4. Introduction

General Description:

The WRC-2 is a modern and user friendly remote­control and program unit for all new-generation

ARRIFLEX and ARRICAM cameras. It combines the
functionality of the RCU-1 and WRC-1. Beyond that,

Introduction

the WRC-2 provides unique new features and due to
the touchscreen user interface, remote controlling a
camera was never faster and easier.

The range of functions is automatically adapted to
the attached camera. Since the functionality of the
WRC-2 is software based and therefore expandable,
we are looking on the most exible Remote Control

Unit, ARRI has ever provided.

Setups:

In the standard version, the WRC-2 enables the user
to remotely control

- the camera speed

- the shutter angle of the mirror shutter
providing a wide range of compensation options for

constant exposure via an easy an intuitive to use

software.

Automatic xposure Calculation:

Furthermore the WRC-2 automatically calculates the

correct exposure value for given ramps (speed, iris

or shutter) based on the measurements made by the

DOP on the set. This is a new and unique feature, only

available through the WRC-2. The complete ramp
data can now easily be entered in the clear arranged
Ramp Menu, guiding the user through the sometimes

very complex process of programming a ramp. Thus,
the WRC-2 is a very powerful tool that saves time
and provides a new level of exposure-safety and

precision.

Simulator Software:

To make yourself familiar with the unit before using it
on the lmset, we offer a WRC-2 simulator software,

that can be downloaded via our website.

Upload new Software Modules:

New released software modules or software updates

can be uploaded just by connecting an USB stick to
the WRC-2 mini-USB port.

10

Ramp Compensation with and without LDS Lenses:

The WRC-2 can automatically compensate speed
and iris ramps. In order to compensate the ramps by
the iris, a CLM-1 or CLM-2 motor has to be attached
to the camera and the mounted lens has to be
selected in the WRC-2. This is done automatically
when using LDS lenses (Master Prime or LDS Ultra
Prime). For other lenses an Iris Table can be easily

created following a few steps in the Lens Manager.

The lens can then be stored in the WRC-2 internal
memory.

Modular System

The WRC-2 works with the ARRI Wireless Remote
Control system and attaches to the Wireless Main
Unit WMU-2 and WMU-3.
It can be wired to an ARRIFLEX or ARRICAM either
directly or via a Wireless Handgrip Attachmend
WHA–2 or WHA-3 using a standard LCS cable.

The knob module can be removed to keep the unit as

small as possible, if desired.

Introduction

11

5. Setup

5.1 WRC-2 in wireless mode

Setup

Transmitting:

In order to be able to use the WRC-2 in wireless
mode, it must be mounted on a Wirless Main
Unit (WMU-2 or WMU-3) as a transmitter. The
Main Unit supplies the WRC-2 with power and
establishes the radio link with the camera.
Up to three WMU can be used simultaneously,

therefore the WRC-2 can be controled by one
operator while e.g. the focus unit can be controlled
by another operator. Please refer to the LCS
instruction manual for further details.

Receiving:

On the camera side, a receiver is needed. When
using ARRICAM cameras, the receiver is built
in the Lens Data Box. When using 435, the
receiver is the Universal Radio Module (URM-3).
This device has to be mounted to the Function
Expansion Module (FEM-1 or FEM-2) When
using other cameras, the Universal Radio Module
(URM-3) can be used as a receiver.

12

5.2 Mounting the WRC-2 on
the WMU-3 or WMU-2

● Switch off the Wirless Main Unit WMU by pressing
the ON/OFF button.

● With the wide black pin pointing forward, insert the
WRC-2 into the free space on the WMU. Then press

the WRC-2 onto the WMU until the module audibly
snaps into position.

● Select the same radio channel on the WMU and on
the receiver (e.g. Lens Data Box)

Note:
The WRC-2 can not be mounted on a WMU-3
together with other modules without using the
Wireless Expansion Bracket (WEB-3).

Note:

Do not seperate the hand control units from one

another when they are switched on, as this can
result in randomly set lens limits.

