LDT- R1 User Manual

If a map needs to be temporarily reversed we suggest to reverse the direction of the
motor in the Main Menu > Motor direction.
Using a Lens Data Encoder
Usually camera operators like to have a manual control of zoom instead of
controlling it by using a motor. A lens enoder can be used instead in order to avoid
the friction of a motor, allowing the axis to spin free and be able to achieve valuable
encoding data.
DCS provides a lens data encoder called LDT-E1 alternatively a Arri LDE-1 can be
used. Both of these solutions are plug and play, there is no need of creating a new or
separate lens table to work for the LDE.
Note: the motor might need to reverse direction: please go to ‘Changing the Motors
direction’ chapter.
Setting the axis for the Encoder
You must select the axis the LDT-E1/LDE-1 is set to. Can be bound to a specific axis.
Choose: Menu > Settings > LDE Axis to change;
Choose on which axis the LDE needs to be bound to between focus, iris or zoom.
Note: On the LDE-E1, the physical button where to choose the bounding axis is
disbale on the LDT-R1. Please use the menu as described above.
Changing the Motors direction
If for rigging purpose a lens motor or lens encoder need to be reversed choose:
Menu > Motor direction > Reverse.
