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
– You only need to enter this menu to switch the head between wired
and wireless mode. Press the “menu” button twice to enter the secondary setup menu.
Select the “Head setup” option.
- Using the Head in Wired Mode: The “Communication” setting should be on
“two-way” and the “Select head type” setting should be on “Wired”
- Using the Head in Wireless Mode: The“Communication” setting should be on
“one-way” and the “Select head type” setting should be on “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 JR SHOULD ALWAYS BE SET TO
“S - Standard.”
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 CP JR 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 and with optional cables attached) 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. Focus is controlled with the knob to the left
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.
.
Record start/stop is done by holding the “Q” button and pressing the “enter:” button. A
“C” (for camera) will appear next to the “Go To” option when camera record has started.
Note that the record start/stop feature may be thrown out of sync if you connect XLR
power to the head while the camera is powered up – make sure the camera is off when
you plug power into the head.