Lens Manager Menu Functions

In order to compensate ramps via the iris or to display

iris values in the Camera Control Menu, one of the
following two requirements must be fullled:

1.) Using a Lens with Lens Data System:

In this case the iris information will be transfered via a

Lens Control System (LCS) Unit to the camera.
LCS Units are e.g.: Lens Data Box, FEM-2, UMC-3 or

ARRIFLEX 416 Plus (electronics side cover). Therefore

creating an Iris Table is not necessary.
To register and calibrate the lens:

● Connect a lens motor to the LCS Unit.

Lens Manager Menu

● Start the calibration process via the „CAL“ Button in
the Lens Manager Menu.

Alternatively the CAL button on the WHA-2/3 or

WMU-2/3 can be used. If no ramp compensation is
intended, the iris ring of the LDS ring can be turned
to enable the display of the iris values in the Camera

Control Menu.

2.) Using a Lens without LDS:

In this case, an Iris Table for the Non-LDS-Lens has
to be created manually in the Lens Manager Menu and

loaded into the LDB or Universal Remote Controller
(UMC-3). See Chapter 13.2.
All created Iris Tables will be stored permanently in the

internal ash-memory of the WRC-2 and simultaneously
displayed in the User Iris List for a quick access.

Iris Tables can be removed from the User Iris List for

a better clarity, however, they will remain stored in the

User Folder System from where they can be added to

the User Iris List again.

14. Ramp Control Menu

In the Ramp Control Menu speed and shutter ramps

can be programmed. After enabling the Iris Control,
also iris ramps can be performed. If a speed ramp is

to be compensated by iris and shutter simultaneously,
the ratio of both values can be mixed via the
Compensation Mix Slider.

Status Window

The actual status and position of the ramp is shown

in the Ramp Display by the yellow arrows. When

the ramp is performed, the arrows move along the
ramp display from the start values to the end values
providing a clear situational awareness of the running

ramp.

The Exposure Calculator helps calculating the working
T-stop. Simply measure the light on the set with your
light meter and standard settings (e.g. 24fps, 250ASA)
and enter the measured T-stop in the calculator (T­stop input window). The working T-stop that has to be
set on the lens will then be computed and displayed
in the Ramp Display. When the Iris Control is enabled,
the iris will be set automatically to the correct value via
the lens motor.

14.2 Programming a Ramp

● Select the desired speed ramp function by clicking on

the corresponding control button. (e.g. „Speed“)

● Click on the start and end values of the ramp display
to edit the values. (e.g. 6fps and 96fps)

The ramp will always be perfomed from top to bottom.

Therefore in this example the upper value will be
the initial camera speed (6fps). The yellow marker

displays the current camera speed.

● Click in the Ramp Time Window to select the timing
control:

„Time“ = A user dened ramp time can be set

„Time min“ = The fastest ramp will be computed and

set by the WRC-2 automatically.

„Knob“ = The ramp can be controlled manually
via the WRC-2 Knob / Handwheel.

● After running the camera the ramp can be performed

by pushing the „Ramp“ button on the WRC-2

Make sure the keypad is not locked. To unlock the

pad press the „Lock/Unlock“ key for three seconds.

- To compensate the Speed Ramp refer to 14.3

- To change the Ramp Direction refer to 14.5

14.3 Exposure Compensation

Via the Ramp Menu three different exposure

compensation methods can be selected:

1.) Compensation via the Mirror Shutter

The camera has to be outtted with an electronic

adjustable mirror shutter.

● Check the compensation box of the shutter ramp

display. The shutter values will be computed by the
WRC-2. (e.g. 11,25 to 180 degrees)

RaMp ContRol Menu

2.) Compensation via the iris

A CLM-1 or CLM-2 motor needs to be mounted to the
camera and an iris table must be activated. Refer to

Ramp Control Menu

chapter 15.

● Check the „Iris“ box of the iris ramp display. The iris

values will be computed by the WRC–2

the ramp display. Use the Compensation Mix Slider
to adjust the ratio between iris and shutter in 5%
steps. To adjust the values in 1% steps, use the
Arrow Buttons on the WRC-2.

Red values:
The ramp calculation can result in values that can not
be accepted by the currently used camera or lens, e.g.
T-stop 32, or 10degree shutter angle.

