Specifications

When the NORM - PS/CCU switch is in the NORM position, the camera can run at the standard speeds of
24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps. In the PS/CCU position, any speed from 5.000 to 75.000 fps can be achieved
on the 16SR 3 (5.000 to 150.00 fps on the 16SR 3 HS). All speeds set on the camera are crystal speeds.
Setting a Standard Speed (NORM)
• Set the NORM - PS/CCU switch to NORM. Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (left) position.
• Make sure the LCD display is in mode 1.
• Push the SEL button to cycle through the available standard speeds (24, 25, 29.97 and 30 fps). Each
speed will flash for approximately 3 seconds.
• While the desired speed is flashing, push the SET button to set the speed.
Setting a Programmable Speed (PS)
• Set the NORM - PS/CCU switch to PS/CCU. Ensure that the locking slider is in the unlocked (left) position.
• Push the MODE button once to change from mode 1 to mode 2 ("PS" - programmable speed).
• Pressing the SEL button now will select one digit after the other. A selected digit will blink. Pressing the SET
button will increment the value of the blinking digit by one. Repeat this procedure for all digits that need to
be changed.
The display will show full frame speed plus three digits past the decimal point. The 1/1000 th of a fps
(1/100th for speeds over 99 fps) is shown in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
