SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL
3 - Active - Roll Velocity
The head is active. Joystick left-right controls pan, up-down controls tilt
and rotating the joystick controls the roll of the remote head. A given rotation controls roll
speed
4 - Active - Camera Frame
Same as
Active - Roll Velocity
with the exception that all controls are
relative to the camera/image, not the remote head
5 - Invalid
6 - Motors locked
The head is locked. Depending on the setting
MOTOR LOCK MODE
this will either
be
Home
which means straight forward or
Current
which is the current position when the mode
is entered
In the settings menu, tab
CONTROL
, dead-band and exponential mapping can be set for each
joystick axis. In addition to the joystick there is a number of other controls that affects the movement
of the remote head. These are as follows:
Speed dials (point 19-21)
sets the max speed (at full joystick deflection) for each of the tilt, pan and
roll axes
Ease in/out (point 23)
controls how much filtering is applied when changing velocity. A higher
value will result in a smoother operation, but also requires more planning ahead for example
when stopping a pan
Motors locked button
Holding this button will cause the remote head to enter the Motors Locked
state until the button is released. This is done in order to minimize random walk. When this
button is held down, it is not possible to control the remote head using the joystick. This fea-
ture can be assigned to a button through the Remap Inputs setting described in the advanced
section

LENS CONTROL
Given a compatible lens or camera, and the correct interface dongle, the Newton C1 can control the
following settings:
RECORD
Start/stop camera record. Controlled by the big record button (point 18)
FOCUS
Adjust lens focus. Controlled by the large focus wheel (point 6)
IRIS
Adjust lens iris/aperture. Controlled by the smaller iris wheel (point 7)
ZOOM
Adjust lens zoom. Controlled by rocker (point 8). The zoom rocker have adjustable dead-
band and exponential function that can be adjusted in the settings menu, tab
LENS
.
Note that not all lens/camera interfaces supports all controls. To get exact information which
lenses/cameras supported by an interface dongle and which controls it supports, see the documentation
for that specific dongle.
4.3.1
LENS PRESETS
There are three lens presets which can be individually configured to control any combination of zoom
and focus. By holding the preset button for approximately 3 seconds, the preset will be set to the
current zoom and/or focus, depending on the settings described in section
Once the preset has been set, a single press of the corresponding preset button will make the lens
go to the preset zoom and focus positions.
