Mounting
The Speed Control Box (SCB) attaches directly to the Studio. Press the release knob on the SCB port cover and
slide the cover towards the back of the camera to remove it. Position the SCB on the camera in place of the
cover, and slide forwards to lock it.
Note: If a Manual Control Box is attached to the camera, it must be removed to allow fitting of the SCB.
The SCB can also be linked by Cable KC 65-S (3m/9ft) or KC 69-S (15m/45ft) to the CAC connectors of the
Studio and Lite, either on its own, or in combination with other accessories if the Remote Control Station is
used. These cables can be extended a further 50m/165ft by using the Cable Drum.
Speed control
The SPEED CONTROL switch determines which functions are active.
ON Fps 1 (with 0.001 fps accuracy), Fps 2 and the ramp time can be set and monitored. Forward and
reverse run can be set with the DIRECTION switch. The fps setting of the SCB has priority over the set-
ting of the Camera Control Panel. Automatic speed/shutter and speed/iris ramps can be programmed
and executed.
SYNC The SCB can synchronize the camera’s frame rate to an external signal, e.g. video, another camera or projector.
OFF The SCB controls neither speed nor shutter. Only the RUN, BRIGHT and iris OPEN/CLOSE buttons still work.
Setting frame rate and direction
Set the SPEED CONTROL switch to on. Enter the desired frame rate with the FPS 1 selector. Select FWD or REV
with the DIRECTION switch. If the Manual Control Box is connected to the camera, make sure its MANUAL
CONTROL switch is set to OFF or .
Note: Reverse run is not possible with Lite magazines .
