Shade RED KOMODO w. RCP Pro

What to expect

RCP Pro allows RED KOMODO to integrate in traditional broadcast live production workflows. The RCP Pro form factor fits right into most control rooms and OB trucks. RCP Pro can control the parameters you know from the KOMODO's web interface, including color control parameters, white balance, shutter speed, audio settings etc. of this amazing camera.

If the lens connects electrically to the RED KOMODO camera, RCP Pro can control iris, zoom and focus directly via the camera. Other lenses will require parallel control via analog or serial signals and RCP Pro supports this seamlessly via Blue Pill Extension cables. Recording to local media can be toggled remotely from the RCP. Most workflows will prefer a single RCP per camera, but RCP Pro natively supports up to 8 cameras in the built-in camera selector. This integration is actively supported and suggested by RED.

 
Technical Notes

The camera can be accessed via Wifi or with cabled ethernet connectivity (optional RED accessory). SKAARHOJ always recommends cabled workflows. RCP Pro has a 1G Ethernet port with PoE enabled for a single cable connection. Alternatively to PoE, you can power RCP Pro with 12V DC. RCP Pro consumes up to 5W. See full product specs on our website.
