VARIZOOM CP JR Operation Manual Download Page 3

 

General Description 

The CinemaPro JR is a lightweight, two-axis motion control head with lens interface controls for zoom 
and focus. It handles several control signals: RS-232 for Fujinon digital lenses or Varizoom (TOC) motor 
drives, RS-422 for Canon digital lenses or Preston motor drives, analog control for Fujinon or Canon.   
 

1. Basic Setup

 

-Secure the head to crane, tripod, or solid mounting beam 

-Plug the FACTORY POWER SUPPLY into AC mains 

-Connect XLR cable between head and FACTORY POWER SUPPLY 

-If present, plug the zoom/focus hand unit into the Jibstick Pro, THEN plug 
the green control cable into the green 7pin port on the Jibstick Pro 

-If applicable, connect camera power (red) and lens control cables (orange) 
and route the cables through the tilt axis port hole to connect to your 
camera  

-Make sure to turn camera power on as the LAST step. 

Feeding External Cables through the Head 

In some cases, you will need to feed video or other cables 
through the head.  To do so, simply remove the cable covers 
(pictured at right, covers may differ slightly in appearance).  
4 screws secure the long vertical cable cover (we have 
eliminated the small horizontal cover on newer models).  
Run the cables through the pan base and tilt arm with 
enough slack, and reattach the cable cover. 

If using the TOC system 

Connect the TOC 3A (3 axis lens drive box) between the 
orange 16-PIN lens control connector located on the head, 

and the grey “control” connector located on the TOC 3A.  

Connect the Lens drive motors to the appropriate connection 
according to their function (zoom, focus, iris)
