CONNECTING THE ORACLE™
Powering up and connecting your ORACLE to an elektraDRIVE
motor or Revolution pan/tilt head.
The ORACLE does not have an on/o switch. To power the unit on,
simply connect it to the provided power source.
Connect either an elektraDRIVE motor or Revolution head using the
included CAT5 network cable. If you need a longer or shorter cable, any
standard CAT5 network cable can be used in place of the provided one.
The Revolution Head requires two RJ45 plugs to be connected to the
CAT5 cable coming from the ORACLE unit. A 2-way CAT5 splitter is
included with the Revolution head so both motors can be connected.

For more information on recording and playing back camera moves,
reference that section in this quick start guide or in the ORACLE manual.
G. MAX SPEED control dial
This dial is used to control the maximum speed of the elektraDRIVE
motors. The value is adjustable from 28 (being the slowest) to 1000
(being the fastest) and is displayed in the left column of the top
row on the home screen. For the sliders, these values are arbi-
trary and will vary depending on the which series of motor you are
using. Adjust and test as needed to achieve the speed required.
This dial can be adjusted in real-time during a camera move to ramp
speed up and down. These values are also recorded if creating a
recording to one of the memory banks.
H. DAMPING control dial
This dial is used to control the damping of the elektraDRIVE motors. The
value is adjustable in seconds from .055s to 2.55s and is
displayed in the center column of the top row on the home screen.
Damping is the amount of time the motor takes to achieve maximum
speed (G.). This helps smooth the motion of moves.
A low value will make the motor jump to full speed quickly creating
snappy moves.

A higher value will slowly ramp the motor up to speed and then back
down when the joystick is released.
This is useful when wanting to create very smooth moves with gradual
start and stop motions.
Select the time frame you want in seconds to determine how much
damping is applied to the motor start up and shut down.
I. DEADBAND control dial (LIN/LOG)
The DEADBAND dial controls the sensitivity of the joystick. The values
can be adjusted from 0 - 99 in LIN (linear) mode and 99 - 0 in
LOG (logarithmic) mode.
Deadband is the circle of travel from the center of the joystick before
power is sent to the motor(s).

In LIN (linear) mode, 50% travel of the joystick equates to a 50%
increase in speed. By adjusting the LIN value, you can
increase and decrease the sensitivity of the joystick. High-
er numbers will make the joystick less sensitive toward the
middle. Any remaining travel of the joystick will be in linear values.
In LOG (logarithmic) mode, the movement of the joystick has an
exponential eect on the speed of the motors. In this mode, the rst
50% of joystick will increase power from 0 to approximately 10% on
the motor(s). The remaining 50% of joystick will increase speed from
approximately 11% to full power.

Logarithmic mode is useful if fully zoomed in with your camera. It
allows very precise, slow control at the center of the joystick with the
ability to perform quick moves as the joystick is moved to the outer
limits.
J. Joystick Button
The JOYSTICK BUTTON is used for making selections in the menu
system of the ORACLE. It functions the same as the ENTER button (C.)
K. Joystick
The Joystick is used for moving sliders left and right (X travel of
joystick) and Pan/Tilt heads (X and Y travel of joystick). It is also used for
navigating the menu system of the ORACLE.
The current position values of the joystick are displayed in the rst two
columns of the second row on the ORACLE home screen (A.). The rst
number displays the current Y speed value while the second set of
numbers displays the X speed value.
These values are dependant on the MAX SPEED (G.) setting and will
vary between 28-1000 depending on what the MAX SPEED is
currently set to.

When Playing back a live camera move, you will notice the screen briey
displays this:
You can use the “Flash Mark” screen as a visual clapper board when you
need to sync footage.
This is useful if you are layering several recordings on top of one another
for compositing work.
If you hold the Oracle in front of your camera and press a memory bank
button for play back, you can use the “Flash Mark” screen ash as your
sync point.
It is a good idea to leave a few seconds of no movement at the front of
your recorded move to allow you time to get the ORACLE out of frame
before the camera move starts.

