Can I use the CR14A remote to control XC18A, XC19A, and XX20A cameras?

[CR14A]

Unable to control my new cameras (XC18A, XC19A, and XX20A) with my old (CR14A Pan 'n Tilt) remote.  The new cameras are not connected to a Pan 'n Tilt base.

Should this be possible?

I have the camera power supplies set to A1, A2, A3.  They work fine if I only have one plugged in at a time.  When I plug them all in I am not able to select just one with the CR14A remote.

Any suggestions?

The CR14A transmits RF while the camera power supplies are controlled by X10 powerline signals.  You need a transceiver like a TM751 or RR501 (or CM15A) to convert the RF to a powerline signal.

Thank you for the prompt reply.  Amazing!  I am almost speechless! 

Let me see if I understand this....
Does the Ninja Pan and Tilt receive RF from the CR14A to control its motion?
But the addressable power supplies are controlled by powerline signals from a transceiver such as the TM751?
And the CR14A sends RF to the TM751?

I may need to rethink my entire perception of the universe.

Yes, to all three questions.

Thank you.  I have ordered a TM751.

Thank you.  I have ordered a TM751.

The 751 is impolite sending RF signals, the RR501 transiever is polite and will wait to send RF if another RF device is sending.
