Fusion FHR-120 robotic pan and tilt heads

Each power connector on the height drive is fitted with a retaining clip to prevent the cable
becoming dislodged causing accidental loss of power. Always ensure that the retaining clip is
fastened. Ethernet communication to the head is supplied by the Ethernet Out port on the height
drive. The Ethernet In port connects to the Vinten Radamec Control Panel via the Ethernet node.
Camera lens cabling
The head has an integral lens drive capability that can directly drive any full servo digital Canon
or Fujinon broadcast lens. A lens cable to suit Canon and Fujinon lenses can be supplied to
connect to the camera lens to the head.
• A digital camera lens requires a single RS232 focus and zoom cable connected from
the lens to the focus/digital port [8] on the head.
• Analogue lenses require both zoom and focus cables be connected from the lens to
the zoom and focus/digital ports ([7], [8]) on the head, respectively.
It is important that all cables are connected to the camera and payload, including the camera lens,
are dressed to impose minimum drag and allow full movement about the tilt axis. Note that the
weight of the cables also affects the balance of the head. Cables can be neatly secured to the
head by attaching a cable tie to the cable restraint [10].
VR connection (FHR-120 VR only)
If the VR version of the FHR-120 pan and tilt head is being used, an additional connection must
be made between the VR data connector [19] (Fig. 2) on the head and the Head connector on
the FVR box (see Fig. 10).
This feeds the head and lens encoder data back to the FVR box, so that these can be processed
and sent to the studio VR controller.
