C- MOUNT AND M42 MOUNT
A threaded C-mount or 'Universal' M42 lens
mount may be required for specialized optics,
such as microscopes for scientific imaging or
rugged lenses for harsh test applications. These
are specific to the T-Series camera, part #s
VRI-MNT-TSERIES-C; VRI-MNT-TSERIES-M42
INSTALLING A LENS MOUNT
Installing the lens mount is easy. For the
Nikon, Canon and PL options, remove the
four M4 socket screws that are attaching
the current lens mount. Ensure all shims
that are behind the mount are transferred
to the new mount and are attached using
the same screws.
To install the threaded C or M42 mount,
the adapter ring behind the Nikon Canon
or PL mount gets removed instead. This
adapter is attached using four M3 screws.
Ensure all electronic components in the adapter and Canon lens mount are protected
when installing or storing these items.
Any time the lens mount is removed, it's important to verify the back focus.
A proper backfocus ensures the lens will focus at infinity, and stay in focus
throughout its zoom range. A set of extra lens mount shims is included with
every lens mount in order to adjust the camera's back focus when necessary.
CASE WITH CUSTOM FOAM
A Pelican 1510 case with custom foam, specific
to T-Series cameras, is available. The case
features wheels and a handle and is a convenient
size for shipping or transportation. The foam
accommodates the camera body, a full set of
cables, a small lens or monitor and camera
manual. Part # VRI-CASE-TSERIES

SIDE MOUNTING BRACKET
When the sensor resolution is windowed vertically, the frame
rates are increased more than they would be when windowed
horizontally. This results in a horizontal aspect ratio, which is
ideal for objects that move side-to-side. However, for objects
that move vertically it may be beneficial to mount the camera
on its side. The T-Series mounting bracket provides four
stable, centered mounting points while ensuring proper
airflow. Part # VRI-TSERIES-SIDEMNT
Note that the distance from mounting surface to optical center
is not identical to the base when using the T-Series side mount.
VIEWFINDER & MONITOR OPTIONS
Viewfinders and monitors are available from third party sources, and are connected to the
camera's front SDI, HDMI and 4-pin Hirose VF Power port. These ports support small low
power monitors up to one amp. Larger devices must be powered from a separate source.
Vision Research sells a compatible on-camera monitor kit that includes a TVLogic 5.5"
OLED monitor, VF power cable and top camera mount, part # VRI-TVLOGIC-MONITOR-
055A-VF.
Additional 0.5m VF PWR cables for alternative monitors and viewfinders are available that
allow connection to an XLR4, a 2-pin Lemo or DC21 input.
WiFi ADAPTER FOR USB PORT
Wireless functionality exists with a USB WiFi adapter attached to the camera's USB port.
The USB adapter must support 802.11 protocol and it must have an RT5370 chipset for
compatibility. Vision Research sells a compatible adapter with part# VRI-USB-WIFI.
Ensure the adapter is installed when the camera boots up. Once connected, the WiFi
Network will be visible as the camera name. The password for the connection is:
'CameraConnect'
BATTERIES AND BACKUP POWER
The battery or backup power source must be able to output in the 20-28V range and supply at
least 8 Amps. The camera consumes maximum 150W with CineMag.
The camera ships with an XLR3 cable extension for power, which can be used with 24V battery
sources including 3rd party power station solutions that combine 2 or more 14.4V batteries.
