ADJUST BACKLASH
The RED Lens Control Motor offers next to zero backlash when properly installed. However, you may experi-
ence backlash with third-party motors, or certain lens and motor combinations.
The W.M.D. allows you to compensate for any backlash. Select an anti-backlash setting in the range of 0–3,000
encoder counts.
1. In the W.M.D. main menu, select the lens function for the specific motor. (Example: Focus, Iris, or Zoom)
2. Select Backlash.
3. Use the Select and Back buttons to navigate between digit values.
‒ Press Select to move the cursor to the right one (1) digit.
‒ Press Back to move the cursor to the left one (1) digit.
‒ Press Up to increase the value or press Down to decrease the value.
4. Adjust the setting until backlash is removed.
5. Deselect the digits and return to the menu.
ADJUST ENDSTOP
The W.M.D. provides a buffer for the endstops. However, different lenses have varying requirements for this
buffer. Some lenses require the motor to drive the lens right up to the endstop. Other lenses do not require this
and allow a large buffer to prevent high speed moves from overshooting into the end stop.
The W.M.D. allows you to compensate for the endstop buffer range. Select an endstop setting in the range of
0-3,000 encoder counts.
1. In the W.M.D. main menu, select the lens function for the specific motor. (Example: Focus, Iris, or Zoom)
2. Select Endstop.
3. Use the Select and Back buttons to navigate between digit values.
‒ Press Select to move the cursor to the right one (1) digit.
‒ Press Back to move the cursor to the left one (1) digit.
‒ Press Up to increase the value or press Down to decrease the value.
4. Adjust the setting as needed.
5. Deselect the digits and return to the menu.
