Compatible with the Canon Cinema EOS line of cameras (C500, C300, and C100) as well as Canon's XF-series of professional camcorders, the new RC-V100 Remote Controller is designed to respond to a diverse array of production needs requiring remote camera operation. The RC-V100 Remote Controller enables users to remotely control a wide variety of functions built into the cameras, as well as adjust and set various controls, such as exposure and white balance. The RC-V100 is powered from the connected camcorder via a 15-foot (five meter) cable and a USB port enables the units firmware to be updated to support future remote-control functions.
The remote is ideal when capturing footage at sporting events, houses of worship, or any application that requires a camera mounted on a crane. In addition to basic controls – start/stop, shutter/gain adjustments, zoom/focus/iris parameters, custom picture values, white balance, black gamma and more – the new remote can be used to adjust various menu settings. It also features illuminated push buttons with audible feedback to confirm each setting change. A SETUP mode lets users customize a number of key rotary controls as well as user procedures and operating modes.
