HS-102P pan and tilt head
Introduction and description
The HS-102P is a small profile versatile remote pan and tilt head that can be wall mounted, hung
from a ceiling bracket or mounted on to a pedestal or tripod. The head is designed to support a
wide range of camera and lens combinations, weighing up to 16 kg (35 lbs). The head delivers
high speed and accuracy in very tight spaces and is ideally suited for use in government
proceedings, delivering distance learning between campuses and documenting scientific
meetings.
The extremely rigid mechanical design and high precision servo technology ensures that the
head provides broadcast quality smooth movement at all times, while still achieving outstanding
acceleration, working seamlessly with the Vinten Radamec Control system (VRC), Legislative
Control System or the MultiController II.
HS-102PE
The head is available in a weatherproof version (HS-102PE) designed to operate over an
extended temperature range of -20°C to +50°C / -4°F to 122°F. The head has weatherproof
connectors [12] and [13] for power and data. Note that the LEDs are removed. The standard
cover plate [10] on the studio head is replaced by a small housing that contains a desiccant
capsule.
HS-102P-IT
For Virtual Studios there is a version of the head (HS-102P-IT) that has a factory fitted Image
Tracker that fits to the head cover plate [10]. The head and Image Tracker combines Autocam
robotics with electronic positioning encoders and data capture and transmission electronics.
Providing real-time digital electronic positioning of pan and tilt movement as well as lens zoom
and focus, the HS-102P-IT is especially suitable for interfacing with any virtual set.
HS-102P-ITE
The virtual studio head (HS-102P-IT) is available in a weatherproof version. The Image Tracker
cover plate [15] is replaced by a small housing that contains a desiccant capsule.
Native Lens Drive options
The Native Lens Drive (NLD) is suitable for operation with current full-servo broadcast Canon
and Fujinon lenses. The NLD provides analogue and digital lens drive outputs for the control of
modern full-servo Superbox and ENG lenses through plug-in cables rather than a fitted lens
bracket. The cables can be easily unplugged when the camera is required for use elsewhere,
and then reconnected within seconds.
The NLD communicates with the lens software allowing for easy interchangeability. Lens
calibration for zoom and Focus control starts automatically at power up and takes less than a
second for serial for serial control or up to 40 seconds for analogue control. No further manual
intervention is required once the NLD is installed and configured.

Electrical Connections
Power supply connection
The head is powered by either a rack mounted power supply (AM-PS27-5R) or a modular power
supply (AM-PS30-2). A combined power/data floor cable (AM-SP-CAB-XXX) connects between
the power supply and the Power/data connector on the head. The floor cable supplies the head
with power and data communications (to/from) the controller. Note that the environmental heads
(HS-102PE and HS-102-ITE) are supplied with an environmental floor cable (AM-HLE-CABXXX) suitable for external installations.
1. Connect the appropriate floor cable from the HS-102P power supply to the head.
2. Connect AC power to the power supply.
Controller connection
The data connection between the controller and the head power supply is RS-422 data. The
VRC and LCS controller systems use data cable part number AM-LDD-CAB-XXX, and the
Multicontroller II system uses data cable part number AM-DD-CAB-XXX.
1. Connect the appropriate data cable from the controller to the HS-102P power supply.
Lens drive connection
The lens drive used with the head depends on the type of lens being used. The head can be
supplied with either the generic AutoCam servo lens drives (AM-SLD-102OE), the Vinten
Radamec native lens drives (AM-NLD-FED or AM-NLD-CED) or the video conference lens
interface (AM-VCL-IF).
Autocam servo lens drive
The servo lens drive can be mounted onto Fujinon or Canon lens. Connect the servo lens drive
cable to the lens connector on the head. If the lens drive requires adjustment, contact Vinten
Radamec for advise on setup and configuration.
Native lens drive
When using the head with the Vinten Radamec native lens drive, the floor cable is connected to
the NLD adaptor cable (V3990-5005) that provides connection between the head and the native
lens drive assembly (Fig. 9).

