2. Power up the head and start MHC on the PC.
3. Set the control directions.
In the MHC Client, you need to specify the directions of the focus,
zoom and joystick or wheel controls for your particular head, lens
gearing attachments, and preference. For example, some people
prefer the camera to point upward when the joystick is pulled back,
while others prefer the opposite logic whereby pushing forward
(“up”) on the joystick targets the camera upward in the scene.
To invert the control directions in MHC, use Invert in the
Preferences page. Refer to the MHC Quick Start Guide for details.
Use the switches on the joystick controller to invert the axes
direction on the controller.
4. Home Zero the axes.
After powering up, you need to Home the head and any lens axes,
also called
Home Zeroing the axes. The process of Home Zeroing
involves moving each axis to a known position and referencing the
software to this position. This position is usually set to zero and can
include an offset adjustable by the User.
The zero points themselves are not stored in the head or lens when
the power is off, so you need to define them at the start of each
session, by Home Zeroing the axes. The MHC software physically
moves the axes to the home positions that are built into the
hardware and then assigns these positions as the zero points for the
axes.
The method of Home Zeroing depends on the hardware setup and is
pre-configured by MRMC. It will usually be the automatic method.
It is not necessary for you change these settings.
Each axis must be homed individually.
In the manual method (sometimes called direct zeroing ) you use
the controls to point the camera head in the direction that you want
to use as the zero position for the head axes and then manually set
the current axes positions as the zero points.
