General Description:
The WRC-2 is a modern and user friendly remote-
control and program unit for all new-generation
ARRIFLEX and ARRICAM cameras. It combines the
functionality of the RCU-1 and WRC-1. Beyond that,
the WRC-2 provides unique new features and due to
the touchscreen user interface, remote controlling a
camera was never faster and easier.
The range of functions is automatically adapted to
the attached camera. Since the functionality of the
WRC-2 is software based and therefore expandable,
we are looking on the most exible Remote Control
Unit, ARRI has ever provided.
Setups:
In the standard version, the WRC-2 enables the user
to remotely control
- the camera speed
- the shutter angle of the mirror shutter
providing a wide range of compensation options for
constant exposure via an easy an intuitive to use
software.
Automatic xposure Calculation:
Furthermore the WRC-2 automatically calculates the
correct exposure value for given ramps (speed, iris
or shutter) based on the measurements made by the
DOP on the set. This is a new and unique feature, only
available through the WRC-2. The complete ramp
data can now easily be entered in the clear arranged
Ramp Menu, guiding the user through the sometimes
very complex process of programming a ramp. Thus,
the WRC-2 is a very powerful tool that saves time
and provides a new level of exposure-safety and
precision.
Simulator Software:
To make yourself familiar with the unit before using it
on the lmset, we offer a WRC-2 simulator software,
that can be downloaded via our website.
Upload new Software Modules:
New released software modules or software updates
can be uploaded just by connecting an USB stick to
the WRC-2 mini-USB port.
