Micro L
Head
Instructions
Ver. 20.1.4
The
Micro L Head (µL)
can be controlled by any BR Remote controller. These generate
RS485 data which can be connected directly to the
Micro L Head
or sent via an IP network
with IP adaptors. The RS485 data can be sent up to 1km on a twisted pair cable.
Power for the
µL
can be up to 35v so very long ranges can be achieved by increasing the
voltage to the remote end. Inside the unit is a 12v regulated supply for the camera so it
doesn
’t matter what voltage you send to the
µL,
the camera will always have 12v
.
Both power and RS485 control data are input via the 4pin Lemo connector on the base.
Currently, the cameras supported with control protocols are
Marshal
(VISCA) and
Dreamchip.
The control protocols for these cameras are embedded in the
µL
and can be
connected to the camera. The camera itself can then be controlled via BR Remote
controllers. The Camera CCU output is RS422 and is on the 7pin Lemo connector.
There are various widths of camera plate available; 40mm, 45mm and 60mm. Choose the
one that best suits the camera you are using.
As standard the
µL
is weatherproof and can be used outside. This makes a perfect match for
the small weatherproof cameras that are readily available.
There are slipping clutches on both pan and tilt which prevent damage
to the mechanics if it is moved inadvertently during rigging or if it hits
an obstruction during use.
And if you want to hang it upside down
– no problem. There are 3x
M4 mounting threads as well as a
¼” camera thread on the base.
