Overview

The Sony RM-IP10 is an IP remote control panel for BRC PTZ cameras. It controls up to 112 cameras over an IP network, or up to 7 over a traditional VISCA network, and up to five panels can share control of one system. Its RJ-45 connection, supplied PC configuration software and simultaneous preset recall suit university lecture halls, ministry boardrooms and multi-camera conference rooms across Qatar.

What the RM-IP10 controls

The RM-IP10 is a dedicated hardware controller for Sony BRC pan-tilt-zoom cameras. Instead of driving each camera from a computer, an operator uses the joystick, the zoom ring and the assignable functions to frame shots and recall stored positions. Its main strength is scale: over an IP network one panel manages up to 112 BRC cameras, and over a traditional VISCA network it manages up to 7.

Network, serial and power connections

The panel joins the network through a standard RJ-45 connector that detects 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX automatically, so it can be patched into an existing Ethernet switch. For older equipment it also provides a VISCA RS-232C mini DIN 8-pin output, a VISCA RS-422 9-pin connector and a 9-pin Tally In/Contact Out port. Serial communication runs at 9,600 or 38,400 bps. The unit takes 12 V DC (10.8 to 13.2 V) and draws up to 0.3 A, or 3.6 W, through a JEITA type 4 connector. An AC power adapter and AC power cord are included.

Compatibility with older cameras

Some cameras need an add-on before they can be controlled. Control of BRC-H900 and older BRC-Z330 models requires the BRBK-IP10 camera option board. The BRC-Z700 is controlled when it is fitted with the BRBK-IP7Z option board. Check each camera model and its installed options before ordering, particularly when extending an existing system.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three realistic scenarios show how the panel is used:

University lecture theatre in Education City: an operator at a fixed desk controls several cameras covering the stage, the whiteboard and the audience, and recalls a saved set of positions for each speaker.
Ministry boardroom in Doha: the technical team sets up camera positions once, then the panel recalls them for every meeting. Up to five panels can share control of the system.
Hotel conference centre in West Bay: a multi-camera setup for hybrid events, where a second operator runs the system from a separate control point on the same network.

What to plan before installation

Plan IP addresses and camera numbering before connecting the panel. The supplied PC configuration software sets the system IPs and BRC camera numbers, so the network team should reserve addresses in advance. The panel measures 391.3 mm wide, 165 mm high and 145.9 mm deep, and weighs approximately 950 g, so allow desk or control-room space close to a power socket. Its operating range is 0 to 40 °C and its storage range is -20 to 60 °C. Summer temperatures in Qatar go above 45 °C, so keep the panel in an air-conditioned control room rather than an unventilated cabinet or booth. SmartRooms Qatar offers free site surveys to confirm the layout before you order.

Questions about RM-IP10

What is the Sony RM-IP10 used for, and who needs it?

The RM-IP10 is a hardware remote control panel that operates Sony BRC cameras from a fixed desk without a computer. It controls up to 112 cameras over an IP network, or up to 7 over a traditional VISCA network. It suits control rooms in lecture theatres, boardrooms and multi-camera conference facilities in Doha and beyond, where operators need to frame shots and recall saved positions quickly.

How many cameras can one RM-IP10 control?

Over an IP network, one RM-IP10 controls up to 112 BRC cameras. Over a traditional VISCA network, it controls up to 7 BRC cameras. The panel supports VISCA over IP, RS-422 and RS-232C control protocols, which can be switched. Before you request a quote, review your network design and camera count with the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the right setup.

Can more than one panel control the same camera system?

Yes. Up to five RM-IP10 control panels can be used on a single network, allowing shared control and simultaneous operation by several people on large camera systems. For example, an operator following a lecture from the stage can use one panel, while a technician in a separate room of the same building runs the cameras from another panel on the same network.

Do BRC-H900 or BRC-Z330 cameras work with the RM-IP10 without any extra parts?

No, not without an add-on. Control of BRC-H900 and older BRC-Z330 models requires the BRBK-IP10 camera option board. When a school or ministry upgrades existing cameras, include these boards in your request so the panel can control every unit on the network. Confirm the camera models on site before the quotation is finalised.

What about the BRC-Z700?

The BRC-Z700 is controlled by the RM-IP10 when it is fitted with the BRBK-IP7Z option board. Make a list of every camera model in the system and its installed options, then send it to SmartRooms Qatar with your quotation request. This avoids surprises at installation, especially in buildings where cameras have been in service for several years.

How is the panel connected to the network, and what needs setting up first?

The panel connects through a standard RJ-45 connector and detects 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX automatically. The supplied PC configuration software sets the system IP addresses and BRC camera numbers. Your IT team should reserve these addresses before installation to avoid conflicts with other devices on the network.

What is included in the package?

The package includes operating instructions, a SONY AC power adapter, an AC power cord, a CD-ROM with the PC configuration software, and two RS-422 connector plugs supplied with the unit. Check the adapter and cord against your local socket arrangement before installation, so the panel is ready to commission on the day it arrives.

What power does the panel need, and is it suitable for Qatar mains?

The panel is rated at 12 V DC (10.8 to 13.2 V DC), drawing up to 0.3 A or 3.6 W, through a JEITA type 4 DC connector. The supplied AC adapter provides this supply, but the manufacturer data does not state the adapter's input voltage range. Confirm it suits Qatar mains of 240 V, 50 Hz with BS 1363 (Type G) sockets before you place your order.

Can the RM-IP10 be installed in a hot room or outdoors?

Do not install it outdoors or in an unventilated space. The operating range is 0 to 40 °C, and storage is -20 to 60 °C. Summer temperatures in Qatar exceed 45 °C, so use an air-conditioned control room or lectern. Ask SmartRooms Qatar to confirm the location during the free site survey.

Does the panel have a display or a security lock?

The panel has no display, so camera status is not shown on the unit itself. It also has no Kensington lock hole. Zoom is controlled by a ring on the joystick. In shared or public-facing areas, such as a hotel conference room, choose a secure location for the panel because it has no built-in lock.

Which image settings can be adjusted from the panel?

The panel gives direct control over R and B gain, R and B black levels, iris value, gain value and shutter speed, and it can toggle backlight compensation. Some of these functions need multiple button or DIP switch operations. Make sure the technical operator is familiar with the panel before using it during live events.

How do I request a quote, and can it be used for a government tender?

Request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar with the camera models and quantities you need. Quotations are usually issued within one working day. We deliver to all eight municipalities of Qatar and accept purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders, including Monaqasat. Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or purchase order.
