SELECT / ADJUST KNOB (Red Knob)

The Red Select / Adjust switch has a large red knob and is located in the lower left corner of the

CineTape2. This multifunctional push and turn switch is the primary method for changing and selecting

the various features of the CineTape2.

Momentarily pushing (click) the Red Knob, or pushing and holding (hold) the Red Knob selects a mode or

saves a selected value. Rotating the Red Knob adjusts the selected function. Clockwise rotation

increases the adjustment and counter clockwise rotation decreases the adjustment.

SETTING the FOCAL-PLANE OFFSET

It is necessary to calibrate the Horns in relation to the focal-plane when setting-up the CineTape2.

To do this, aim the camera package, with the Sensor Horns attached, at a flat stationary object, such as a

wall or clap board, that is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the Focal-Plane. With a standard (ordinary) tape

measure, determine the exact distance between the Focal-Plane and the stationary object. Enter the

Focal-Plane adjustment mode, by pushing the Red Knob for two seconds. Release the knob when the

yellow Focal-Plane LED indicator glows. Then rotate the red knob to change the displayed distance

reading to match the, standard tape, measured distance. Save this distance into memory by momentarily

pushing (click) the red knob. This also returns the CineTape2 to normal operation and turns the yellow

Focal-Plane LED indicator off. If the position of the Horns changes with respect to the Focal-Plane, then

recalibration is required.