The NLD interface is usually attached with heavy duty velcro to the main cover or to another
convenient location on the head. For installation and configuration of the NLD, refer to the
Operator Guide for the Native Lens Drive (Publication part no. V3977-4980).
HS-102PE with NLD
The NLD interface is not weatherproof. When used with the environmental version of the head
HS-102PE, the NLD must be installed inside an environmental enclosure. A NLD adaptor cable
with environmental connectors is supplied specifically for external installations. The connector
on the adaptor cable that connects with the floor cable may need to be removed and reinstalled
to permit installation of the NLD inside the environmental housing.
Video conference lens interface
The video conference lens drive interface (AM-VCL-IF) is mounted onto the camera lens.
Connect the cable from the lens interface to the lens connector on the head. If the lens drive
requires adjustment, contact Vinten Radamec for advise on setup and configuration.
CAUTION!
The installation of the HS-102PE head with NLD should only be performed
by competent and trained personnel.
21
HS-102P pan and tilt head
Mounting and balancing the payload
For proper operation it is very important that the load is properly balanced mechanically with the
centre of gravity (C of G) set exactly on the tilt axis.
1. Start with the camera cradle level.
2. Position the camera on the camera cradle and attach using bolts through the camera cradle
into the base of the camera. Leave the bolts just loose enough to be able to slide the
camera backwards and forwards.
3. Mount the lens (with the lens drive assembly installed) on the camera (if it was not already
installed).
4. Mount any other ancillary equipment such as tally lights etc.
5. Slide the camera back and forth until the overall payload feels balanced horizontally about
the tilt axis of the head. Tighten the bolts in the base of the camera and recheck the
horizontal balance. Readjust if necessary.
6. Tilt the camera approximately 30° upward and release it. If the camera stays in the same
position when released, the payload is properly balanced with the C of G on the tilt axis.
However, if the camera continues to move upwards after releasing the camera cradle, the
payload is mounted too high - lower the camera cradle. If the camera moves back towards
the horizontal position when released, the payload is mounted too low - raise the camera
cradle.
7. Mark the fore and aft position of the camera on the camera cradle so that it can be reinstalled in the same position. Remove the camera from the camera cradle.
8. Note or mark the vertical position of the camera cradle to make sure that you move it in the
desired direction. Loosen the two camera cradle screws and raise or lower the cradle as
necessary. Tighten the screws securely.
9. Remount the payload and repeat step 6 to check the balance. Move the camera cradle
again if necessary until balance is achieved.
22
Operators guide
Configuration
Range limits
The factory default settings for the head clip (range limit) parameters for pan, tilt, zoom and focus
are stored in non-volatile memory in the head. If the range limits require adjustment, contact
Vinten Radamec or advise on setting the range limits.
Pan/Tilt direction
When the head is ceiling mounted, the pan and/or tilt senses can be reversed. Contact Vinten
Radamec for advise on changing the pan and tilt senses.
23
HS-102P pan and tilt head
Operation
The head has no external switches or controls. The head is operated remotely from the controller
using the joystick control panel or controller software. Always refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the controller for information on panning and tilting the head, and operating the
camera lens zoom and focus.
Joystick control
When the head is operated using the control joystick panel (Fig. 10):
Push the joystick left and right to pan the head. Depending on your preference, the
joystick sense can be configured so that pushing the joystick left causes the head to pan
to the left or to the right.
Push the joystick up and down to tilt the camera cradle on the head. Depending on your
preference, the joystick sense can be configured so that pushing the joystick up causes
the camera cradle to tilt up or tilt down.
Twist the joystick knob to zoom the lens in or out. Depending on your preference, the
sense of the zoom knob can be configured so that twisting clockwise causes the lens to
zoom in or zoom out.
Note that a separate Focus knob is provided on the control joystick panel to adjust the camera
lens focus.
Indicators
Two indicator LEDs are located on the connector plate of the HS-102P and HS-102P-IT. The
environmental versions HS-102PE and HS-102P-ITE do not have indicators. The power LED [7]
illuminates when DC power is supplied to the head from the power supply. The data LED [5]
illuminates when control data is supplied to the head from the controller.

Maintenance
Routine maintenance
The head is a highly reliable and stable product that requires minimal routine maintenance. Apart
from checking balance and overall operation periodically, the head requires no other routine
maintenance.
Checking balance
It is recommended that balance is checked at least once a month to ensure proper operation and
to reduce excessive wear on the drive train and potential overheating. An unbalanced load may
also affect servo operation and responsiveness. Unless the mounting screws are loose, the
balance should only change if the camera is moved back and forth, or if the payload has been
changed.
Checking the desiccant (PE and ITE versions)
The desiccant capsule should be periodically inspected and changed (if necessary) on the
environmental versions of the head (HS-102PE and HS-102-ITE).
1. Locate the desiccant housing [21] on the main cover ([10] Fig. 2) of the HS-102PE or on the
cover ([15] Fig.4) of the Image Tracker assembly on the HS102P-ITE.
2. Remove the twelve screws [22] securing the desiccant housing.
3. Remove the housing [21] and place to one side.
4. Inspect the desiccant capsule. If the capsule is blue in colour, the capsule does not require
replacement. If it is violet in colour, the capsule must be replaced.
5. Refit the desiccant housing [21] and secure into position using the twelve screws [22].
