Q3 – Operation Manual

As well as speed adjustment there are settings for 'damping'. The 'takeoff' damping sets the

speed of acceleration of the head if the joystick is moved rapidly towards a high speed.

'Slowdown' damping allows the head to decelerate slowly even if the joystick is moved

rapidly back to its centre position. The 'reverse' damping sets how fast the head can

change direction and will override the other damping settings if the joystick is moved from

one direction past the centre point to the opposite direction.

The RCP has a number of additional functions compared to the earlier QBall. There is a

'Bars' test function which is useful when lining up the camera into a studio or OB truck. The

white balance button can now operate in 'Manual Colour Control' mode, i.e. in the same

mode that allows operation of the colour control knobs.

Both Mirror and Flip picture reverses are available. The Flip can be used if the head is

mounted upside down although this is not essential as the head can be turned through

180deg to achieve the same effect!

Another major difference between Q3 and the earlier QBall is that the camera format is set

from the RCP ENG menu. This is described in detail later in this manual.

Also, the OSD (On Screen Display) menus allow access to changing some camera

functions which are not available directly from the RCP. If any changes are made to these

functions not available on the RCP, then they will be saved when exiting from the OSD

menu screen and will remain unchanged even when the 'Update Camera' button is

pressed. These functions include such things as WDR (Wide Dynamic Range), AE Peak,

Eclipse and De-fog.

The other major improvement available with Q3 is the addition of a Genlock function. This

avoids the need for a synchroniser when using Q3 with other cameras into a mixing point.

The timing can be adjusted from the RCP>ENG menu. Vertical timing adjusts by one line

for each setting change (up to a maximum of 15 lines) and Horizontal timing adjusts in pixel

steps. Note that there may be some picture disturbance when making timing adjustments.

The genlock signal can be any analogue video signal with the same frame rate as the

camera format.

The Interface Box also provides a 'composite' video output which will be either PAL or

NTSC depending on the camera format being used. This can be used for feeding a local

SD monitor.

Fiber Card Option

The optional fiber card fits inside the interface box at the rear. If you wish to upgrade a

system to include the fiber card then there is a separate document (supplied with the

upgrade kit), to describe how to fit the card into the interface box.

No external wiring to the interface box connectors is required. The audio data signal on the

fiber is connected internally and the green data LED on the front panel should light as

normal when a data signal is present.

The genlock video signal is also internally connected but DIP 4 must be set to OFF to select

this input rather than the BNC on the rear panel.
