Ignite JSC-2300 SHOT Director Robotics/Camera Controller Instruction Manual
Section 2 — Functional Description
The SHOT Director controller provides the camera trigger and preset/
manual control commands (pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris) to the robotic head
and camera/lens assembly. Camera settings menus stored in the camera
block can be accessed and changed on-the-fly using the SHOT Director
controller.
The robotic head processes the pan and tilt inputs and moves the camera to
the commanded location. It passes zoom and focus commands to the lens
assembly. It also provides a communication path between the camera head
and SHOT Director controller (for configuration and status monitoring),
and provides 12 V dc to power the camera block.
The camera block receives 12 V dc power from the robotic head, tally (red
and amber) dry contact control from a tally controller, and facility supplied
gen-lock (sync). The camera provides iris control to the lens assembly,
status and configuration menu access to the SHOT Director controller
(through the robotic head assembly), and produces SDI video out to station
switching and processing equipment.
SHOT Director Controller and Ignite Automated Production
Control System
The SHOT Director controller and SDC/HDC robotic cameras can operate
stand-alone or as an integrated part of an Ignite automated production
control system. (
