Introduction The Vinten Radamec Head Processing Module (HPM) (Figure 1) has been designed to integrate with Vector 950E or Vision 250E pan and tilt heads, Canon and Fujinon lenses and Quattro-SE pedestal, coordinating encoder output from all axes for VR applications. The HPM mounts directly to the Vinten ‘E’ pan and tilt head, receiving power and a Genlock signal from a studio source, and supplying power, ethernet and Genlock signals to the Quattro-SE pedestal and outputting VR data to the studio.

Operation Installing the HPM The Vinten Radamec HPM seamlessly integrates with a Vector 950E or Vision 250E pan/tilt head and Quattro-SE pedestal. Please refer to the relevant operators guides for detail on safely setting up the pan/tilt head and pedestal. Fitting to the head The HPM is supplied with a mounting bracket (5) which attaches to fixing holes on the pan and tilt head.
CAUTION! When fitting a Vision 250E pan and tilt head/HPM configuration to a Quattro-SE pedestal, ALWAYS fit the adapter ring kit (3354-900SP) between the head and the pedestal weight tray—to avoid trapping the ethernet, power and genlock cables. (19) (20) (5) (8) Figure 3 Fitting to a Vision 250E head WARNING! Do NOT attempt to lift and carry the pan and tilt head via the HPM mounting bracket (5).
Alternatively, a 12V power supply can be sourced from the camera or other power supply unit via a standard 4 pin XLR cable. CAUTION! Using alternative power sources will invalidate the system EMC liability. The power output socket (12) supplies power to the Quattro-SE pedestal via the pedestal’s cable management system. For more information please refer to the Quattro-SE Pedestal Operators Guide (Publication Part No. V3851-4980).
Lens serial connection The lens serial port (9) is not currently utilized. Vinten Radamec PDA connection The Vinten Radamec PDA configures, calibrates and coordinates all devices connected to the HPM. Connect the Vinten Radamec PDA to the PDA Comms port (16) using the supplied PDA cable. For more information please refer to the Vinten Radamec PDA Operators Guide (Publication Part No. V4015-4980). VR connection The VR data port (15) provides output for the studio VR system.
Resetting the HPM In the unlikely event that the HPM becomes unresponsive, the unit can be reset by using a suitable pointer (e.g. a pen) to press the reset button (2).
Maintenance General The Vinten Radamec HPM is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Refer to the appropriate section in the Technical Manual if any defect is apparent. Adjustments and repairs should be carried out only by a trained and competent person. Routine checks During use, check the following: Check that cables do not become entangled around the pan axis.
During normal use the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth. Dirt accumulated during storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention should be paid to all the connection ports (1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16). CAUTION! 1. DO NOT use solvent- or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to remove accumulations of dirt as these damage the protective surfaces.
