A wireless rcp system is necessary if you want to control rcp-parameters and tally of a wireless camera. You can simply build a wireless rcp on your own with our rcp-bridge in combination with a wifi-bridge and a rcp.

It is easy to configure a bigger value of rcp-bridges if you plan to use a multiple-camera-setup. One single ip-cable is enough to connect multiple rcp-bridges between ob-van and the event room. You can even use existing ip-infrastructure and existing wifi.

If you want to use a wifi-bridge, for example to control a wireless camera, you can use the dc-out-connector on the rcp-lan-module to power the wlan bridge via poe (for example the airgateway of Ubiquiti). If you once get out of range, a flashing call-command will instantly be sent to the camera and the rcp. So the camera-operator and the engineer recognize, that no more telemetry is available at that specific place. As soon the signal is valid again, normal data-flow is available instantly.

No external power is needed, because our rcp-bridge is powered by the camera with only one 8-pin-remote-connector. The rcp-bridge-modules are identical for camera and rcp, so you can swap them without a problem. The rcp-bridge-modules have three connectors – a 8-pin-remote-connector, an ethernet-connector and a dc-connector. If you plug the rcp-bridge-modules to the 8-pin-remote-connector of a camera, the dc-connector converts to a dc-out-connector that can be used to power up a wifi-station. The power is provided via the cameras 8-pin-remote-connector and has the same voltage as the cameras system-power. If you plug the rcp-bridge-modules to the 8-pin-remote-connector of a rcp the dc-connector converts to a dc-in-connector. A rcp needs external power, so you simply can connect a power-supply to the dc-in-connector of the rcp-bridge-modules.

If you want to use multiple rcp-camera-systems, you only need one ethernet-line from ob-van to the event room. In the event room you can either plug a wifi-access-point or a bond of wifi-access-points, or use a simple network switch to split ethernet-lines to connect them to the different camera positions.
