Mode”, the time specified here will be the shutter delay time when operated in “Stop
Motion Mode”. After you select the desired shutter delay time, change the
intervalometer back to “Stop Motion Mode”. The shutter delay will now be set. (set it to
“0” if no shutter delay is desired)
11. Bloop Delay/Camera Sync
Bloop delay will allow you to choose the number of seconds before it will take for the
head to begin playing back a move after the “play” button is pressed. This can be used in
conjunction with a bloop light or trigger.
Sync is where you can synchronize move playback with your camera’s shutter pulse.
When both “Sync” and the intervalometer are enabled, the Cinemapro will trigger the
camera shutter according to the number of playback frames during playback.
“sync” will also allow you to feed the Cinemapro a frame pulse from film cameras.
When “sync” is turned on, the head will synchronize the move according to the frame
pulse. If there is any lag in this, you can use the “cam phase” to adjust the difference.
Virtual sync is used to generate a virtual “frame pulse” when using a digital format
camera or any camera that doesn’t give a frame pulse. This will sync the move to
whatever FPS you specify in this menu.
12. Jog Time
Jog time is the time the Head will take to or from a mark or zero.
Select “Jog Time” from the setup menu
Under the “jog time” option, you can set the number of seconds the Head will take to go
from mark to mark, from zero to mark, or from mark to zero.
Under “jog motion” you can choose either “s-curve” or “linear”. This is how the speed
will vary throughout the motion.
“s-curve” will start slow, speed up, then slow down before all axes reach their
destination.
“Linear” will start slow, and then increase speed. Maximum speed will be reached at no
more than 50% of the move.
“linear ramp” will adjust the percentage of the move the Head will take to reach full
speed in while “linear” is selected.
