Safety
•
Do not use around flammable gas. All electrical equipment can
generate sparks that can ignite flammable gas.
•
Keep the equipment dry. The system has not been made
weatherproof. Do not use with wet hands.
•
Keep cables tidy. Use cable ties to keep them out of harm’s way. If
you have a head with slip rings then make use of them; avoid
running any cables between the base and the rotating head or
camera.
Overview
Thank you for using the Pan Bars from Mark Roberts Motion Control
(MRMC). Pan Bars is a Ethernet mimic controller for the MRMC camera
head. It gives you a smooth, precise and real-time control over your
choice of camera axes —pan and tilt, and camera control — zoom or
focus or both. Pan Bars are designed to work well with both Flair motion
control and MHC software systems by MRMC.
Pan Bars can have the following configuration:

Basic Pan and Tilt over Ethernet to either a FLAIR or MHC
computer with Zoom or Focus or both.

As a mimic encoder output to a Datalink system using a mimic
box (FLAIR): The Mimic Box is used to convert the raw
encoder data and provide Ethernet (redundant function as
already on basic Pan Bars) or Datalink which is needed for
legacy systems.

Pan Bars with Surface Pro (MHC): The Surface Pro is
networked to the Pan Bars via an Ethernet Hub and is just
mounted on the top of the Pan Bars for convenience of the
operator.

Pan Bars with an Ethernet or Datalink MSA joystick controller:
The Pan Bars provide mimic encoder inputs via Ethernet to the
MSA Joystick which then controls the Head via Ethernet or
Datalink.
