RCU Vlock

The RCU Vlock is a full hardware revision of the original RCU.

Control basic shading functions of your Sony Camera via your ATEM software of via the ATEM Camera Control Panel.

This unit converts SDI Data from a Blackmagic Design ATEM live production Switcher to Camera protocols of Sony, Panasonic and JVC. Supported cameras see list on the Right >

With this unit you can have basic CCU control of Broadcast cameras from the CCU control of a Blackmagic Design Atem video mixer.
This CCU control is build into the software of the Atem and normally controls the BMD Ursa and Studio camera's.
The box is powered by the Remote port of the camera.
1 SDI return video is needed from the Atem to the RCU box for the control data from the Atem. SDI loop out can be feed to a monitor for PGM return video for the camera operator.

The RCU Vlock now features an Oled and user interface to change settings in the device and choose between protocols. 
Based on feedback from multiple customers we designed a new version which is build around a Vlock housing and can be placed on the back of the camera in between the battery and camera.

Support for other protocols is in the works and Panasonic HPX / P2 protocol is worked on at the moment.
