I J MDR.X MOTR.
POWER AND CONNECT 1 Connect power to the receiver’s PWR port (N). 2 Attach the motor(s) to the rods/lens. 3 Connect the motor(s) to the receiver using a 4-pin connector. If connecting two or more motors, use a 4-pin to 4-pin connector to daisy-chain them together. The motor(s) will then begin calibrating. 4 Insert an LP-E6 battery in the controller, then press the REC/PWR (B) button to turn on the controller.
CAMERA RUN/STOP 1 2 Connect a camera cable from the CAM/Control port on the receiver to the camera, then navigate to MENU>CAMERA on the CTRL.3 to indicate which camera you have connected. Press the REC button on the controller (C) to start/stop recording on the camera. NOTE: If using a RED camera, the camera serial communication setting must be set to RCP (Redlink Command Protocol) for the unit to operate.
Controller Status LED The controller status LED indicates when the system is ON and provides the system’s current status during operation. • OFF - Unit is powered off • YELLOW - No wireless connection • RED - Camera is recording • ORANGE - PC/Bootloader mode • WHITE - Checking RF module status • GREEN - Wireless is synched • BLUE - Wired-mode connection LENS MAPPING The LENSMAP menu lets you create your own lens map(s) according to lens manufacturer and lens type.
4 5 For prime lenses you will be prompted to create an Iris table. For zoom lenses, you will be prompted to create a focal length table, then an iris table after. Make sure a motor is attached to the corresponding ring, and both the motor and controller are set to the same class (Focus, Iris, Zoom). Move the controller knob so that the motor adjusts the lens ring to the smallest mark. 6 Using the Up and Down buttons on the controller, enter the corresponding mark, then select OK.
LENS DATA OVERLAY SmallHD monitors include a Lens Data Overlay feature that displays your CTRL.3 lens map on the monitor. Below are steps to enable the Lens Data Overlay feature. 1 2 From the controller, navigate to LENS>LENSMAP and select one of the configured lens maps. 3 Press the MENU button to return to the main menu, then navigate to ADV>SMALLHD. 4 Select YES to activate SmallHD Comms. 5 7 Update your CTRL.3 controller and SmallHD monitor to the latest firmware.
FIZ LIMITS CTRL.3 limit buttons allow you to set a limit range for either the Focus, Iris, or Zoom controls. Setting limits restricts the motor from adjusting the lens past a set limit. 1 Move the input to the high or low end of the limit you want to set. 2 Press and hold down the limit button for the corresponding axis (H). 3 While continuing to hold down the limit button, move the input to the other end of the limit you want to set, then release. The limit range is now set.
