Setting
Description
IP Address
Enter the required IP address (for example,192.169.040.101) to identify
the receiver on the network. When connecting the receiver to another
point, the same IP address must be used except the last subnet number
which can be any number between 0 to 254. This IP address must match
the subnet of the OCP/RCP. For a Sony RCP, the IP address is the same
as the Target Address with the RCP set to Bridge mode.
Network Mask
Enter the required subnet/network mask (for example, 255.255.255.0).
This must be the same as the RCP
’s subnet mask.
Gateway Address
Enter the required gateway address.
This must be the same as the RCP’s
gateway address and is the address of the router interface that is
connected to the network.
Network configuration notes
Both Sony RCP-1500 and GV OCP-400 require that the Real Freedom Receiver and the RCP/OCP are in
the same subnet and have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Sony RCPs require a Power Over Ethernet (POE) port on the Ethernet switch.
A Sony RCP-1500 requires that the RCP be set in Bridge mode and have the target address under Bridge
mode set to the IP address of the associated Real Freedom Receiver (in other words, receiver set to
192.168.40.101, RCP set to 192.168.40.201 and the Sony RCP target address set to 192.168.40.101).
Grass Valley (GV) OCPs are powered externally with a 4-pin XLR 12 V DC power supply and do not require
a POE Ethernet switch. You can, however, still use POE power with GV OCPs.
A GV OCP-400 just needs to be in the same subnet and set to Ethernet. The association between the
receiver and the OCP is achieved by an auto-discovery function when the camera number or the receiver
and the camera number of the OCP match.
When an RCP/OCP associates with a Real Freedom Receiver:
•
The third icon (RCP) in the top right of the Real Freedom Receiver screen is green.
•
page (displayed when the RCP icon is selected) reports the IP
address of the RCP/OCP and shows
‘Connected’ next to RCP Status.
Camera control settings
You need to specify the camera control frequency, camera type and camera number using the
Camera Ctrl
configuration option. You should also check the other settings to ensure that they are correct for the camera
that you wish to control via the data transmitter.
NOTE:
Select a BSI camera type to remotely-control the transmitter from the receiver. When
under ‘BSI control’, the receiver is the ‘master’ and the ‘transmitter’ the slave. If the system is not
under ‘BSI control’, the transmitter parameters can be set independently to those on the receiver.
From the main menu, select
Camera
Ctrl
and configure as follows.
Table 8: Camera control settings
Setting
Description
Camera Ctrl Transmitter
Enables or disable the data stream from the RCP.
If you select ‘Disable’, no data passes from the RCP to the data
transmitter(s) connected to the system.
Throttle
Defines how often data is sent out.
Note that this setting only applies to legacy BSI equipment which cannot
cope with the full packet rate.
‘Off’ is the default. Use ‘1/2’ for legacy BSI
data receivers, for example, HDDR.
