The Mini Pro is basically a smaller version of our popular Proteân Remote Head in a fixed size. It uses the same direct drive technology and has various options such as lens drivers and IP connectivity. See MP dimensions.

It is ideally suited for small ‘box’ type cameras like the Z-Cam and Panasonic cameras.

Connection and control is the same as all our other remote heads via RS485 or via the IP option.  Fibre options are also available.

There is a status display on the side of the unit which has many pages of information and can also assist in trouble shooting.  The pages are scrolled from the Multi Function Controller which can also echo the display on its central screen.

 

Metadata                                              

Positional feedback (metadata) is essential for both virtual and augmented reality and any application under computer control. 16bit, metadata is output continuously on to the IP network which is the most common way of using the data.

Lens Control                                                     

Lens control options are either vis 12 pin Hirose connectors, for broadcast lenses or Lemo connectors for Lens servos like the PD Movie servos.

Camera CCU Control                                        

Various camera CCU control protocols can be built-in or you can choose the RS422 or RJ45 connection between the base and the camera connections.

Motion Control                                             

Up to 64 pre-set positions can be stored and recalled in the head. (depending on controller) Each position includes, Pan, Tilt, Zoom and Focus positions.  Once stored, the positions are saved during power loss.

 

A major feature of the Mini Pro is that it always does a Motion Controlled Profile Move to each pre-set position. The profile of this move can be specified by the operator using our standard Multi Function Controller. All axes, Pan, Tilt, Zoom & Focus, will move in the same amount of time to the specified position. A default time is automatically stored, but can be adjusted at any time. Total Time, Ramp Up time, and Ramp Down time can be adjusted by the operator for each position independently.

Full positional motion control can be achieved by using any number of motion control systems.
