BRIDGE MODE
CINESHOOTER SYSTEM
USING BRIDGE MODE
NOTE: At this time, Bridge Mode has not been enabled in the firmware. This option will be available in
coming firmware updates.
By utilizing one of the EXT. Port on your CineShooter, users can link either an additional
Second Shooter Pro/Second Shooter Plus/Second Shooter Classic controller or a Wireless
Expansion Module (coming soon) to increase the number of available axes simultaneously.
In order to get started with Bridge Mode, users will need to connect each of the controllers
with a Bridge Cable.*
In addition to the Second Shooter Pro’ Expansion Port being used to connect to controllers
in Bridge Mode, it can also be utilized to connect to motion control accessories, such as the
Digital Control Center.
SETTING UP BRIDGE MODE
Plug in the Bridge Cable* from the EXT. port on your CineShooter to one of the expansion
ports on the bottom of your connecting controller.
Once the CineShooter/Controller are powered on, use your CineShooter and go to the
OPERATING MODE
menu. Set the CineShooter to “Master”, and in your bridged Controller, go
to the
OPERATING MODE
menu and select “Slave”.
You can now program a move or do a manual move like normal.
When “Master Active” is shown on the Master controller, the arrow buttons on each
controller will control the motors connected to that controller.
To be able to control the motors connected to the slave unit through the master unit, double
tap the SHIFT button. The controller will now show “Slave Active” and pressing the arrow
buttons on the master unit will control the motors connected to the slave unit.
*Although these cables are similar to other RJ-11 cables, DO NOT use any other cable for bridging CineShooter
to other controllers/modules. Doing so may put your system at risk for damage.
