19 Remote Control Unit RCU-4
The camera can be remotely controlled with an RCU-4. This device
mirrors the controls on the camera's right side. It is connected to the
camera's Ethernet port. Power is supplied via the Ethernet cable.
Note: The ALEXA M features two ports labeled "ETH" in addition to the Ethernet
port, one at the head and one at the body. These cannot be used for connecting
an RCU-4, however, but are for service purposes only.
To power the RCU-4, connect it to a camera, make sure the camera is
powered up, and press the power button.
During boot-up, the RCU-4 compares its firmware version with the
camera firmware version. If it detects a difference, it will update itself to
match the camera's firmware version. When the update is completed,
the RCU-4 will shut down automatically.
The power button of the RCU-4 only affects the RCU-4. It is not possible
to power or to shut down the camera with the RCU-4. When the camera
is powered down, the RCU-4 shuts down automatically as it loses its
power supply.
The LOCK button of the RCU-4 locks only the RCU-4. It does not affect
the camera lock.
For more information, please refer to the RCU-4 user manual.
