With a paid Pro License, connectivity is expanded from Canon/SKAARHOJ devices to allow integration with other third-party cameras, giving users endless amount of choice and guaranteed compatibility when thinking about which camera to use alongside this PTZ.
Compatibility: The SKAARHOJ RC-SK5 is fully compatible with Canon XC Protocol, with physical buttons/dials to control Focus, Iris, WB, Gain, PT Speed, Zoom Speed, Presets and more.
Affordability and usage: This controller is perfect for the mid end customer base. It can be used with Canon cameras but also other brand cameras when upgraded with a Pro License.
The ergonomic design of the SKAARHOJ RC-SK5 joystick delivers a responsive link to each camera, bringing intuitive control and precision. Alongside the LCD screen, there are dedicated physical buttons for Iris, Focus, R and B gain, Master and Pedestal - allowing a satisfyingly tactile control over your PTZ cameras.
Why use it over other PTZ models?
The SKAARHOJ RC-SK5, designed by SKAARHOJ, is an industry favourite. It’s customisable buttons and ergonomic joystick, give it that extra edge over its counterparts. Not only this but with an additional paid licence via SKAARHOJ, customers can also control 3rd party cameras. If part of a multi-camera set-up, then the controller can also control these.
What setup is this PTZ most suitable for?
Whilst the RC-IP1000 is most suitable for TV studios and live music concerts, the SKAARHOJ RC-SK5 is best suited for broadcast marketing on a smaller scale, anything from small studios to corporate events and everything in between. Consider the SKAARHOJ RC-SK5 alongside the RC-IP100 - depending on your preference, the former offers more physical buttons and the latter offers a touch-panel-based design.