TIME LAPSE & STOP MOTION WITH ORACLE™
MOTION CONTROL - OVERVIEW OF THE MODES
Live record
Use this mode to record your motion then play it back in real time.
You can record 25+ minutes of movement in each memory bank.
Smart Lapse™
SmartLapse™ is a remarkable method of recording a non-linear path in
real time. You then play the path in any time span from the time you
it took you to make the recording up to 29.5 days. Smartlapse™ works
by pulsing the power out in .05 second bits and recording each bit
rather than streaming smooth power like in live mode. Then, when
you want to play this recording back we simply replay each pulse back
but with varying delays biased o of your over all time of playback.
Because you are only able to record 10 steps per second it is
important to move as slow as you can to create the smallest possible
“movements”per pulse to give you a very smooth play back.
Continuous
This method will allow the camera to take pictures while the cart is
in motion to give more of the “lm” or “video” look to your time lapse.
(Please see Shoot - Move - Shoot vs Continuous on page 39)
Shoot - Move - Shoot
This method of time-lapse shooting will interleave your
picture taking and movement. The camera rst takes its
picture. Next the head or slider will then move, stop, then
the camera will take the next picture. This method will give
your time lapse more of a hyper real or stop motion look.
(please see Shoot - Move - Shoot vs Continuous on page 39)
Note: You may notice that when you go to adjust how many
pictures you want to take the number of pictures jumps in odd
increments. This is because when you created your path in
SmartLapse™ you have determined the amount of moves so the
Oracle™ will only allow an amount of pictures that can be evenly
divided into the amount of moves that you have made
with a max amount of pictures to be 2 pictures per pulse/
move. Any more than 2 pictures per will play back choppy.
EXAMPLE: if you recorded a move that took 2000 pulses the
maximum amount of pictures will be 4000 with 2000 or lower
providing the smoothest playback.
Stop motion
This method is identical to Shoot - Move - Shoot but will only
take one picture at a time. Once the rst picture is taken the head
or slider will move into the next position and wait until you are
ready to take the next picture. Once you are ready simply press
enter and the cycle will start over until the complete path is nished.
No Intervalometer
This mode will simply turn o the intervalometer while the motion is
ran.
Advanced Mode
With advance mode you will be able create a cycle. Within this cycle
you will be able to control how long a motor comes on for, how long it
will stay o for, what power it will run at when it is on and how many
times this cycle will repeat. You could use this mode for something as
simple as telling a turntable to turn on for 1 hour at speed 50 then shut
o and only have one cycle. To creating an string of thousands of micro
pulses in durations of 50 milliseconds each to create a time lapse. Or even
to turn on for a calculated amount of time that will equate to 8 equal
moves of rotation and to take a picture at each position to create a 360
degree panoramic.
When in advance with Shoot - Move - Shoot, the number of
pictures will not be limited like it is when shooting shoot move shoot in
SmartLapse™ be case the amount of moves will not be predetermined.

SMARTLAPSE™ TIME LAPSE
MOTION CONTROL - SMARTLAPSE™
The SmartLapse™mode can be used on either a slider, dolly
or Revolution head. With SmartLapse™, you can record a
real-time camera move to one of the memory banks and then play
that move back over a longer length of time (up to 29.5 days).
1: Once in Head Unit or Slider/TT mode press the MENU
button until you get to the main menu
1. Turn the DAMPENING dial all the way down to 0.05 S
2. Adjust DEADBAND dial to a value of 10 on the LIN side.
3. Press and hold down one of the 3 memory bank BUTTONS
(1, 2, OR 3) for 5 seconds.
The word Erasing appears for a few seconds.
4. In the next menu select 2:SmartLapse by pressing the
2 BUTTON
Erasing
Make sure to note your start position by using marking tape or a white
wax pencil so that you may return to it when prompted.
5. Move the joystick to start the recording right away or press the
center joystick button to start recording without moving the
device. The following screen is displayed during recording:
Note:
To get soft starts and stops it is best to have the speed turned all the way
down then push the joystick all the way the direction you want to move
as you slowly (over 10 seconds or so) dial the speed up to the desired
level then back down to stop.
Also, keep in mind this is an actual recording so keep your maximum
speed slow & under these specied values:
CineSlider, Shuttle Pod & Pocket Dolly: 300
Revolution Head: 100
You may notice that the movement while recording is jerky or
pulsing. This is normal as that is the result of the pulse recording
method of SmartLapse™.
6. To stop recording press the same memory bank BUTTON
(1, 2, OR 3) you chose earlier or press the MIDDLE JOYSTICK
BUTTON.
7. To playback the SmartLapse™ recording, press the memory
