Canon RC-IP1000 Advanced PTZ Joystick Controller

The Canon RC-IP1000 Advanced PTZ Controller is a professional-grade controller designed for smooth operation of multiple PTZ cameras. With a newly developed control interface featuring 42 buttons and 14 dials, the RC-IP1000 offers intuitive control with assignable buttons, programmable trace operation, and adjustable speed and response controls. The 7-inch touch panel provides a clear view of operation menus, live camera feeds, and allows for touch autofocus. It is ideal for large multi-camera productions where precise control of up to 200 cameras is required.

The RC-IP1000 features a 7-inch touch screen that provides clear visibility and touchscreen control. It allows for intuitive camera operation through a variety of features including: touch autofocus, Canon auto tracking capabilities, multi-camera display (up to 9 cameras), live video monitoring, camera setting and status control, and preset/trace route thumbnail images.

For additional functionality, the RC-IP1000 offers Waveform and Vectorscope displays, Dual Pixel Focus Guide, assignable buttons, dials with adjustable speeds, pan-tilt adjustment, and a multi-preset function. It also provides 4K 60P video input/output via 12G-SDI, IP image input, and HDMI output.

The Canon RC-IP1000 simplifies camera control by allowing access to the camera OSD menu from compatible cameras. It also enables control of multiple cameras with the same movements and settings. The RC-IP1000 supports Canon's XC Protocol over IP for one-to-many control of up to 200 cameras. It also integrates with Canon's in-camera Add-On Applications, such as Auto Tracking and Auto Loop.

The RC-IP1000 allows for synchronization with a switcher using SDI/GPIO. This enables camera selection on the switcher to match the camera selection on the controller. The controller can also display the program video shooting camera button in red and the preview video shooting camera button in green.
