A Microprocessor-Based Camera Remote Control Unit

John A. Gray

In response to a survey of TK-47 automatic color camera users, RCA has developed a dual, self-contained “smart” remote control unit, called an SRCU. The unit relies heavily on software to meet varying user requirements. Some features are simultaneous, yet independent, control of two camera chains; file and recall of multiple banks of picture compositions; membrane-style switch panel; built-in self-diagnostics; and compatibility with the developing SMPTE/EBU serial control bus.