In this case the value will be displayed in red.

Change the basic values, e.g. the speed, to keep the
calculated values in an acceptable range.
Example:

A speed change from 1 to 128 fps with shutter
compensation only is not possible since for

compensation seven T-stops are necessary (1-2-4-

8-16-32-64-128fps), but the shutter can only provide
four stops (180° -90°-45°-22,5°-11,25°). To solve the

problem, either reduce the speed range or enable the
iris compensation additionally.

14.4 Exposure Calculation

The exposure calculation is a very powerful feature of
the WRC-2. It reduces the workload of a ramp exposure
calculation to a simple transfer of the exposure value
from a light meter to the WRC-2.
Once the working f-stop for a shot is determined by the DP

and entered in the WRC-2, all exposure compensations
will be calculated automatically.

To Enable the Exposure Calculation:

● In the Ramp Menu click on „Options“

● Check „Enable“ in the Exposure Meter Window

● Enter speed and shutter values of the exposure meter

that is used on the set. (values will be stored)

● Click „Exit“ to go back to the Ramp Menu

Use the Exposure Calculation:

● Measure the light to determine the working f-stop.

● Click on the „Exposure Meter“ Window and enter the
working f-stop by using the sliders.

● Read the calculated f-stop in the Iris Display and set

the iris value on the lens.

Note: Since there is no compensation selected,
the current settings will lead to a two stop

underexposure. See the Exp. Diff. (Exposure
Difference) indicator window.

RaMp optionS Menu

Ramp Control Menu

RaMp ContRol Menu

14.5 Compensation Free Style

After selecting a compensation method for a desired ramp
(e.g. 100-25fps) the WRC-2 will compute the necessary
compensation values (e.g. 180°-90° and T2.8-T4). The

„Compensation Free Style“ mode enables the user to

edit all values of a ramp independently, regardless of the

exposure compensation. With the „Exposure Meter“ on,

the ramp entry values (e.g. 100fps, 180°, T2.8) will still

be computed but they can now also be changed. The
resulting over- oder underexposure will be displayed by

the „Exp. Diff“ indicator (Exposure Difference)

Enable „Compensation Free Style“

● In the Ramp Control Menu, click on „Options“ to enter

Ramp Control Menu

the Ramp Options Menu.

● Activate „Comp Free Style“

● Click „Exit“ to go back to the Ramp Control Menu

● In the Ramp Control Menu, click on the desired value

(in our example we want to change the T-stop value

from T4 to T8)

Note the „Exp. Diff“ (Exposure Difference) indicator. After
changing the f-stop from T4 to T8, the indicator will show

„-2.0“. That means, with the current setting, the result
will be a two stop underexposure.

14.7 Ramp Example

Even though the WRC-2 can compute the correct

exposure values, a proper planning of the ramp is
recommended to understand and follow the calculations.
For this example we assume the following:

- The director wants to change the camera speed

between 3 and 24 fps manually.

- The exposure should be compensated by iris and
shutter simultaneously.

- Set up the WRC-2 and acquire the correct f-stop.

The WRC-2 could be set up as follows:

Ramp Control Menu

1.) In the Main Menu click on „Lens Manger“. Make
sure that the used lens is loaded and calibrated (see
Chapter 15) otherwise the iris compensation will not
be available.

2.) Start the Ramp Control Menu (from Main Menu).

3.) Click on „Options“ and enable the Ramp and
Exposure Meter Controls. Measure the light to

acquire the working f-stop and enter the value in the

yellow window. Make sure your lightmeter is set to

1/50 second or 24/25fps. Click EXIT to conrm.

4.) Click on „Speed“ and enter the start value „3“ and

the end value „24“ frames per second.

5.) Select „Knob“ from the Ramp Time Window to
enable the manual speed change.

6.) Activate „Shutter“ and „Iris“ compensation and
move the slider in the middle position to mix the
compensation ratio to 50% Iris and 50% Shutter.
Use the Arrow Buttons to adjust in small steps.

7.) Confirm the working f-stop or enter a new one if

the light has changed.

8.) Start the camera by pressing the RUN button and
control the speed change by turning the knob.
