Bradley HDC_100/SR User manual

Available Controls
Pan, Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Iris (auto/manual), Pan & Tilt Speeds, Pan & Tilt reverse direction, 8 x
preset positions (upgradable to 32) of Pan, Tilt, Zoom & Focus, White Balance (Auto, ATW,
5k6, 3k2, Manual), Red Gain, Blue Gain, Detail, Shutter, Master Gain, Gamma.
The camera can be set to either HD or SD but does not offer both simulataneaously.
Pan & Tilt Speeds
The latest versions (from Ser.No. BE_121098) all have 10 speed ranges. Both Pan and Tilt
speed ranges move up and down together. Speed 10 is intended for fast sport applications
and has a faster reaction time but does not have feedback motor control. Speed 9 gives the
same top speed, a smoother uptake and full feedback speed control.
All previous versions can be upgraded to the latest software version.
Blue Status LED
The blue LED on the side of the CamBall 2 indicates the status of the unit.
On power up the LED will flash 3 times. This indicates that power is OK and the
microprocessors are functioning correctly.
Slow flashing (1 on and 1 off per second) - No data or incorrect data
Continuous on -System Data OK but not being addressed
Fast flashing (25 times per second) - Camera being addressed by controller

The HDC_100 is very simple to operate and requires only power and data from any Bradley
Engineering control panel. Both power and data are connected with the single XLR4 connector
on the base. The data is RS485 and will reach about 1km on a good quality screened twisted
pair cable (eg XLR3 audio cable). Power will only reach 50m from the controller. Longer
ranges can be acheived by powering locally with a ‘Y cord’.
XLR4 Input:
Pin 1 = Ground (Blue)
Pin 2 =Data A (Green)
Pin 3 =Data B (Yellow)
Pin 4 =Power (Red) 10v - 16v
There are 2 outputs:
1. SDI or HDSDI This will be either HD or SD depending on the ouput standard
2. Composite (VBS) This is only available when the camera is in SD modes
There are no external controls, everything is controlled from the connected controller.
The availalbe functions will be those that can be accessed from the controller.
WARNING: Do not obstruct the fan outlet at the back and check fan is working regularly.
The HDC_100 is supplied in customer specified, upright or inverted mode. This determines
where the connectors are positioned when the camera is pointing straight ahead and the
picture is the right way up. This is a mechanical setup and can be changed in about 5 minutes.
Refer to the special instructions.
Mounting
There are 4 standard camera mounting threads on the base. 2 x 1/4” and 2 x 3/8”. They are
on a PCD of 30mm. The maximum thread depth is 12mm for these threads.
There is also a 6mm safety bond attachment bolt. Be sure to use this if the camera is rigged
above head height.
Clutches are fitted on both axes to prevent damage to the internal mechanics and to aid rigging
by enabling the unit to be turned by hand without damage. Mechanical stops prevent the axes
being rotated too far.
In operation the pan and tilt range are about 250degrees. There are 10 electronic ‘gears’ that
are set with the speed controls. At the slowest possible speed (gear #1 and joystick just off the
centre) this will give a roataional speed of about 1 rev in 2hrs. In gear #10 with the joystick full
over the speed will be about 90deg/sec.
The HDC_100/SR has slip rings and can rotate continuously. The
base is slightly larger to accomodate the required electronics.
However, pre-set positions can only be stored within the 250
degree arc of the position sensor.
