XY/Height joystick
The XY/Height joystick 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 relative to the
target. Moving the joystick forward and back will cause the pedestal to move north and south. North is
the direction away from the side of the pedestal that has the cable connection panel (see Pedestal
orientation on page 34).
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 customized
in the Configuration Screen (see Configuring the VRC system on page 55).
Pan follow
When Pan Follow 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 34).
When Pan Follow mode 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 turns off the pedestal bumper protection which arrests the SP-2000 and RP2A
pedestal travel on contact with an obstacle.
RP2A control functions
The following functions are only applicable when operating the RP2A pedestal. These functions are
additional to the other pedestal functions listed above.
Target disable

selected pedestal will continue to use the dead reckoning positional system alone.
NOTE: Before the pedestal can travel across the studio floor, the
Joystick Enable button must be depressed and illuminated (see
Joystick Enable on page 22.
WARNING!
