When the joystick’s movement becomes too loose or too tight it may be necessary to adjust its
tension spring. Use a long Torx-10 type screwdriver to adjust the tension screw of the joystick.
The screw is located in a hole at the side panel of the OCP casing. Turn the screw and move
the joystick at the same time to find the right adjustment.
1.5.6 Lens indicators
The display shows the current F-number of the iris. When the master black is changed, or
when the FREE button is pressed, the value of the master black level is displayed for five
seconds.
The Extender indication lights when the range extender function of the lens is selected.

Chapter 2 - Configurations
2.2 Dual camera configuration
This configuration is commonly used in 3D operation. One of the two OCPs is switched to a
special multi-camera mode, in which its own camera is the primary camera and the other the
secondary camera. All functions controlled from this OCP that fall under multi-camera control,
will be sent to both cameras at the same time.
In multi-camera mode, all switch-functions and multi-valued switch functions will be controlled
in an absolute manner, so, e.g. the colour bar or optical filters of both cameras will be set to
the same value when controlled from an OCP in multi-camera mode. In case of potmeter-
functions (e.g. iris, gains, blacks) the behaviour is different. In this case both cameras will
receive the same relative updates, so any offsets between their values will normally remain
intact.
2.3 Single camera configuration
In local mode, the OCP 400 is directly connected to the serial RS-232 connector at the front of
the camera. Both the camera and the OCP 400 must be powered locally. Video signals are
available at the camera’s adapter.
