THE SHOOT.
Why it exists
The CC-S700 solves a problem that every camera shader in outside broadcast has encountered. Camera positions are spread across a venue, shading control needs to reach all of them, and running dedicated control cable to each position adds hours to the rig. The CC-S700 removes that requirement by carrying the complete Sony 700 protocol wirelessly - so your shader sits at the RCP and works exactly as they would over a cabled return, without the cable.
This is a system built for real broadcast environments, not demo room conditions. The dual-frequency design, the AES encryption, and the Sony 700 protocol compliance exist because broadcast engineers have specific requirements that generic wireless solutions don't meet. The CC-S700 meets all of them.
How the CC-S700 works
The camera connects to the CC-S700 transmitter via 6-pin LEMO interface. The RCP panel connects to the receiver via Sony 8-pin remote connector or RJ45. Between those two endpoints, the CC-S700 carries the complete Sony 700 control protocol using FHSS modulation. Your shader's adjustments - iris, paint, master black, detail, knee, all shading parameters - travel wirelessly from the RCP panel to the camera and take effect with no perceptible delay. The system is bidirectional, so camera status information travels back to the shader's panel just as it would over a cabled connection.

RF planning
Dual-Frequency Operation
The CC-S700 operates on 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz. This is not a minor detail - it is one of the defining practical advantages of the system on large-venue outside broadcast.
At major sports venues and concert arenas, 2.4 GHz spectrum is under constant pressure. Wi-Fi infrastructure, streaming devices, Bluetooth systems, production comms, and other wireless equipment all compete for the same frequency space. In those conditions, a wireless control system running solely on 2.4 GHz is vulnerable to interference that disrupts shading control at the worst possible moments.
900 MHz occupies a different part of the spectrum that is significantly less congested in most broadcast environments. It also travels through walls, concrete, and temporary structures more effectively than 2.4 GHz, which matters when your camera position is inside a tunnel, behind a hoarding, or on the far side of a steel structure from the control room. When your RF coordinator determines that 2.4 GHz is under pressure, switching the CC-S700 to 900 MHz maintains a reliable control link without changing anything at the camera or RCP end.
Security
AES Encryption
All Sony 700 protocol data transmitted by the CC-S700 is encrypted with AES. For live sports, pre-release productions, and any broadcast where your camera feeds carry commercially sensitive or rights-protected content, this ensures that shading commands and camera status data cannot be intercepted by third parties sharing the same venue.
Compatibility
RCP Compatibility
The CC-S700 supports Sony RCP-1500 and RCP-3500 series panels. Connection is via Sony 8-pin remote or RJ45 at the receiver end. Plug and play installation means your engineering team can have the system operational in minutes without specialist configuration. TX power reaches up to 30 dBm, and the system's 80-gram form factor at 7.5 to 36V supply means it integrates into any broadcast rig without modification.
Getting started
How WaveHire Handles Your Hire
Every CC-S700 hire is tested by a technician on a live Sony camera-control link before dispatch. We verify complete Sony 700 protocol handshake, confirm full shading response across all control parameters, and test wireless stability on both frequency bands. The unit ships ready to connect to your camera and RCP panel. You collect from our London facility with same-day collection available, or we arrange delivery. At the end of your hire, the unit returns for re-test and re-prep.
If you also need IP network access at the same camera position alongside Sony control, the CC-LINK COMBO at £135/day handles both on one link. If you only need wireless IP data without Sony control, the CC-LINK IP handles that function on its own, or contact our team to talk through your build.
Questions
FAQs - CC-S700
The CC-S700 supports any Sony broadcast camera using the Sony 700 control protocol via 6-pin LEMO camera-control interface. This covers the majority of Sony's professional broadcast camera range used in studio and outside broadcast environments including ENG, drama, sports, and live event production.
The CC-S700 is designed for Sony RCP-1500 and RCP-3500 series remote control panels. It connects via Sony 8-pin remote connector or RJ45, and supports full shading, paint, and iris control operations with complete Sony 700 protocol fidelity.
In congested RF environments such as sports stadiums and large concert venues, 2.4 GHz can be crowded with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other production wireless systems. 900 MHz occupies cleaner spectrum in most broadcast environments and penetrates walls, concrete, and temporary structures more effectively. Switching to 900 MHz maintains a reliable shading control link when 2.4 GHz is under pressure.
Yes. The CC-S700 uses AES encryption for all Sony 700 protocol data. Shading commands and camera status information are protected from interception, which is important in multi-production environments and for productions where content has commercial rights protection.
The CC-S700 is plug and play. Connect the camera via 6-pin LEMO, connect the RCP panel via Sony 8-pin or RJ45, power both units, and the link establishes automatically. Most engineering teams have the system fully operational within minutes of connecting cables.
Rated at 1 km line-of-sight. In typical OB environments with stadium structures, temporary buildings, and equipment between transmitter and receiver, reliable range sits between 400 m and 800 m. This covers camera-to-control-room distances at the majority of broadcast venues.
