Connections / Ports

1.  8 way Navigation Stick (NavStick):

 on 

spectrum control for navigation, selection 

and setting up programmed key-frame shots 

without a remote. See how to program a shot 

using only this controller -

com/emotimo/spectrum-instructional-videos/

video/189070569  

2.  Camera shutter port: 

Triggering you DSLR is 

accomplished by hooking up a camera specific 

shutter cable from the st4’s camera port to 

your camera’s shutter release port.  During 

a timelapse sequence the st4 sends a focus 

signal and shutter signal to your camera at the 

same time for the duration of the Static Time 

setting. 

Hint -  Take Test Shots:  

The PS4 Controllers’ 

right trigger (R2) will focus and fire the camera on most 

screens.  A half press is focus, and a full press is shutter/

focus to trigger your camera to shoot.  

3.  USB port: 

Future functionality - Powering the 

spectrum for motor moves from any USB port 

is not  supported. 

4.  i/o port: 

The spectrum’s i/o port is used for 

serial communication to external devices. 

5.  Remote control port: 

This full-sized USB 

port is dedicated to hold the PS4 Controller’s 

wireless dongle. If you remove the dongle 

for travel, keep it safe. You can’t connect the 

remote without it! 

6.  uSD card slot: 

The spectrum st4 ships with 

a uSD card. This card and port are used for 

firmware upgrades and future support of 

saved moves and settings. 

7.  M3 (motor 3) port: 

The 3rd powered stepper 

port typically used for slider, but can be used 

for any approved stepper accessory. This 

port is controlled by the PS4’s Left Joystick 

(left/right)

 

8.  M4 (motor 4) port: 

The 4th powered stepper 

port typically used for Fz, but can be used for 

any approved stepper accessory. This port is 

controlled by the PS4’s triggers

 (L2/R2)

.  

Did you know? 

– Did you know the “4” in “st4” is 

for 4 axis control. The spectrum st4 is the first 4 axis 

powered controller of its type. We think having more 

axis give you more options to play increasing the 

palate of possibilities. Go tell better stories. 

9.  DC power in:
