Handling and ergonomics
MOVIEtube ST is designed for use on shoulder.
The quick release plate – compatible to Panasonic and Sony - guarantees a safe and fast installation on and off the tripod.
The ergonomic position of the professional b/w viewfinder enables an optimal focus control at any time, and allows working smoothly even in critical situations.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
To carry the Camera System please use the top handle grip of the MOVIEtube ST only. Never use the handle bar of the docking camera.
For shoulder operation consider the following steps:
The MOVIEtube ST is placed in front of you, lens left hand, battery right hand side.
Grab the top handle of the MOVIEtube with your right hand from below and behind and lift it onto your right shoulder. Support it from the side with your left hand
on the front camera handle.
When securely on shoulder, the right hand releases the upper handle grip to hold the second front handle grip. With your left hand you will control the focus.
Power supplies and outputs
In addition, the b/w viewfinder can be adjusted in three axes to the cameraman’s eye position.
A 14.4 Volt Lithium Ion Sony V-mount (or Anton Bauer) battery, supplies the viewfinder with power as well as the video distributors and the electronics.
There is a fuse (8A/T, 5x20mm) inside the battery plate. This fuse blows in case of an electrical short. A spare fuse is enclosed. To change the fuse, release the 4
screws and lift off the battery plate from the mounting base. You’ll find a fuse holder as well as a spare fuse.
The battery is extendible up to a distance of 100mm from the body, which counterbalances heavy lenses allowing the whole Camera System to fit comfortably on
the shoulder.
In addition to the viewfinder socket the following connectors are available:
3 Video out: 1 BNC, 2 Fischer (Arri Mini Monitor)
12 Aux PWR out (36Wmax) with Fischer connector 11-Pin
Many extra devices such as a wireless follow focus and a wireless image transmitter can be connected by high quality Fischer connectors. The Data sheet
provides information about technical details.
To input the MOVIEtube the docking camera’s video signal , use the Y/C Output with a component splitting cable and feed only the Y-signal to the composite
video cinch input of the MOVIEtube ST electronic module(Component splitting cable can be purchased from KINOMATIK).
This prevents a disturbing colour graining in the b/w viewfinder and gains a sharper image.
