The SP-2000/X-Y Servo Pedestal
The SP-2000/X-Y is a freely navigating XY servo pedestal designed to operate
with the HS-2010 series of pan/tilt heads to support full facility CCD studio or
portable cameras with lens, viewfinder and teleprompter. The maximum pay-
load capacity including the pan/tilt head is 320 lbs (145 kg).
The SP-2000/X-Y base has specially designed servos with a proprietary guid-
ance and position sensing system which produces a very high degree of accu-
racy. Since the system does not use a closed loop reference, the SP-2000/X-Y
avoids the need for constant visibility of the reference target during use. Once
the target coordinates have been loaded into the system, the pedestal will operate
with unparalleled accuracy for extended periods without needing to verify its
position with external sources. An exclusive split wheel design ensures that the
pedestal has a very low cumulative error and will maintain its accuracy beyond
the length of any expected production.
