Canon RC-IP100 Overview

Control your Canon PTZ cameras using IP or serial control with precision controls and a touchscreen display with the RC-IP100 Touchscreen PTZ Joystick Controller from Canon. The controller is compatible with the Canon CR-N300 and CR-N500 PTZ cameras and allows a single operator to control up to 100 cameras from a remote location. The 7" touchscreen provides configuration and camera settings control.

The IP100 is compatible with the proprietary Canon XC IP protocol, not a standard LAN, so you can create a private, secure network to control your cameras using the LAN port. It also features a second RJ45 port that allows you to control the cameras via RS-422 serial protocol. The bright 7" touchscreen allows you to control and configure up to 100 cameras and it can create and store up to 100 presets.

The precision joystick controls fine pan and tilt movements, and on the other side of the controller is a zoom rocker, providing an ergonomic layout to control pan, tilt, and zoom simultaneously with two hands. It also features four customizable buttons and knobs to make accessing settings and controls quick and easy. The DB-9 input/output port on the back allows you to monitor camera tally information. The unit is powered using a 12V barrel power adapter.

Key Features
Control up to 100 Canon-Supported Cameras
The RC-IP100 controller provides IP control for 99 supported Canon PTZ cameras utilizing Canon's new XC protocol. Additionally, through the serial port, the CR-N500, CR-N300, and other legacy PTZ cameras that support the NU protocol can be simultaneously controlled.
Smooth PTZ Movement and Precise Control for Professional Productions
It's easy to achieve smooth PTZ movements with the accuracy and responsiveness of the joystick equipped on the RC-IP100. Camera operators could be confident when making on-air movements with the responsiveness of the controller, creating an effective video production.
Adjust PTZ and Change Camera Function Settings Remotely
Control, adjust, and set Pan, Tilt, and Zoom functions smoothly, register up to 100 presets per camera, and manage trace movement, picture quality settings, and much more with the advanced RC-IP100. The trace function can store camera movements for instant recall with a push of a button. Furthermore, the controller covers a wide range of functionality and customization and is a superb option for supported Canon PTZ cameras.
7" Touchscreen, Joystick, Zoom Lever, and 4 Customizable Buttons
The RC-IP100 Controller is equipped with a joystick, zoom lever, and large 7" LCD touch panel for intuitive operation. There are also two User and four Function buttons that are programmable for even more customization.

Can multiple panels be used on the same group of cameras? Need more than one operator to control cameras.
Asked by: Chibi
Best way to have multiple operators on a multi-cam system is to assign a set number of cameras to one controller and a different set to another. Having multiple controllers with same camera set would undoubtedly create communication conflicts that would endanger integrity and ultimately not work completely.

Can we have multiple controllers on the same network controlling multiple PTZ cameras? eg. 2 controllers controlling 5 PTZ's?
Asked by: Mark
When controlling PTZ cameras via IP, you can use multiple Canon RC-IP100 Touchscreen PTZ Joystick Controllers on the same network to control the same cameras. Just note that it is recommended to only attempt to control one PTZ from one controller at a time to prevent any errors.
