Control Console
Each control console can manage a maximum of two encoded axes and two analog axes. The control
console allows the user to adjust the speed multiplier and the smoothing level of the input signals reducing
the hand vibrations. It is possible to reverse the travel direction independently on the two main axes. The
control console is able to limit the range of the axes according to the user's settings (§4.2.8.1). A large RGB
led shows the system status. Several input devices can be connected via the connectors on the back panel
(i.e. encoded devices as e-Cube or Hand wheels for a greater accuracy or a 3-Axis joystick for a simple
desktop setup). In addition to the encoded inputs, two additional analog inputs are available for the Zoom
and Focus controllers (§4.5.4 and §4.5.5). It is possible to connect an external button (§4.8.7) to
momentary freeze the system, in order to recover the e-Cube Pan/Tilt position without taking your hands
off the controls. The Tally led shows the remote camera recording status, and an output Tally connector
repeats the signal to connect any monitor supporting this feature.
