Ross Video’s Sony Paint Control system enables you to adjust lens iris, camera paint (shading), and other settings on supported Sony cameras. You can also save and load Sony scene files.

The Sony Paint Control panel can be set up as a standalone paint control workstation, or be integrated with a Ross Robotics robotic camera system.

This Setup Guide describes how to install and configure the Sony Paint Control panel as a standalone paint control workstation.
