• Pulling the bar backwards decreases the fade time (speeding up the
movement).
Fading or Cutting multiple shots
The number of shots that can be selected at one time is controlled by the Single
Select mode in the Configuration screen – See Shot preferences on page 74.
• If Single Select mode is ON (button illuminated), you can only select one shot
on one camera at a time. If you select another shot, the previously selected
shot is automatically deselected.
• If Single Select mode is OFF, you can select a shot on more than one camera.
When you then select Fade or Cut, all of the cameras will start moving at the
same time.
Stopping a Cut or Fade movement
Touch Stop to halt the movement of a head or pedestal that is moving during the Fade
or Cut to a selected shot.
Typically, the Stop button is used when there is a risk of damage to the equipment or
injury to personnel, if the robotic movement were allowed to continue.
There are two stopping options that can be selected in the Configuration screen:
• The first Stop option provides a ‘gentle’ synchronised stop that stops the
pedestal in approximately two seconds and is recommended for on-air use.
• The other stop option provides a ‘fast’ abrupt stop that is not synchronised and
may produce a small amount of instability on the pedestal and therefore
should not be used on air – See Panel options on page 70.
After using Stop to halt a robotic transition, the original move can be completed or the
camera unit moved to a different shot, by selecting the required shot on the touch
screen and selecting Fade or Cut.
Warning!
Before initiating a multi-camera move make sure that the area
around all of the relevant cameras is clear of people and that
the cameras will not collide with each other.
