A15.0: Control Coordinated Slide and Pan for a PTZ Camera with Maestro

A15.0 architecture: Control Coordinated Slide and Pan for a PTZ Camera with Maestro

Features:

  • Motorized beltless Dana Dolly with track sensors
  • Coordinated slide and pan motion from the eMotimo Rotator; use the PTZ camera’s own controls for its other axes
  • Physical inputs for every eMotimo axis of control
  • Tune live-control speed and feel for each axis, map axes to the preferred inputs, and reverse direction when needed
  • Maestro automatically discovers eMotimo controllers on the same network
  • Set and recall 30 timed, cinematic presets
  • Set and run 8 timed, cinematic loops
  • Power-on positioning gets the system ready within five minutes of startup. Saved presets and loops load automatically, so operators do not have to recreate their shots each time they power on.
  • Switch between connected camera rigs from Maestro’s touchscreen or built-in Stream Deck keys
  • Wall power for Conductor SA2.6 and the PTZ camera

What do you need from eMotimo?

What else do you need from a third party?

  • Dana Dolly with round track and stands
  • PTZ camera of your choice
  • Ethernet cabling and a network connection for Maestro and Conductor SA2.6
  • Wall power for Conductor SA2.6 and the PTZ camera (Conductor AC adapter included with the bundle; use the camera’s compatible AC supply)

Steps to program:

  1. Power on Conductor SA2.6 and Maestro on the same network. Maestro discovers the controller automatically.
  2. Select the rig on Maestro. Use its physical inputs to frame the shot and adjust axis mapping, speed, and feel.
