30X Optical Zoom Camera

3-axis Gimbal introduction
-2-
FOXTECH SEEKER-30 is a high-precision professional 3-axis
gimbal with a 30X 1080P Optical Zoom Camera which features
high stability,small size and light weight. The 3-axis gimbal
adopts high-precision encoder in each motor, based on FOC
motor control technology.
The speed of the gimbal is ajustable, LOW speed mode is
used for large zoom range, so the control will be more
accurate; Fast speed mode is used for small zooming range,
which makes the gimbal control sensitive and quick. Also the
one-key to center function will allow the gimbal returning to
initial position automatically and rapidly.
Object tracking function(optional)
-2-
1 
Build-in normalization ,cross-correlation and tracking algorithm,
combining with object missing recapture algorithm, achieve stable
track of the target.
Support custom characters of user OSD, adaptive gate, cross
cursor, trace information display.
2、Tracking performance
1)Update rate of deviation pixel 50Hz
2)Output delay of deviation pixel <15ms
3)Minimum target contrast 5%
4)the minimal signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) 4
5)Minimum target size 16*16 pixel
6)Maximum target size 160*160 pixel
7)Tracking speed 32 pixel/frame
8)The mean square root values of pulse noise in the target
position<0.5 pixel

Functional descriptions of mode (regard the third switch channel mode as the example)
Pod PWM signal instructions:
YAW directional channel: speed mode ,connect rocker channel, (or
third gear switch channel, stopping need third to middle position.)
PITCH Pitch channel: speed mode ,connect rocker channel, (or third
gear switch channel, stopping need third gear to middle position.)
MODE gimbal one button back and speed adjustment:angle mode, A
knob or a thirt gear channel switch.
gear
Turn the knob to the three position: Low speed & not follow yaw mode, at this
moment, the joystick controls YAW and PITCH, pod has the lowest speed of
movement, its yaw does not follow the rotation of the aircraft;
Turn the knob to any position above three：variable speed & following mode,
at this moment, the joystick controls YAW and PITCH, The movement speed of
pod rises(Speed varies with position) ,pod works in follow yaw mode.
Turn the knob to the one position : high speed following mode.
Toggle switches one time between position -2 and -1 rapidly, pod returns to the
home position;
Toggle switches two times between position -2 and -1, pod use speed mode
(profile 1)
Toggle switches three times between position -2 and -1, pod use angle mode
(profile 2);
Toggle switches four times between position -2 and -1, calibrate the accelerator.
Toggle switches five times between position -2 and -1, calibrate the gyroscope
Note: pod turns on in the static state, and the gyroscope is automatically
calibrated ;The working mode of pod at the next boot time is the mode used last
time, factory mode is speed mode.
