The Cyanview RCP can control all types of Canon cameras. First check how your camera connects, then go to the page for your model.

Connection Overview​

The Cyanview RCP can control Canon cameras over:

  • IP — using the XC protocol
  • Remote-A (2.5mm TRS jack) — supported by most older cameras
  • USB — Canon R5 only
note

Remote B is not supported, as these cameras also have the Remote-A connector and the functions are identical.

IP Control: PTZ Cameras​

All Canon PTZ cameras except the CR-X500 are controlled over IP using the XC protocol. The Canon PTZ controller can be used at the same time as Cyanview RCPs. See CR-N/X PTZ for details.

Checking Compatibility​

  1. Go to your camera's page on the Canon website
  2. Click on "Specifications"
  3. Scroll to "IP Streaming & Control"
  4. Look for "Canon XC Protocol supported" in that block

Also, if your camera is compatible with the RCV-100, it is compatible with the Cyanview RCP, except that the Cyanview RCP controls the cameras over IP and can control multiple cameras at the same time.

For example, for the C200 you will find this block:
