Connecting to the Fusion Hand Control Interface
The Fusion Hand Control Interface is mounted on to the underside of the camera cradle and is supplied with a
single zoom/focus control cable that provides connection between the Head Zoom and Focus/Digital ports
and the Zoom/focus control input port on the Hand Control Interface unit. The unit is also supplied with the
appropriate
cables for connection to the pan bar hand-controls and camera lens. Figure 3 shows the
connection between the Vinten Radamec Fusion Hand Control Interface and the Head.
Power and EPL connections
The Head has an internal power supply unit that allows for mains power to be supplied to the Head from a
Fusion pedestal or Fusion Height Drive or directly from the Studio supply. Power and EPL cables are usually
combined into a single shielded cable. A Studio Floor cable can be used to connect the Head to the studio
power and EPL data communications. A shortened combined cable, called the Head Communication cable, is
supplied with the Fusion Pedestal and Fusion Height Drive to provide direct connection between the Pedestal
or Height Drive and the Head.
Connecting the Head to a Fusion pedestal
When mounted onto a Fusion Pedestal (FP-145 and FP-188), the power and EPL supply to the Head can be
obtained directly from the Pedestal using the Head Communication cable, thereby reducing the number of floor
cables about the studio floor. The Pedestal control panel has two power output sockets and a single power inlet
socket that is connected to the studio power supply. The Head Power Output socket is used to supply power
to the Head. Note that the Head Power Output socket is controlled by the Pedestal and therefore it is switched,
fused and isolated on activation of the emergency stop button on the Pedestal.
