14.10. Wireless Remote Control WRC‑2

The WRC-2 is a modern and user-friendly remote
control and program unit for all new-generation
ARRIFLEX and ARRICAM cameras. It combines
the functionality of the RCU-1 and WRC-1. Beyond
that, the WRC-2 provides unique new features and
due to the touch screen user interface, remote
controlling a camera was never faster and easier.

The range of functions is automatically adapted
to the attached camera. Since the functionality
of the unit is software based and therefore
expandable, the WRC-2 is the most flexible
remote control unit ARRI has ever provided.

The WRC-2 enables the user to remotely control the
camera speed, the shutter angle of the mirror shutter and
the aperture of the lens (iris) when used together with
FEM-2 and a CLM-1 or CLM-2 motor, providing a wide
range of compensation options for constant exposure.

Note: More information on variable speeds/ramping can

be found in the glossary in chapter 17: Appendix.

Note: For more information and operation instructions,

see chapter 13: FEM-2 and the WRC-2 manual.
