General Description
The Cinema Pro is a mid-size, two axis motion control head. It has a
wide variety of operating modes: manual operation from joystick, optional
hand wheels or pan bars control, motion control style record and playback, “go
to mark” preset framing, intervalometer operation and can operate as a slave
to Kuper Node motion control. It also is capable of providing motion data for
virtual set operation.
The Cinema Pro Advanced Controller gives the user all input and
programming capabilities and has a joystick for pan & tilt control. The
Advanced Controller also works in concert with two optional control input
devices: Pan Bars for broadcast-style operation or Hand Wheels for cinema-
style operation.
The Jibstick remote is a simpler, less expensive controller designed for
one-man jib operation. The jibstick only offers joystick pan & tilt with
smoothing and speed control.
The Cinema Pro’s lens interface controls zoom, focus and iris. It provides
four varieties of control signals: RS-232 for Fujinon digital lenses or Varizoom
(TOC) motor drives, RS-422 for Canon digital lenses or Preston motor drives,
position or speed based analog, pulse width type RC servos, and LANC.
The following is an in-depth description of Cinema Pro operation and a
complete description of each of its features.
