Figure 1. Ignite SDC/HDC Robotic Camera Both SDC and HDC models feature internet protocol (IP) control, con- verged pan/tilt/focus/zoom operation for seamless on-air movements, fast pan and tilt speed (90°/s maximum), 300 location presets, 600 seconds of movement recalls, super-quiet operation <30 dBm @ 1 m, integrated...

  • Page 18: Hardware Description

    To order SDC/HDC Robotic Camera hardware and accessories listed in this manual, refer to Contacting Grass Valley on page SDC/HDC robotic cameras contain a camera block with integrated tally light, mounted on a robotic pan/tilt head and pedestal mount. HDC models come with either premium or standard lens.

  • Page 19: Ethernet Hub

    Optional Mounting Hardware Ethernet Hub An Ethernet hub, (10/100/1000 Base TX, auto-sensing) is required to connect up to 16 Ignite SDC/HDC robotic cameras to a JSC-2300 SHOT Director robotics/camera controller. Optional Mounting Hardware The following optional mounting hardware is recommended for use with Ignite SDC/HDC robotic cameras.

  • Page 20: Robotic Camera And Shot Director

    Section 1 — Overview 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 (for configuration and status monitoring), and pro- vides 12 V dc to power the camera block.
