• Brown camera select buttons (36) indicate that either or both the robotic head and pedestal are
set in manual mode. Refer to the relevant head and pedestal operators guides for further detail.
If a Fusion head is connected, it may be remotely switched to ‘Auto’ by ENABLING the camera
unit. Please refer to Enable a camera unit on page 30 for further detail.
• Yellow camera selection buttons (36) temporarily indicate that the control system is establishing
communications with this camera unit. Once connected, the button will change to one of the
above status colours.
2. Select either the relevant touch screen camera select button (36), or camera preview button (10) on
the control panel.
Once selected, the corresponding touch screen camera button changes colour to green, the camera pre-
view button (10) illuminates on the control panel, the preview monitor displays the selected camera’s vid-
eo signal and the robotic camera unit can be controlled by the control joysticks (9), (16).
Camera zoom/pan and tilt head control joystick
The camera zoom/head control joystick (9) is located on the right hand side of the control panel. By default,
moving the joystick left and right will pan the camera left and right, moving the joystick forward and back will tilt
the camera down and up. Rotating the joystick clockwise will zoom out, and rotating it anticlockwise will zoom
in. If required, the direction of camera and zoom movement relative to joystick movement can be customized
in the VRC System software (refer to Configure joystick settings on page 31).
Pedestal control joystick
Where fitted, the pedestal control joystick (16) is located on the left hand side of the control panel. By default,
moving the joystick left and right will cause the pedestal to travel left and right relative to the absolute studio
datum (Fig 5) (Fig 6). Moving the joystick forward and back will cause the pedestal to move forward and back.
Rotating the joystick clockwise will vertically lower the camera, and rotating it anticlockwise will raise the cam-
era. If required, the direction of camera movement relative to joystick movement can be customized in the VRC
System software (refer to Configure joystick settings on page 31).
Focus control
The focus knob (15) is located on the left hand side of the panel. Rotating this knob (15) adjusts the camera
focus.
Note: The on air (tally) indicators (2) show which camera unit’s video signal is currently live on
air. Conversely, the illuminated camera preview button (10) indicates which camera unit is
under control of the panel features.
If a selected camera unit is not available, the camera preview button (10) will not remain
illuminated.
Note: Before the pedestal can travel across the studio floor, the joystick enable button (4) must
be depressed and illuminated (refer to ‘Joystick enable’ on page 30).
