VariZoom VZCINEMAPRO-K2 - Manual (Page 9)

- 8 -
Once you’ve set the middle number to the proper rest voltage, you need to make sure the
voltages on the left and right are equally far from the middle “rest” voltage. In other
words, if your rest voltage is 4.00, the left voltage could be 1.50 and the right 6.50.
If the difference is unequal, you’ll notice the lens zooms faster in one direction than the
other. The greater the difference, the faster the lens will zoom in that direction. The left
number should always be lower than the middle number and the right number should
always be higher than the middle number.
Canon or Fujinon Digital Servos
If you are using a Canon or Fujinon lens with digital servos, press “enter” until the lens
manufacturer’s name appears. Digital servos should automatically work with no setup.
Head Setup- Press the “menu” button twice to enter the secondary setup menu.
Select the “head setup” option.
If you are using the Head wired, change the “communication” box to read “two-way”,
and change the “head type” to read “wired”
If you are using the Head wireless, change the “communication” box to read “one-way”,
and change the “head type” to read “wireless”
Warning: In the “Head setup” menu, there is also a set of head speed options: “S-
Standard,” “HS - High Speed” and “HSX – Ultra Speed” – DO NOT CHANGE THIS
SETTING FROM “S – Standard” – THE CP SHOULD ALWAYS BE SET TO “S –
Standard”, unless you special ordered a high-speed custom head, in which case the
factory would have already preset the correct selection in this menu.
3. Basic operation and adjustments
WARNING: If your lens has an optical image stabilizer (OIS), we recommend that
you disable the OIS. The motion of the head may cause the OIS to exhibit some strange
behavior. In some cases, the OIS may create the illusion that the head is drifting at 90
degrees to the axis of motion (e.g., at the end of a pan move, the image may “tilt” slightly
up or down). Turn off the OIS to prevent optical problems.
The Head can control Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus, and record start/stop (when available from
the camera) from the advanced controller, and has programmable parameters for each
axis. Iris can also be controlled from an optional FIZ controller.
Pan, tilt, and zoom can be controlled with the joystick by moving the joystick forward,
backward, left, right, or twist for zoom.
Pan and Tilt can also be controlled by using the optional encoded handwheels or with the
optional panbar controller pan and tilt to be controlled as if using a fluid head. This can
also be fitted with optional Pro style zoom and focus controls.
