Power with either PoE+ or 12V DC
The RC-IP1000 embraces the convenience of PoE+, enabling power, control, and video feed into a single cable*. This standard not only facilitates power supply through the LAN cable, eliminating the need for a separate power setup or cable, but also significantly reduces wiring complexities during installation, contributing to cost-effective and efficient setup. Moreover, the controller seamlessly integrates with a 12V DC power connector, offering a versatile array of power source options.

*When using power supply via PoE+, either the touch panel/LED lamp brightness is limited, or the use of USB ports is limited (selectable in settings).

Switcher Link via SDI/GPIO
The RC-IP1000 can be connected to a switcher using SDI/GPIO, enabling synchronization of switcher video selection with controller camera selection. And by synching the switcher tally status with the controller, the program video shooting camera button can be shown in red, and the preview video shooting camera button can be shown in green.

Add-On Application Support

If you are using one of the Add-On Applications, such as Auto Tracking or Auto Loop, the RC-IP1000 becomes an invaluable tool for functions like precise setting adjustments and refined operational tuning.

The Auto Tracking Application elevates the remote PTZ camera experience, enabling automatic tracking of speakers or other specified individuals during diverse events such as commercial presentations and lectures. Settings such as auto tracking start/stop, display size of the tracking subject, auto zoom function, tracking sensitivity, and auto select of tracking subject can be selected from the menu.

With the Auto Loop Application, it ensures a seamless experience by automating regular PTZ movements, enabling operators to focus on switching and main camera framing. Users have the flexibility to set auto loop start/stop, route number, loop movement, and loop direction directly from the RC-IP1000 menu.
