The camera will move to the shot position in the specified fade time, while a fade timer indicates progress
in the touch screen stored shot location (24). When the camera is in position, the stored shot location
turns from red to blue.
Fade time control
A fade time ‘throttle’ control (14) is located toward the left hand side of the panel. This control affects the fade
time between shots in real time. When fading to a shot, pushing the fade time control (14) forwards will increase
the fade time (slowing movement). Conversely, pulling the fade time control (14) backwards will decrease the
fade time (quickening movement).
Cut to a shot
The cut function moves the camera to a stored shot position as quickly as possible.
To cut to a shot, proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired shot from the grid display (24).
2. Select CUT (32) from the touch screen display, or depress the cut push button (11) (for more detail
refer to “Cut, fade and stop panel buttons” below).
The camera will move to the shot position as quickly as possible, while a cut timer indicates progress in
the touch screen stored shot location (24). When the camera is in position, the stored shot location turns
from red to blue.
Stop a Cut or Fade
To stop the camera immediately during a cut or fade movement, select STOP (33) from the touch screen dis-
play, or depress the stop push button (13) (for more detail refer to “Cut, fade and stop panel buttons” below).
Cut, fade and stop panel buttons
Cut (11), fade (12) and stop (13) buttons are all located together toward the left hand side of the panel. These
functions duplicate those found on the touch screen display.
When a shot is selected on the touch screen (1), the cut (11) and fade (12) buttons will illuminate, indicating
that these functions can be selected. Once a cut or fade command is activated, either from the touch screen
(32), (31) or the joystick control panel buttons (11), (12), both buttons will extinguish. The stop button (13) will
then illuminate, indicating that this function is available to halt robotic movement. When the camera unit arrives
on-shot, the stop button (13) will also extinguish.
Edit a shot
The Edit function (34) allows the operator to alter stored shots and reposition shots (24) in a show. To return
to the main screen select RETURN.
Edit shot name
To edit a shot name, proceed as follows:
1. Select the desired shot from the grid display (24).
Note: If the distance between the existing camera position and the desired shot position is small
in relation to the specified fade time, the system moves to the shot in the fade time.
If the distance between the existing camera position and the desired shot position is too
great in relation to the specified fade time, the system will cut to the shot as quickly as
possible. This may take longer than the specified fade time.
