Network configuration notes

Both Sony RCP-1500 and GV OCP-400 require that the Real Freedom Receiver and the RCP/OCP are in the same subnet and have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Sony RCPs require a Power Over Ethernet (POE) port on the Ethernet switch.

A Sony RCP-1500 requires that the RCP be set in Bridge mode and have the target address under Bridge mode set to the IP address of the associated Real Freedom Receiver (in other words, receiver set to 192.168.40.101, RCP set to 192.168.40.201 and the Sony RCP target address set to 192.168.40.101).

Grass Valley (GV) OCPs are powered externally with a 4-pin XLR 12 V DC power supply and do not require a POE Ethernet switch. You can, however, still use POE power with GV OCPs.

A GV OCP-400 just needs to be in the same subnet and set to Ethernet. The association between the receiver and the OCP is achieved by an auto-discovery function when the camera number or the receiver and the camera number of the OCP match.

When an RCP/OCP associates with a Real Freedom Receiver:

The third icon (RCP) in the top right of the Real Freedom Receiver screen is green.
The Camera Ctrl Peripheral Status page (displayed when the RCP icon is selected) reports the IP address of the RCP/OCP and shows ‘Connected’ next to RCP Status.
