Fetileview
The Marshall RCP-PLUS is a professional camera controller designed for use in live video productions. Its features are optimized for use with Marshall’s popular miniature and compact cameras. A large 5” LCD user-friendly touchscreen provides quick selection of camera functions. Two high-precision rotary controls allow fine-tune adjustment of camera exposure, video levels, color balance and more. Camera adjustments can be made “live” without user menus appearing on screen. A variety of cameras may be connected via Ethernet and traditional serial RS485 at the same time.

Mohato oa 1. Press VISCA over RS485. The camera add page appears.

Mohato oa 2. Press Select Camera Model

Mohato oa 3. Select the camera model number that most closely matches the Marshall camera that is connected.

Bakeng sa mohlalaampLe: select CV36*/CV56* when using a CV368.

Hlokomela: Selecting Universal is only recommended for 3rd party products.
The RCP-PLUS can control only functions that exist in the attached camera even though that function may appear as a choice on the display.

Mohato oa 4. The RCP-PLUS assigns the first camera “Label” as 1. If the camera will be referred to as some other number during live production,the label on the button may be changed to a number or letter as desired. Press RCP Label, turn the left knob clockwise for numbers, counterclockwise for letters. Choose one. Next, press Camera ID, turn the right knob to set the ID number to match the ID number that is set in the camera. With Visca, each camera much have a unique ID number from 1 – 7.

Mohato oa 5. Press Select Output Format to set the desired camera output format and Frame Rate by making selections on the next page.

Mohato oa 6. Press Apply to make these changes active. The display will change to the White Balance page (WB is highlighted) and is ready for use.

Mohato oa 7. Assuming the camera is connected and powered, a quick check can be performed by pressing the OSD button, then press On. The camera’s on-screen menus should appear in the camera’s video output. Press On again once or twice to clear the menu display.
If this quick check worked, normal operation can begin by selecting the desired function from the right side of the screen (White Balance, Exposure, etc.). If the quick check did not work, check all connections,try having only one camera connected, check that the Visca ID # in the RCP-PLUS and the camera are the same, and try swapping + and – at one end of the cable.

If it is desired to assign a Static IP address to the RCP-PLUS controller, this can be accomplished in either of two ways:

Through the RCP-PLUS touch screen. This method would be chosen if it is not possible to access a computer that is on the local network. Setting a network address via the touch screen will require knob turning, button tapping and some patience.
Ka a web browser. If a network computer is available, this method is quicker as address numbers may simply be typed.

To use the touch screen, continue with the steps below.

On the touch screen, tap any blank square, tap Net, then tap the DHCP button so that it says DHCP OFF.

Mohato oa 2. Turn the Left Knob until the desired number appears. Turn the Right Knob again to move the arrow to the next 3 digits. When the desired address has been entered, press down on the Right Knob to complete the process. This is indicated by the numbers turning white and the border around the numbers being highlighted with a color.

Mohato oa 3. Now, turn the Right Knob again to select Netmask or Gateway. Repeat the process above to enter new values into those boxes. Press Net again to finish. This sets the new Static address as the Default address.

Assigning Cameras via IP

Now that the RCP-PLUS is connected to the local IP network (section 4.1 above), cameras can be assigned to control buttons and labeled.

Press and release an available square button (2 seconds). The camera add page will appear.
TAP the VISCA over IP button. The message “Searching Visca IP” will appear for a moment.

An IP address will appear in a window. When more than one IP camera is on the network, tap the address to see a list of all camera addresses.
Choose the address of the camera that is to be assigned by sliding up or down on the list to highlight the desired camera.
Tap Choose to select a camera or Cancel to start again.

Mohato oa 1. Press Select Camera Model

Tips and Best Practices for RS485 Connections

RCP-PLUS e etselitsoe ho sebetsa tlas'a maemo a mabe le ho ba bonolo ho e sebelisa. Lintlha tsa bohlokoa:

Lihokelo tse leka-lekaneng tse bonolo, tse nang le lithapo tse peli (joalo ka molumo o leka-lekaneng). terata e fatše ha e hlokehe.

Lisebelisoa tse ngata li ka hokelloa ka har'a lithapo tse tšoanang. Hangata ha ho na tlhoko ea li-hubs, li-repeaters tse sebetsang, joalo-joalo.
The preferred wire type is simple twisted pair. Doorbell wire, a pair inside CAT5/6 cable, etc.
Shielded wire is OK but attaching the shield at only one end is best practice. This is especially true when cameras are powered from a different source than the controller which could lead to AC current flowing through the shield.

Mohala oa sebui, terata ea AC ha e khothalletsoe ka lebaka la ho se sothehe. Ho sotha ho hana tšitiso e bang bohlokoa bakeng sa lithapo tse telele.
Le ha lisebelisoa tse ngata li ka hokeloa hang, ts'ebeliso ea protocol ea Visca e fokotsa palo ea lisebelisoa (likhamera) ho isa ho 7.
Hangata likhokahano tsa RS485 li ngotsoe “+” le “-“. Sena ha se bontše matla, ke polarity ea data feela kahoo ho bolokehile ho hokela lithapo morao, li ke ke tsa sebetsa ka tsela eo.

Lebaka le atileng haholo leo kh'amera e sa arabeng ho molaoli ke hore Visca ID # e ka har'a khamera ha e lumellane le ID ea Visca # e behiloeng ho molaoli.
The second most common reason is that the wire polarity is reversed. Some 3rd party cameras follow a + to – rule which can be confusing. This is why simply swapping the connections at one end of the wire is worth trying when an RS485 system does not work.

Haeba khamera e le 'ngoe e khoeleng e hoketsoe ka morao, e tla emisa lisebelisoa tsohle tse khoeleng ho buisana. Ho molemo ho etsa liteko ka k'hamera e le 'ngoe pele u hokela lik'hamera tse ling khoeleng.
