Make sure that the overall assembly is balanced by tilting it forward and backward, and adjust the screws as necessary. After the cabling has been attached, you may further refine the balance of the assembly.LANCLANCConnect the HD15 end of this cable to the HD15 Camera Control port on the PTX unit.

Take the supplied Velcro cable ties and clean up the wiring bundle to reduce the probability of snags. Make sure there is sufficient slack for the assembly to tilt back and forth on the PTX head.Use one of the supplied MiniDIN1.0/2.3 to BNC cables to connect the SDI Out of the MicroStudio 4K camera to the SDI Out connector on the PTX arm.Locate the DC power cable included with the PTX. This cable has a locking DC plug on one end and a non-locking plug on the other.The locking DC plug connects to the DC to CAM port on the PTX. Insert it fully and tighten the locking ring to secure the connection.Insert the non-locking plug into the socket on the BABYZOOMER DC splitter cable.This will feed video out of the camera to the SDI Out connector on the base of the PTX for easy cable management.

You should be ready to connect your controller (VISCA or DMX) and begin operating the PTX and BABYZOOMER kit!Connect the power cord to the base of the PTX, and the unit will start initializing the pan and tilt axes. If the kit is too far forward or backward to allow proper tilt initialization, the initialization will simply fail, like you see here. If so, disconnect the PTX power cord … then loosen the thumb screws and slide the kit slightly toward the rear or front as necessary. Re-tighten the thumbscrews … then connect the power cord again. Once the unit successfully initializes you should be optimally balanced for normal operation. Loosen the thumbscrews holding the BABYZOOMER assembly to the PTX and slide it backward or forward to make sure it is well balanced, then tighten the thumbscrews to lock it into place.Failed initialization results in the camera falling forward or backward during power-up.
