At Integrated Systems Europe ISE 2025, CyanView showcased its universal Remote Control Panel (RCP), designed to provide seamless camera shading across a diverse range of camera brands and models. This flexibility allows operators to adjust color settings, exposure, and other parameters in real-time, ensuring consistent image quality across various broadcasting environments. The RCP’s design emphasizes versatility, enabling control over multiple cameras from a single panel, regardless of the manufacturer’s proprietary control systems.

A standout feature of the CyanView RCP is its ability to interface with cameras over IP networks. By connecting via an RJ45 port, operators can manage cameras remotely, whether through wired networks or wireless configurations. This IP-based control extends to various camera types, including compact models like the Blackmagic URSA with large lenses and mini cameras such as the Proton series. The RCP’s adaptability ensures that both high-end studio cameras and portable units can be integrated into a unified control system.
To accommodate cameras requiring different control protocols, CyanView offers the RIO module. This device acts as a bridge, converting IP signals from the RCP into formats compatible with specific cameras, such as serial data or USB. For instance, certain cameras necessitate RS232 control, which the RIO module facilitates by translating IP commands accordingly. This modular approach ensures that a wide array of cameras, including those lacking native IP control capabilities, can be effectively managed within the CyanView ecosystem.
The RCP’s user interface is designed for intuitive operation, featuring a touchscreen display and physical controls that grant immediate access to essential camera settings. Operators can adjust parameters like gain, white balance, and iris control with precision, ensuring optimal image quality in dynamic shooting environments. The system also supports scene file management, allowing users to save and recall specific camera setups efficiently. This functionality is particularly beneficial in live production scenarios where rapid changes are required.
CyanView’s commitment to versatility is further demonstrated by the RCP’s compatibility with a broad spectrum of camera brands and models. Whether integrating specialty cameras, camcorders, PTZ units, or digital cinema cameras, the RCP provides a cohesive control solution. This brand-agnostic approach empowers production teams to select the most suitable equipment for their projects without being constrained by control system limitations. The RCP’s ability to manage an unlimited number of cameras from a single interface streamlines operations and enhances workflow efficiency.
In addition to camera control, the CyanView system offers integrated management of lenses and other peripherals. The RIO module enables control over motorized lenses, facilitating adjustments to focus, zoom, and iris settings directly from the RCP. This integration ensures that operators have comprehensive control over both camera and lens parameters, leading to a more streamlined and cohesive production process. The system’s flexibility also allows for the incorporation of external color correctors and tally systems, further enhancing its utility in complex broadcasting setups.
CyanView’s RCP is engineered with modern broadcasting workflows in mind, supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified cabling and installation. The device’s compact design makes it suitable for various operational environments, including outside broadcast trucks and studio control rooms. Its integration capabilities extend to router systems, enabling automatic preview switching and seamless coordination with other production equipment. This holistic approach to system design ensures that the RCP can serve as a central hub for camera control in diverse production scenarios.
With over a decade of experience, CyanView continues to innovate in the field of camera control technology. The company’s focus on developing solutions that bridge the gap between different camera systems has positioned it as a valuable resource for broadcasters and production companies worldwide. By providing tools that enhance operational flexibility and efficiency, CyanView contributes to the advancement of high-quality content creation across the media industry.
