Canon RC-IP100 PTZ Controller

The RC-IP100 is Canon's compact touchscreen joystick controller for running a rig of PTZ cameras from one operator position. A multi-function joystick handles pan and tilt with the fine, repeatable feel a live show needs, while a control grip on top of the stick drives zoom, focus, and iris and a separate zoom rocker gives smooth wide-to-tele moves. The 7-inch touch screen lets you jump between cameras and reach focus, white balance, and shutter settings without menu-diving.

It operates up to 100 Canon supported cameras, 99 over an IP network plus one over serial, so a single desk can cover a house of worship, a lecture hall, or a broadcast studio. Two user buttons and four function buttons are programmable for the shots and settings you reach for most, and 100 presets are on tap for recall. The unit runs on 12 VDC from the supplied AC adapter and connects over LAN and serial. Canon part number 5231C004.
