To get the vertical balance right, raise or lower the platform
to get the camera’s vertical center of mass located on the
center of tilt rotation. To adjust, loosen the platform locking
lever about ½ turn. Turn the brass knob on the underside of
the platform to precisely raise or lower it. Rotate the
platform to various angles and adjust until it holds position at
any angle. If it falls down, you need to adjust the platform
upward. If it drifts upward, you need to lower the platform.
When balance is achieved, tighten the platform locking lever.
After all connections have been made and the camera is
balanced, the head is ready to be powered up.
Connect the power supply to AC power. Switch on the
Advanced Controller’s power in sequence: start with the
switch on the left. Wait for sync to be established - a
spinning diamond will appear in the lower left corner of the
remote. After the diamond stops spinning, sync is established
between the Head and the controller. Now switch on motor
power (the power switch on the right)
Set inputs
- You will now need to set the Head to respond to the correct controller
inputs.
Press the “menu” button to bring up the setup menu. Select the “inputs” option. This
will bring up a controller inputs grid.
Here is where you can assign how Pan, Tilt, Zoom, and Focus will be controlled.
Move the cursor box to where you’d like to control each axis.
Note: Make sure you have the correct controller selected. I.E. if you are using the
joystick, check mark all boxes next to “Joystick”; if using wheels, make sure “wheels” is
selected, etc. This will greatly affect the performance of the Head.
Overslung/Underslung
- Make sure this selected for the proper configuration. If
this needs to be changed, simply move the cursor box over the selection, and press
“enter”. This will change the Pan response.
