Featured RCT Products
Advanced Pan Bar System FR-2 Fluid Remote
The FR-2 Fluid Remote pan bar system by RCT is a game-changer in remote camera control. This system allows operators to control PTZ cameras with the same precision as if they were handling a local camera. It supports up to ten PTZ cameras and is compatible with leading brands like Sony, Canon, and Panasonic.
Designed for ultra-low latency control over IP, the FR-2 is perfect for live events where real-time action tracking is crucial. It can be mounted on any fluid head, as it does not require encoders for motion capture.
Discover more about the FR-2 Fluid Remote on the RCT website.
MC-1 Motorized Column
The MC-1 motorized column, controlled over IP via the RCT CS-3 Control Surface and the FR-1 Fluid Remote, is tailored for PTZ cameras. It provides extremely slow and quiet motion, making it ideal for on-air or live streaming applications where noise and jarring movements must be minimized.
The MC-1 is unique with its PoE (20w) power supply, simplifying installation and deployment. Additionally, it supports the FreeD protocol, which allows it to send height data to virtual reality production systems such as Vizrt Viz Virtual Studio, Brainstorm, Ross UX XPERIENCE, and Zero Density.
