The Profile of each move is stored with each position.  

Fig.2

 illustrates that each move TO a 

pre-set  position  will  take  the  time  associated  with  that  end  position.    Understanding  this 
enables efficient use of the same start position.

Fig.3  illustrates  the  opposite  situation  to  Fig.2.    Because  each  of  these  moves  ends  with 
position 1, each move will take the same amount of time 

– as defined by the profile associated 

with position 1.  Therefore, the move from position 8 will be the fastest. 

 
If  the  move  is  taking  too  long  the  operator  simply  needs  to  push  the  pre-set  position  button 
again and the camera will reposition as fast as possible.  
 
The  camera  will  make  the  profile  move  from 

wherever  it  is

  to  the  pre-set  position  selected, 

always  in  the  same  amount  of 

Time

.    Therefore,  the  camera  will  move  faster  if  the  move  is 

further. 
 
To perform the same move repeatedly use 2 pre-set positions.  1 for the start position and 1 for 
the end position. 
 
 
 

 D* Commands for the Camball4                     

 
The position of any axis can be requested from the camera.  This is useful if you are not using a 
virtual model of the 

Camball4Ki

 and need to generate your own reference positions. 

 
If  you  need  to  write  your  own  control  commands  please  ask 

BR  Remote

  for  the  full  Dstar  & 

Mstar Protocol documents including the full command list.
