ZOOM DESENSITISE
The Newton C1 contains a function called zoom desensitise that allows more precise control of the
remote head when using different zoom levels. Zoom desensitise reduces the effective speed of all
control movements based on the current zoom level in a way so that when fully zoomed out (wide
angle) the max speed will be the speed set by the speed dials and when zoomed in (tele). The speed is
reduced by a factor, settable by the operator. To enable zoom desensitise and set the reduction factor
use the settings
ZOOM DESENS
and
ZOOM DESENS MAX
on the
CONTROL
settings tab.
The max zoom desensitation value can also be mapped onto one of the rotary dials on the Newton
C1 using the input remapping settings as described in section
.
4.4.2
PAN FOLLOW
Pan follow is an advanced feature whereby the camera will follow the rotations of the pan box, with
settable strength. This feature is for example useful when using the Newton S on a car or other vehicle
where you want the camera to in general follow the movements of the vehicle itself as it turns.
To activate the pan follow mode, set the setting
PAN FOLLOW
on the
RMT SETTINGS
to EN-
ABLED and use the
PAN FOLLOW STRENGTH
to control how tightly the camera follows the movement
of the Newton S.
It is not advisable to activate the pan follow mode unless it is explicitly needed.
4.4.3
MOTION RECORD
WARNING
Motion Record is at this time an experimental feature, more of a
proof-of-concept than a fully completed featured. As such the intention is
to allow for users to try it out and provide feedback, but Newton Nordic
does not provide any gurantees about functionality or future development
of the feature.
Motion record is a feature whereby the movements of the Newton S can be recorded, stored and then
played back. In this alpha version there are a number of built-in limitations of the feature
• Only the movements of the camera are recorded. No recording is done of the lens control.
• When playing back the recording, no user control of the movement can be done, so the user
cannot modify the recording on-the-fly.
• The recording is limited to 10 tracks of recording. On Newton S the length of each track is
limited to approximatly 5 minutes.
That said, motion record alpha can be useful for repeating the same move over and over.
To activate the motion record feature, go to the setting tab
ADVANCED
and set
MOTION RECORD
to ENABLED. This will modify the GUI main page to display information about current track as well
as buttons to activate motion record/playback. Once enabled, recording a track is a three step process
1. Using
MREC DECR TRACK
and
MREC INCR TRACK
to select the track to use
2. Press
MREC ARM REC
to arm recording. Arming recording clears the track and prepares for
immediate recording. Arming can take up to a few seconds to completed
