Standing Up the Camera Head
Before connecting the camera head to a power source and network and
checking the operation of the system, stand the camera head upright. To
do so, attach the optional base plate to the camera head (
A
41), or
perform a provisional installation at the shooting location (
A
44).
Connecting a Power Source and Network
After connecting the robotic camera system to a power source, connect the camera head to the control PC. If necessary,
connect the system and an FTP server to a closed network, using static IP addresses for all network connections.

Attaching the Ferrite Cores
Attach the supplied ferrite cores to the end of the power cable and LAN cable (both commercially available) that you
connect to the camera head. This will reduce noise interferences.

Place the ferrite core about 3 cm (1.2 in.) from the power
cable’s 3-pin XLR connector. Loop the cable once and close
the ferrite core.
