Camera Operations

Camera control permissions (panel active,
PARA, and IRIS/MB active)
By combining an MSU and RCP units, you can operate one
camera device from multiple control panels, or multiple
cameras from one MSU. This is called a "multi-camera
system." A multi-camera system can be implemented by
establishing a LAN connection in MCS mode.
To prevent unintentional operation in a multi-camera system,
permission is granted to operate the cameras for either the
connected MSU or RCP only. There are three types of
permission.
Panel active
Even if multiple control panels are connected to one camera,
only one control panel has the control permission. This panel
is referred to as "active." A control panel that does not have
panel active can only be used to display the status.
PARA (parallel control)
By enabling the PARA function on a control panel that does not
have panel active, you can control cameras. The PARA
function is enabled from a control panel that does not have
panel active, but can be disabled from any control panel.
IRIS/MB (iris/master black) active
To prevent unintentional operation of the iris and master black,
you can choose the control panels on which to activate iris and
master black control. The PARA function does not operate.
Operation on a control panel on which panel active and PARA
are disabled will not change the state of the camera.
