This remote or manual operation head includes internal VR processing electronics. This internal module benefits from an intuitive user interface display for set-up and diagnostic purposes. The display enables the user to select baud rate, measurement axes and reference source, and view real-time parameters such as lens barrel rotations, pan and tilt angles, and data packet count.

The head is fitted with two high-resolution self-referencing encoders with DSP technology, which detects the slightest movement of pan or tilt. These signals are then combined with measurements of zoom, focus and any other axes (such as x, y, height) and transmitted to the studio VR system as serial data.

The measurement electronics can be locked to video reference or polled by the VR system. The protocol has been integrated to all the major VR system suppliers.

The 436VR pan and tilt head will support a maximum payload of 50kg (110lbs) and is therefore suitable for ENG cameras/lenses with teleprompters. Adjustable fluid dampers and brakes ensure smooth operation when manual control is desired. The robust and reliable mechanical design assures problem-free operation over many years.
