Plexon CinePlex Camera Mounting Guide
1. Introduction
For repeatable, reliable video recording, the video camera(s) must be mounted
stably and securely with respect to the experimental area. Cameras that vibrate or
move can result in not just partial recordings or blurred images, but also in
inaccurate position metrics, event triggers at undesired times, and, worst of all,
non-repeatable experimental trials.
This document provides guidance to help you ensure that your cameras are
mounted properly and in accordance with the needs of your experiments.
Note:
For comprehensive details on operating the CinePlex System, including
camera positioning and adjustments, see the CinePlex Studio User Guide,

2. Plexon Camera Mounting Kit
The Plexon
®
Camera Mounting Kit is provided with each camera shipped with a
CinePlex
®
Studio order. The parts have been selected to apply in many of the
situations encountered while doing CinePlex installations. Note that because of
the general nature of the kit, not all parts will be used in all cases. In addition,
there will be some cases where a particular installation will require that the
customer purchase some additional parts locally. The kit includes the mounting
assembly and mounting bracket shown on the next page.
CAUTION
Never plug or unplug a camera FireWire cable with the PC Power ON.
Permanent damage to the camera may result. Please note that any
damage due to this cause is not covered by the Plexon warranty.
