RM-IP500 PTZ Camera Remote Controller

The Sony RM-IP500 is a compact remote controller featuring a high-quality joystick that allows effortless one-handed pan, tilt, and zoom adjustments of compatible Sony PTZ remote cameras. Zoom can also be controlled via the joystick or a supplementary seesaw lever, with dedicated knobs and control buttons simplifying direct access to frequently needed camera functions. The RM-IP500 simplifies the building of cost-effective multi-camera content creation systems with a wide range of applications – from live events to conference halls, broadcast studios, education institutes, and houses of worship.

Comprehensive Camera Control and Management

PTZ speed can be adjusted from slow to fast for more polished, professional-looking results. Up to 100 combinations of camera angles and settings can be stored as presets. Trace Memory allows a sequence of camera moves to be stored and recalled whenever required. Up to 100 compatible Sony BRC/SRG Series and ILME-FR7 PTZ remote cameras can be controlled over a standard IP network. Setup is simple: the controller automatically assigns IP addresses to connected Sony PTZ cameras on the network, also assigning a camera number to each.

Advanced Paint Control and Versatile Connectivity

The RM-IP500 allows adjustment of color-related settings – including black levels, white balance, flicker cancel, detail level, knee point, auto exposure level, iris, gain, and shutter speed – directly without needing to use camera menus. The controller supports both VISCA over IP and VISCA RS-422 control protocols. Up to 5 RM-IP500 control panels can be used on a single network for shared control and simultaneous multi-operator control of large camera systems. The RM-IP500 also pairs perfectly with the ILME-FR7 full-frame PTZ cinema line camera, with a dedicated panel sheet included in the carton for optimum operating efficiency.
