VariZoom VZCINEMAPRO-K5 - Manual (Page 7)

Communication connector (Green)- Connect this to the communication cable, and connect the other
end of the communication cable to the green connector on the CinemaPro Head. This cable runs
communication as well as power, so make sure that there is XLR power connected to the CinemaPro
Pan direction and Tilt direction- Reverses the response direction for each axis
Joystick for pan and tilt operation- Move the joystick in the direction you wish the head to move. The
response direction can be changed with the response direction switches.
Smoothing- Adjusts the amount of smoothing for both the pan and tilt axes. The higher the smoothing
is set the more “delay” there will be in response to the joystick.
Pan speed and Tilt Speed- Adjusts the maximum speed for the pan motor and tilt motor.
Deadband- Adjusts the amount the joystick must be moved before pan and tilt will respond.
3. Troubleshooting
No Response from head
1) Make sure that the motor power switch is turned on, and the light above it is green.
2) Check to make sure that there aren’t any soft limits set too close together. Disable all soft limits, and
then try again.
3) Power down the system, unplug the XLR connector, wait for a few seconds, re-plug everything back
in, power it back up, then try again.
Pan and Tilt moves too slowly or PanBar range is limited
1) Check both speed settings. If the speed is dialed too slowly it will appear to have no response at all.
Head is “jerky” or too responsive
1) Turn down motor speed.
5) If you have been using the advanced controller, check to make sure that the servo tuning in the
“tuning” menu is set to the factory setting. Selecting “reset all” will return this to the factory preset.
Note: When the jibstick is plugged into the head, it will default to the servo tuning of the last
advanced controller that used with the head.
