For more information on recording and playing back camera moves,

reference that section in this quick start guide or in the ORACLE manual.

G. MAX SPEED control dial

This dial is used to control the maximum speed of the elektraDRIVE

motors. The value is adjustable from

28

(being the slowest) to

1000

(being the fastest) and is displayed in the left column of the top

row on the home screen. For the sliders, these values are arbi-

trary and will vary depending on the which series of motor you are

using. Adjust and test as needed to achieve the speed required.

This dial can be adjusted in real-time during a camera move to ramp

speed up and down. These values are also recorded if creating a

recording to one of the memory banks.

H. DAMPING control dial

This dial is used to control the damping of the elektraDRIVE motors. The

value is adjustable in seconds from

.055s

to

2.55s

and is

displayed in the center column of the top row on the home screen.

Damping is the amount of time the motor takes to achieve maximum

speed (

G.

). This helps smooth the motion of moves.

A low value will make the motor jump to full speed quickly creating

snappy moves.
