The 3 AXIS motor control system is designed to work with camera lenses featuring external gear interfaces.
The system is designed to operate from supplied DC power of 12-24V. Operational wireless range of 600 feet
dependent on line of sight. ISM2.4M frequency with 9 selectable channels.
Getting started:
-
Mount the motors to the camera lens via rods mounted to the camera. Place the lens travel anywhere in
the middle and engage the motor to the lens.
-
Mount the MRS-1 to the camera. Plug in PWD power cable to the MRS (red collar connector)
-
Connect the motors to the MRS-1 via the control cables mounted on the UM3 (green collar connector).
Connect the appropriate motors to the connectors on the MRS according to the function (focus to MOT-F
input, zoom to the MOT-Z input, iris to the MOT-I input)
-
Power on the MRS and the MCS. Make sure the wireless channels match between the units. Change as
needed.
-
-MRS is connected to the MCS when signal bars icon is visible on the MCS screen next to the channel
number indicator.
-
Calibrate the motors.
Auto calibration is available by pressing and holding the blue function button located at the
bottom of the MCS display.
Calibration of individual motors can be accessed at the UM3 motor by pressing the RED button
located by the cable for 3 seconds.
-
Once motor calibration is completed the system should now control all motors.
-
If during calibration the motor does not turn the lens for proper rotation, check the motor torque setting
found in the MCS menu screen. Low torque settings will not supply enough power to the motor for some
Cinema lenses for proper calibration.
