Enable a camera unit
Enabling a camera unit will re-establish communications with both the head and pedestal. This process also
remotely switches a Fusion head from manual to automatic mode.
To enable a camera unit, proceed as follows:
1. Select the relevant camera unit (refer to Select a camera on page 25).
2. Select OPTS (25) > ENABLE.
The camera unit will run through an automatic enable process.
3. Re-target the camera unit (refer to Target camera units on page 22).
Control panel system functions
All the system functions are located in a group to the top right of the control panel (3)—(8). These buttons illu-
minate when depressed, indicating that the function is active and affecting the selected camera unit (10). Se-
lecting a system function button (3)—(8) a second time will extinguish the button, cancelling the function.
Pan follow
The pan follow button (3) activates pan follow pedestal travel mode for the selected RP2A pedestal, which
aligns the pedestal forward and backward travel direction, labelled ‘Y’ on the pedestal control joystick (16), with
the direction that the camera faces on the robotic head.
Joystick enable
The joystick enable button (4) must be depressed and illuminated to move the pedestal around the studio floor
(in X and Y axes) using the pedestal control joystick (16). When the joystick enable button (4) is NOT activated,
Note:
The camera unit must be re-targeted after enabling when switching from manual to
automatic mode. Refer to ‘Target camera units’ on page 22 for further detail.
Note:
Select RETURN to go back to the main screen without performing either an ENABLE or
TARGET command.
Note:
This function only affects Radamec RP2A pedestals.
Note:
Default pedestal control joystick directions (16) are governed by the absolute studio
reference datum (Fig 5) (Fig 6). For further detail, refer to ‘Installing a floor target’ on page
34.
