basic 
applications from a distance.
The RCP-920 and RCP-921 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-920 
uses a joystick type control while the RCP-921 uses rotary 
knobs.
The principal features of the RCP-920/921 are as follows.
Optimized control arrangement for basic camera 
operation
This remote control panel is provided with essential 
control functions for basic operation of a BVP/HDC-
series 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.
Auto setup control
The RCP-920/921 has built-in microcomputers that 
reliably perform automatic setup for the majority of the 
control items. The various items can be automatically 
adjusted independently or in combination.
Scene file control
Using the paint menu, camera adjustment data for a 
particular scene can be stored in the video camera as a 
scene file. Up to five such files can be stored. This allows 
quick adaptation to various shooting conditions simply by 
calling up a scene file.
