1.0 Scope
This manual contains information for the Telemetrics HP Servo Pan/Tilt Head Model
PT-HP-S4, Part No. 92 56156 000. This Pan/Tilt is designed for use with ENG and
smaller type cameras. Due to the different types of cameras and lenses the
Pan/Tilt interfaces with, many options are manufactured. Some of those options
are described in the following paragraphs. Please consult the factory for the
specific options available.
2.0 Introduction
The PT-HP-S4 is a robotic camera pan/tilt head with smooth variable operating
speed. Heavy duty cross roller bearings and swings motors with isolation mounts
provide quiet operation. The lens connector provides direct connection and
interface to lens functions. Lens interface options are also available. The Pan/Tilt
head is powered from the Rack Mount Power Supply PS-RM-48 and converts the
48V to appropriate voltage levels for the head, auxiliary robotics devices, camera,
lens and viewfinder.
The unit is controlled through serial data interface using RS-232 standard or RS-
422 optional or 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet connections. Manual smooth motion is
accomplished using velocity servo controls. Two hundred and fifty five (255)
presets are available. Presets are called using shot convergence technology,
allowing for smooth motion like presets. An optional camera control feature is
available for certain cameras. It has Tally LED on front panel to indicate camera
“On Air”.
The PT-HP-S4 is typically controlled by a Telemetrics Rack Serial Control Panel
(CP-R-3A or CP-R-2A), Desktop Serial Control Panel (CP-D-3A or CP-D-2A) or
Remote Control Panel (RCP). Second party RS-232/422 control systems can also
be used to interface with the unit. Please consult factory for configuration
assistance. See Appendix A for Serial Protocol specifications.
