16 Ignite JSC-2300 SHOT Director Robotics/Camera Controller Instruction Manual

Overview

Section 1

The Ignite™ JSC-2300 SHOT Director™ Robotics/Camera Controller
(Figure 1) is a unique, multiple-camera control device combining pan/tilt
and camera control. This SHOT Director controller provides professional­quality, fingertip control of up to 16 total Ignite SDC/HDC robotic cam­eras.

Note For questions regarding the installation or operation of the cameras, refer to

the manual included with the camera.

Figure 1. SHOT Director Robotics/Camera Controller

The Ignite SHOT Director controller was designed to provide a single­camera operator the ability to operate multiple robotic cameras from one
clean, functional joystick console. Camera presets for each camera are
easily programmed and recalled with the push of a few buttons. Focus and
iris settings are adjusted via two wheels located on the left side of the SHOT
Director controller. Twin sliders provide precise, smooth camera control
for variable pan/tilt and zoom speed. The joystick integrates pan, tilt and
zoom into one high quality joystick.

The backlit LCD display provides:

• Camera movement readouts

• Individual camera CCU setting adjustment on the fly without compro­mising video

• Store and recall up to 300 presets for each of 16 cameras total

The SHOT Director controller utilizes TCP/IP subnet connectivity to
control up to 16 cameras on a single network. Subnetting requires an eth­ernet hub with enough ports to support the site configuration.

Section 2 — Functional Description

The SHOT Director controller provides the camera trigger and preset/
manual control commands (pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris) to the robotic head
and camera/lens assembly. Camera settings menus stored in the camera
block can be accessed and changed on-the-fly using the SHOT Director
controller.

The robotic head processes the pan and tilt inputs and moves the camera to
the commanded location. It passes zoom and focus commands to the lens
assembly. It also provides a communication path between the camera head
and SHOT Director controller (for configuration and status monitoring),
and provides 12 V dc to power the camera block.

The camera block receives 12 V dc power from the robotic head, tally (red
and amber) dry contact control from a tally controller, and facility supplied
gen-lock (sync). The camera provides iris control to the lens assembly,
status and configuration menu access to the SHOT Director controller
(through the robotic head assembly), and produces SDI video out to station
switching and processing equipment.

SHOT Director Controller and Ignite Automated Production
Control System

The SHOT Director controller and SDC/HDC robotic cameras can operate
stand-alone or as an integrated part of an Ignite automated production
control system. (Figure 3).

bits in serial form (one bit after another),
along a single wire. Standard Definition seri­al digital video (SMPTE 259M) operates at
270 Mbits/sec (2 x 13.5 MHz x 10 bits).

O

P

PAL (Phase Alternate Line)

A 625 line 50 interlaced fields per second an­alog broadcast standard used in many parts
of the world, primarily Europe, but not the
U.S.A. So named because the chroma sub sig­nal phase is different on each successive scan
line to reduce picture artifacts.

Pixel

A picture element. A pixel is a digital sample
of the luminance and color values of a pic­ture at a single point.

The SDI standard uses data words that are 8
or 10 bits in length. Signals are uncom­pressed and are self-synchronizing between
the source (transmitter) and destination (re­ceiver). A signal in SDI can contain up to four
independent digital audio signals along with
the video signal.

Serial Interface

An interface which allows the switcher to be
controlled remotely by a computer editor or
other serial controller. Data is passed serially
between the editor and the switcher at select­able baud (transmission) rates.

S/N (Signal to Noise) Ratio

The amount of desired signal as compared to
undesired signal. A way of measuring how
good a picture or a sound will be. The higher
the ratio between the desired type of signal
and the unwanted noise, the better the re­sults.

Source

1) An external device providing video. A
source may provide only one video signal, or
it may provide two signals (key fill and key
cut).

2) The video signal(s) from a source, along
with the source definition information asso­ciated with that source. See Source Defini­tion.

Subnet Mask

In the Internet Protocol (IP), a subnet (or sub­network) is a division of a classful network.
Subnetting allows a single large network to
be broken down into what appear (logically)
to be several smaller ones. A network mask,
also known as a subnet mask, netmask or
address mask, is a bitmask used to tell how
many bits in an octet(s) identify the subnet­work, and how many bits provide room for
host addresses. They are typically used to de­termine whether to send a packet to the
MAC address of the default gateway (for
packets with destinations outside the subnet)
or of the actual machine (for inside the sub­net).

Switcher

A device that accepts inputs from a variety of
video sources and allows the operator to se­lect a particular source to be sent to the
switcher's output(s). Also does transitions
between sources and special effects (video
mixing, wiping, keying, and such).

Sync

(1) General term for a synchronizing signal
or signal component. Digital systems gener­ally employ an analog external timing refer­ence signal (such as color black or tri-level
sync) to synchronize different pieces of
equipment. Within the digital signal itself,
however, synchronizing information is car­ried by special digital codes inserted at the
beginning and end of each active line.

(2) In analog television systems, sync is the
portion of the video signal which occurs dur­ing blanking and is used to synchronize the
operation of cameras, monitors, and other
equipment. Horizontal sync occurs within
the blanking period in each horizontal scan­ning line, and vertical sync occurs within the
vertical blanking period. A color black signal
is often used for synchronizing different
pieces of analog equipment.

T

Tally

A lighted indication that the associated vid­eo source is in use. Tally lights may be in
front of a camera to show that it is the camera
being used at that moment, or they may be
used to light up the pushbuttons of video
switchers.

Terminate, Termination

To complete a circuit by connecting a resis­tive load to it.

TFT

Thin-film Transistor. Often called “active
matrix” display, this is the brightest, most
viewable kind of LCD flat-panel display. It is
also more expensive than “passive matrix”
screens. In a TFT display, each pixel is active­ly controlled by one or more transistors.

60 Ignite Glossary

TTL (Through-the-Lens)

Term used to describe a type of prompter. A
TTL prompter mounts horizontally in front
of the camera. A glass screen mounted 45°
above the prompter reflects the script so that
the announcer can read the text while look­ing at the camera behind the screen.
