Contro er
The heart of the Controller is an advanced microprocessor set making
sure that the head works perfectly. A unique driving software manages the
energy given to engines in an outstanding manner; even at low speed and
heavy load they work optimally and smoothly.
Thanks to autocalibration feature, every time you turn on the Controller
(after 2 s) the joystick is automatically placed at 0 (resting) point. This
function effectively eliminates the so called slow swimming effect of the
engines at resting point of the joystick. Autocalibration further prevents an
accidental and quick start up of the Head after the device has been turned
on.
The Head features an innovative and practical autopanorama function.
It lets you move the camera constantly and stably in horizontal 360° axis.
The speed is regulated by a knob and has a range from 7 s to 8 min per full
turn. After the parameters have been set up, you start the Head by pressing
the button on the control panel. In autopanorama function, you can adjust
the speed and turning direction in real time.
The controller also has a practical function of head movement memory,
the so called memory bank. A registered material may be played and
rewound on demand or played in a continuous loop.
Controller functions:
•a joystick operating in both axes,
•smooth, independent regulation of each axis speed,
•quick on/off axis movement controlled by a switch,
•reverse movement direction in each axis independently,
•5 levels of gradually regulated RAMP functions (inertial speed up and
slow down of the Head movement); additionally acts as a protection
from mechanical and electrical damage,
•autopanorama function,
•multifunctional memory bank,
•Linear/Logarithmic joystick switch,
•all functions are visualized by Controller diodes,
•power supply, tractor signal supply, and main switch are installed at the
back part of the casing.
