General Description
The CinemaPro JR is a lightweight, two-axis motion control head for film
and video cameras. It has a wide variety of operating modes: manual operation
from joystick,
motion control style record and playback, “go to mark” preset
framing*. Software upgrade options are also available for additional features
such as intervalometer, camera sync, PC data share, and additional recorded
takes and mark points.
The Cinema Pro JR’s optional advanced Controller can give the user all
input and programming capabilities and has a joystick for pan & tilt control.
The Advanced Controller also works in concert with two optional control input
devices: Pan Bars for broadcast-style operation or Hand Wheels for cinema-
style operation.
The Jibstick remote is a simpler, less expensive controller designed for
one-man jib operation. The jibstick only offers joystick pan & tilt with
smoothing and speed control.
The Cinema Pro JR’s lens interface controls zoom and focus. It handles
several control signals: RS-232 for Fujinon digital lenses or Varizoom (TOC)
motor drives, RS-422 for Canon digital lenses or Preston motor drives, position
or speed based analog, pulse width type RC servos, and LANC.

Go to marks and presets are only available when using the advanced controller.
