QUICK START GUIDE
This quick start guide walks you through setting up the UMC-4 with one
hand unit and three motors for wireless lens control.
Mounting on Camera
Mount the UMC-4 on the camera, preferably in a vertical position by using
the L-Bracket, with the antenna pointing upwards and the motor connectors
pointing towards the lens. Such a position is necessary for the generation
of valid tilt and roll data from the built-in inclinometer.
Powering up
Connect the UMC-4 to a power source with one of the power cables listed
on pages 41 and 42. Power-up the unit by pressing the power button
momentarily.
Setting Time and Date
The time and date of the device are factory preset; however, they are set to
Central European Time, which might not be suitable for your location. To
set time and date, go to Menu>System>Date/Time>Set Date/Time.
Time and date are used in the naming of metadata files recorded to SD
card, as well as in the log file. The UMC-4 will keep time and date even if it
is disconnected from a power source, as it includes a built-in lithium battery
that normally lasts for more than five years.
Setting up Motors
Attach the motors for focus, iris and/or zoom to the lens. Make sure the
motors are properly mounted to their respective lens axes and will not
loosen up when operated.
