HS-105P pan and tilt head

Introduction
The HS-105 pan/tilt head has been designed specifically for use with ENG size camera and lens
configurations including a small teleprompter, with a maximum payload capacity of 34 kg (75
lbs). This compact and versatile head can be mounted within existing wall cavities or inverted
for suspension from ceilings, and the camera platform is adjustable to provide perfect balance
for your specific camera/lens combination. The head can also be mounted onto a tripod or
pedestal for use within television broadcasting studio environments. The range of HS-105 pan/
tilt heads can be used in various applications such as parliamentary proceedings, distance
learning between campuses, scientific meetings, and external broadcast and surveillance
applications. The head can be controlled by the AutoCam 200 control system, Multi Controller
II, Legislative Control System (LCS), and the Vinten Radamec VRC system (VRC-EPI).
Communication with the Controller is by RS-422 data over a maximum distance of 5000 ft.
(1500 m).
All of the electronics are contained on a single circuit board for increased reliability and the high
gain servos result in excellent acceleration (180°/sec²) and smooth movement with 36 arc
seconds position repeatability. This, combined with an extremely rigid mechanical design,
allows tight damping with minimum oscillation and overshoot.
Control of camera zoom and focus is supported for generic Vinten and AutoCam servo lens
drives that attach to ENG lenses and provide the drive motors and follow pots for servo
operation. Alternatively, the head can be used with the Vinten Radamec Native Lens Drive
(V3977-0001) that supports full servo lenses including Canon and Fujinon.
The range of HS-105 pan/tilt heads includes:
• HS-105P pan/tilt head is intended for studio applications only and is designed for use with
generic Vinten and AutoCam servo lens drives or the Vinten Radamec Native Lens Drive.
• HS-105SA pan/tilt head is intended for applications where a custom controller will be used
instead of an AutoCam controller, thereby requiring a change to the Control protocol for the
position feedback.
• HS-105PESA pan/tilt head is weather resistant and is intended for applications where a
custom controller will be used instead of an AutoCam controller, thereby requiring a change
to the Control protocol for the position feedback.
• HS-105PE/HS-105PE-NLD pan/tilt head are weather resistant and designed for use with
generic Vinten and AutoCam servo lens drives or the Vinten Radamec Native Lens Drive. It
uses weather resistant connectors and does not have a power On/Off switch.
• HS-105IT pan/tilt head is designed for interfacing with virtual sets, combining the robotics
of the head with electronic positioning encoders and data capture and transmission
electronics. The range of HS-105 pan/tilt heads can be supplied with the Image Tracker
(AM-HS-IT/AM-HS-ITE) that provides real-time digital electronic positioning of pan and tilt
movements as well as camera lens zoom and focus.
• HS-105ITE is a weather resistant version of the HS-105IT.
• HS-105SPAWAR pan/tilt head is weather resistant and designed specifically for remote
military applications. The head is supplied in either olive drab and desert tan colour options.
The HS-105SPAWAR pan/tilt head does not support lens control or auxiliary equipment and
does not have an On/Off switch.
