Appendix ‘A’ – CCU panel and Joystick panel settings
Note that the RCP pan
el should be selected to ‘Sony’ camera make, and ‘Q-3 camera type
to control Q3. The baud rate would normally be set 2400 baud.
The Joy
stick panel should be set to ‘Q-Ball 3’ in the setup menu. The baud rate of the
Joystick would normally be set to 4800 baud.
Note that if Q3 is being controlled over a very limited bandwidth audio link then the joystick
baud rate should be reduced to 2400 or even 1200 baud. The RCP baud rate should
always be the same as or less than the joystick setting.
Appendix ‘B’ – Removing the Interface Box lid.
Warning! - Isolate the product from the power supply before removing the cover.
To access the links, the lid of the interface box must be removed to access the PCB
’s. First,
remove the power from the unit. Then remove the four nuts holding the BNC connectors on
the rear of the unit. Now remove the four cross head screws holding the rear plate and
remove the rear plate with plastic surround.
Now loosen the two upper cross head screws on the front panel on the unit.
Now slide the lid of the box towards the rear and remove it completely.
To replace the lid simply reverse the above procedure.
Appendix ‘C’ – Internal link settings.
There are three links on the small PCB at the front of the Q3 Interface box, and a further
two links on the main PCB.
Small PCB links
These links should all be set to the left hand position.
The right hand position is for possible future upgrades.
Links on the main PCB
LK4 This is set to synchronise the VR data and should not be changed.
LK5 This is currently not implemented and should be left in the supplied position.
Appendix ‘D’ – Startup Interface Box settings.
It is possible to change a number of the functions available from the head by switching on
the Interface Box with the ID and Group setting switches in non-standard positions.
This is not as comprehensive as settings that are available when controlling Q3 with your
own external software, but it may be useful to be able to change these particular functions.
See the ‘Q3 Protocol’ document for a full explanation of controlling Q3 from your own
software.
