A21.0: Control Pan, Tilt, and FIZ with Maestro

A21.0 architecture: Spectrum Studio controlled by Maestro

Features:

  • Coordinated pan, tilt, and FIZ motion
  • 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
  • Battery or AC operation for Spectrum Studio
  • Camera payloads up to 15 lb
  • Power and control for Tilta Nucleus-M and Nucleus-M II FIZ motors

What do you need from eMotimo?

What else do you need from a third party?

  • Tripod
  • Two Tilta Nucleus-M or Nucleus-M II motors and the required cables
  • Optional: V-Mount or Gold Mount battery for mobile operation (Spectrum Studio includes an AC adapter)
  • Ethernet cabling and a network connection for Maestro and Spectrum Studio

Steps to program:

  1. Power on Spectrum Studio 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.
  3. Save the start and end positions as timed presets.
  4. Create a loop between those presets and set its move timing.
  5. Start and stop the loop from Maestro’s built-in Stream Deck keys.

At the next startup, power-on positioning restores the saved setup and gets the rig ready within five minutes.
