General Description
The Cinema Pro is a mid-size, two axis motion control head. It has a wide
variety of operating modes: manual operation from joystick, optional hand wheels or
pan bars control,
motion control style record and playback, “go to mark” preset
framing, intervalometer operation and can operate as a slave to Kuper Node
motion control
*. It also is capable of providing motion data for virtual set operation.
The Cinema Pro Advanced Controller gives the user all input and programming
capabilities and has a joystick for pan & tilt control. The Advanced Controller also
works in concert with two optional control input devices: Pan Bars for broadcast-style
operation or Hand Wheels for cinema-style operation.
The Jibstick remote is a simpler, less expensive controller designed for one-
man jib operation. The jibstick only offers joystick pan & tilt with smoothing and
speed control.
The Cinema Pro’s lens interface controls zoom, focus and iris. It provides four
varieties of control signals: RS-232 for Fujinon digital lenses or Varizoom (TOC) motor
drives, RS-422 for Canon digital lenses or Preston motor drives, position or speed
based analog, pulse width type RC servos, and LANC.
The following is an in-depth description of Cinema Pro operation and a
complete description of each of its features.
*These features are only available when used with the advanced controller.
