XY/Height joystick
The XY/Height joystick [21] is on the left-hand side of the control panel and is used
to operate a pedestal. By default:
• Moving the joystick left and right will cause the pedestal to travel West and
East, respectively, relative to the target.
• Moving the joystick forward and back will cause the pedestal to move North
and South, respectively. North is the direction away from the side of the
pedestal that has the cable connection panel – See Pedestal orientation on
page 18.
• Rotating the joystick clockwise will lower the camera and rotating it counter-
clockwise will raise the camera.
If required, the direction of camera movement relative to joystick movement can be
customised in the Configuration Screen – See Configuration on page 65.
Pan follow
When Pan Follow [8] is off, pushing the XY/Height joystick forwards and backwards
on the Y axis causes the pedestal to travel North and South as defined by the target
placement. North is the direction away from the side of the pedestal with the cable
connections – See Pedestal orientation on page 95.
When Pan Follow is on, pushing the XY/Height joystick forwards and backwards on
the Y axis causes the pedestal to travel forwards and backwards in the direction that
the camera is pointing.
Bumper disable
The Bumper Disable button [7] turns off the pedestal bumper protection which
arrests the SP-2000 and RP2A pedestal travel on contact with an obstacle.
NOTE: Before the pedestal can travel across the studio floor, the Joystick
Enable button must be depressed and illuminated.
Warning!
Risk of personal injury or damage to equipment when the
Bumper Disable button is depressed.
