Safety
•Do not use around flammable gas. All electrical equipment can
generate sparks that can ignite flammable gas.
•Keep the equipment dry. The system has not been made
weatherproof. Do not use with wet hands.
•Keep cables tidy. Use cable ties to keep them out of harm’s way. If
you have a head with slip rings then make use of them; avoid
running any cables between the base and the rotating head or
camera.
Overview
Thank you for using the Ethernet Uniboard Pan Bars from Mark Roberts
Motion Control (MRMC). Pan Bars is a Ethernet mimic controller for an
MRMC camera rig. It gives you a smooth, precise and real-time control
over your choice of camera axes — pan and tilt, lift, rail and camera
control — zoom or focus or both. Pan Bars are designed to work well with
MHC software systems by MRMC.
This product enables two momentary-type foot switches to be connected
to the PanBars. The momentary-type foot switches to be compressed
continually while in operation, once pressure is removed the contacts
reset to the original state. Each of these foot switches can be connected to
move a bi-directional axis – one switch dedicated for each direction. A
third foot switch is maintained or latching type which is activated when
pressure is applied and remains in contact position until the switch is
pressed again.
