Feeding External Cables through the Head
In some cases, you will need to feed video or other
cables through the head. To do so, simply remove the
cable covers (pictured at right, covers may differ
slightly in appearance). 4 screws secure the long
vertical cable cover, while only 2 screws secure the
short horizontal cover. Run the cables through the pan
base and tilt arm with enough slack, and reattach the
cable covers.
If using the TOC system
Connect the TOC 3A (3 axis lens drive box) between the
orange 16-PIN lens control connector located on the
head, and the grey “control” connector located on the
TOC 3A. Connect the Lens drive motors to the
appropriate connection according to their function (zoom, focus, iris)
If using a Preston MDR2*
Connect the MDR2 box between the 16-pin LEMO connector on the front of the head, and the
appropriate command connected on the MDR2 box (refer to the manufacturer’s instruction manual for
proper connections). Connect the Preston lens motors according to their manufacturer’s instruction
manual
