MultiController II Operation
2-10 User Manual
Stopping A Move Or Jump
If a camera is being sent to the wrong shot, or if you need to abort a Move or
Jump for safety reasons:
1. Press the SAVE/STOP button to immediately stop all heads from moving.
NOTE: All heads that are in motion will immediately stop when you press the
SAVE/STOP button. You cannot stop individual heads.
Trimming And Resaving A Shot
Sometimes you may want to trim a stored shot. For example, if a different
anchor is filling in for a few days, it may be easier to trim and resave the shot
rather than have to adjust it during each show. When the normal anchor returns
you can trim it to the original setting and resave it again.
1. Select the desired camera, select the shot and Move or Jump to it.
2. Trim the pan, tilt, zoom and focus as needed.
3. Press and hold SHIFT while pressing SAVE/STOP to update the shot with
the trimmed values.
Multiple Moves
As soon as you initiate a Move or Jump on one camera, you can select a differ-
ent camera, select a shot and initiate another Move or Jump. The MultiControl-
ler II can simultaneously profile moves on all six cameras.
Exploring Moves
To gain familiarity with the system and its operation, it is a good idea to simu-
late a real on air production using two or more cameras.
1. Create and save the shots you need for camera #1. This may include wide
and tight shots, over the shoulder shots and so on. Use the shot card to
make a note of the location of each shot.
2. Explore various Moves between the shots for Camera #1.
3. Try different Time settings to find the best value for Camera #1.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 for the other cameras.
5. Practice switching between cameras and initiating multiple simultaneous
Moves.
