HS-102P pan and tilt head
14
Introduction and description
The HS-102P is a small profile versatile remote pan and tilt head that can be wall mounted, hung
from a ceiling bracket or mounted on to a pedestal or tripod. The head is designed to support a
wide range of camera and lens combinations, weighing up to 16 kg (35 lbs). The head delivers
high speed and accuracy in very tight spaces and is ideally suited for use in government
proceedings, delivering distance learning between campuses and documenting scientific
meetings.
The extremely rigid mechanical design and high precision servo technology ensures that the
head provides broadcast quality smooth movement at all times, while still achieving outstanding
acceleration, working seamlessly with the Vinten Radamec Control system (VRC), Legislative
Control System or the MultiController II.
HS-102PE
The head is available in a weatherproof version (HS-102PE) designed to operate over an
extended temperature range of -20°C to +50°C / -4°F to 122°F. The head has weatherproof
connectors [12] and [13] for power and data. Note that the LEDs are removed. The standard
cover plate [10] on the studio head is replaced by a small housing that contains a desiccant
capsule.
HS-102P-IT
For Virtual Studios there is a version of the head (HS-102P-IT) that has a factory fitted Image
Tracker that fits to the head cover plate [10]. The head and Image Tracker combines Autocam
robotics with electronic positioning encoders and data capture and transmission electronics.
Providing real-time digital electronic positioning of pan and tilt movement as well as lens zoom
and focus, the HS-102P-IT is especially suitable for interfacing with any virtual set.

The virtual studio head (HS-102P-IT) is available in a weatherproof version. The Image Tracker
cover plate [15] is replaced by a small housing that contains a desiccant capsule.
Native Lens Drive options
The Native Lens Drive (NLD) is suitable for operation with current full-servo broadcast Canon
and Fujinon lenses. The NLD provides analogue and digital lens drive outputs for the control of
modern full-servo Superbox and ENG lenses through plug-in cables rather than a fitted lens
bracket. The cables can be easily unplugged when the camera is required for use elsewhere,
and then reconnected within seconds.
The NLD communicates with the lens software allowing for easy interchangeability. Lens
calibration for zoom and Focus control starts automatically at power up and takes less than a
second for serial for serial control or up to 40 seconds for analogue control. No further manual
intervention is required once the NLD is installed and configured.
