Manual

the pedestal control joystick (16) only allows robotic height movement. This feature prevents accidental ped-

estal travel while rotating the pedestal control joystick (16) to adjust camera height.

Bumper disable

The bumper disable button (5) turns off the pedestal bumper protection—which arrests SP-2000 and RP2A

pedestal travel on contact with an obstacle. It does not affect Fusion pedestals.

Target disable

The target disable button (6) prevents the selected Radamec RP2A pedestal using the optical studio targets.

The selected pedestal will continue to use the dead reckoning positional system alone.

Panel disable

The panel disable button (7) locks all other controls on the panel to prevent accidental operation.

Backup link

The backup link button (8) gives priority control to the joystick control panel in the unlikely event of a VRC Sys-

tem crash, so that Radamec robotic heads can still be operated.

Configure joystick settings

All default control directions may be reversed to suit the operator. To access these ‘stick settings’, proceed as

follows:

1. Select MENU (35) > SHOW MANAGEMENT > CONFIGURATION.

2. The stick settings section lists PAN (52), TILT (53), ZOOM (39), FOCUS (40) and ELEVATION (41)

toggle-buttons. Repeatedly selecting these buttons will toggle the control-reversal function on and off.

If a button (52), (53), (39), (40) or (41) is coloured blue, then the function is active and control direction

will be reversed.

Refer to Camera zoom/pan and tilt head control joystick and Pedestal control joystick on page

26 for default joystick directions.

3. Select RETURN (48) to return to the main screen.

Note: If ALWAYS ENABLE DRIVE (42) is selected in the system software (refer to ‘Always enable

drive’ on page 32), the joystick control panel will have the JOYSTICK ENABLE function (4)

activated by default.

Note: If ALWAYS DISABLE BUMPERS (44) is selected in the system software (refer to ‘Always

disable bumpers’ on page 33), the joystick control panel will have the BUMPER DISABLE

function (5) activated by default.

Note: This function only affects Radamec RP2A pedestals.

Note: This function only affects Radamec heads.
