Q u i c k S t a r t G u i d e

2 Quick Start Guide

Initial Setup

1 Plug 12-17V into the RECEIVER's “PWR” port.

The ideal source is a ~14.8V battery, such as 4S ithium cells.

If the voltage is over ~17.5V or polarity is reversed, the Receiver will block the

dangerous voltage and not start.

2 Affix one or more MOTORS to the rods/ lens.

Each motor is factory-set to a certain class (Focus, Iris, Zoom) and labelled

accordingly. You can re-assign motor classes via the menu.

3 Plug the motors into the RECEIVER unit.

The motor port that the motors attach to isn't important. The motors will begin

calibrating.

4 Put a Canon P-E6 battery in the Hand Unit and hold down

the PWR button.

Camera Run/Stop

1 Connect the appropriate Run/Stop cable from the CAM

port on the Receiver to your Camera.

2 Enter the Controller’s MENU, Select CAMERA, then select

which camera you have connected.

3 You can now Run/Stop the camera with the REC button.

3 System Overview

Introduction

T e RTMOTION MK3.x Lens Control System is optimised for ig -end Wireless

and Wired remote control of Cinema and Still camera lenses.

T e range is specifically designed to enable a low-cost entry point (single

motor), wit a broad expansion capability.

A large number of accessories are in development to furt er expand on t e

range's capability (gimbal controllers, underwater controllers, etc.), and we

always welcome feedback on ow we can better serve your needs.

Theory of Operation

Smart Motors

T e MK3 MOTOR units are intelligent smart motors, wit built-in electronics

w ic andle all seeking and calibration be aviour. W en powered up, t e

motor will find t e lens end-stops and learn t e c aracteristics of t e attac ed

lens. It does all of t is wit out any elp from t e Receiver or Controller.

Eac motor remembers its CLASS (focus, iris, zoom), and its RESPONSE

(normal, fast, slow). You can t erefore plug any motor into any Receiver port.

To re-configure a motor, you need to use t e CONTROLLER menus.

Since t e motors ave t eir own intelligence, t ey need only a small 4-pin

lemo cable for operation.

S y s t e m O v e r v i e w

Receiver Unit

Offloading some electronics into t e smart motors as enabled us to

dramatically s rink t e Receiver in size. It andles only NETWORKING and

CAMERA INTERFACE operations. T is as enabled a system wit low cost,

ig flexibility and very small size.

Controller (Hand Unit)

T e Controller is t e main brain of t e unit. Via its OLED screen it also andles

t e remote-configuration of t e Receiver and Motor.

Wireless

RF3 Generation

From MK3.1 onwards, devices include our latest RF3-Generation wireless

modules. We strive to stay at t e forefront of performance, and t erefore we

ave jumped at t e opportunity to offer w at we believe is t e longest range,

most interference-immune wireless solution on t e market. FCC and CE

certification is of course retained, and we are now rig t up to t e legal limit.

Accessories

Slave Controllers

Slave Controllers are simple (affordable) devices—suc as joysticks,

t umbw eels, record buttons—w ic rely on external electronics to function.

To use a Slave Controller, you need to attac it to an RTMOTION device wit an

AUX socket. For example, RECEIVER MK3.1.

Smart Controllers

Smart Controllers contain electronics, and t erefore do not require a

Controller or Receiver. You need only POWER and a MOTOR. Our range of

smart controllers are estimated for s ipping in late 2013.

MK3.x Controller

T e MK3.x CONTROLLER gives from 3 to 6 axis control.

Note: Picture shows MK31/Z variant with optional Force Zoom Joystick.

Configurations

Any INPUT (Large knob, Side Knob A, etc.) can be assigned to any ENS AXIS.

For example, an MK3/B “Basic” controller can be configured so t at t e MAIN

KNOB controls Focus, SIDE KNOB A controls Iris, and SIDE KNOB B controls

Convergence.

All variants are capable of simultaneously controlling at least 3 axis, so are

effectively “FIZ” and “3D” capable.

M K 3 . x C o n t r o l l e r

T ere are owever significant ergonomic advantages to industry standard

controls, so for fine control it is recommended t at t e Force Joystick is used

for Zoom, and t e Slider is used for IRIS.
