3 System Overview
Introduction
The RTMOTION MK3 Lens Control system is optimised for high-end Wireless
and Wired remote control of Cinema and Still camera lenses.
The range is specifically designed to enable a low-cost entry point (single
motor), with a broad expansion capability.
A large number of accessories are in development to further expand on the
range's capability (gimbal controllers, underwater controllers, etc.), and we
always welcome feedback on how we can better serve your needs.
Theory of Operation
Smart Motors
The MK3 MOTOR units are intelligent smart motors, with built-in electronics
which handle all seeking and calibration behaviour. When powered up, the
motor will find the lens end-stops and learn the characteristics of the attached
lens. It does all of this without any help from the Receiver or Controller.
Each motor remembers its CLASS (focus, iris, zoom), and its RESPONSE
(normal, fast, slow). You can therefore plug any motor into any Receiver port.
To re-configure a motor, you need to use the CONTROLLER menus.
Since the motors have their own intelligence, they need only a small 4-pin
lemo cable for operation.
