Datavideo RMC-180 Overview
Use the Datavideo RMC-180 Mark II PTZ Camera Controller to adjust focus, iris, zoom, and other settings of up to four PTZ cameras via RS-422 and VISCA protocols in live event or conference applications. A main joystick along with multiple knobs and buttons allows for easy setup and control of connected cameras through four RJ45 inputs.

Four shortcut keys per camera can be programmed as position presets for effects such as close-ups and wide shots.

Plug-and-Play Interface
Connect your compatible PTZ cameras to the RMC-180 via four RJ45 inputs on the rear panel. The ports follow RS-422 interface standards and are compatible with any RJ45 cable. The unit also supports VISCA protocols. Control status can be monitored via the monochrome display, and firmware updates can be performed through the USB-A port.

Multicamera Control
An ergonomic joystick and tactile button layout enable easy setup and control of up to four Datavideo PTZ cameras and robotic pan/tilt heads in any live production environment.

Camera Position Presets
Shortcut keys on the RMC-180 control panel allow saving up to four preset positions per connected camera (up to eight presets if only two cameras are connected). Program close-ups and wide shots, and recall them with the press of a button.

Manual Controls
Manually control each camera’s focus and iris using the built-in dials. Other manual adjustments include pan, tilt, zoom, gain, and OSD functions on specific models. Commands are transmitted via Cat 5/6 cable.

Speed Mode
The controller allows PTZ cameras to move at slow, medium, and fast speeds. Select movement speed using quick-access buttons to match the pace of your event.

Tally Light Support
A DB-15 tally input port on the unit enables compatibility with Datavideo switchers and camera tally indicator systems. Two different modes—tally user and tally input—can be used to suit your workflow.

PTR-10 Control with Presets
The same four presets per camera can be used to control the PTR-10 robotic pan/tilt head. Iris and focus control also extend to the camera mounted on the head.
