> cmotion LCS System l introduction
On every film set…
…the cmotion system makes life easier
ergonomic design cmotion invested a lot in the development phase to offer the best and most efficient design possible. cmotion sought out to develop an LCS offering a completely new, innovative and ergonomic design. It is based on customer requirements. The system’s light-weight and ergonomics makes working with it a pleasure.
modular & multi-functional The modularity of the system makes it possible for the user to control the focus, iris and zoom motors in one single hand unit or control can be divided among various hand units, in various configurations between numerous users. You have the choice of working hardwired or wireless. Our system can be expanded easily; you can start with a small system (e.g. with a focus control system) and upgrade it anytime.
user friendly We would also like to point out the system’s user interface. It has been designed to be easy to comprehend and easy to use; operation is self-explanatory.

> cmotion LCS System l camin
The Components camin
The camin is the cmotion module that facilitates communication between the camera and the lens motors. It is the “brain” of the system. The camin can be mounted to the camera directly or anywhere near the camera. It communicates with other components of the LCS-system via cable or wireless. The camin enables you to control up to 3 motors film and video cameras The system is compatible with all commonly used digital servo motors from different manufacturers. The motor type is identified by
page 6/37
the camin automatically. The camin consists of various interfaces that can be used for various operations such as camera start/stop for diverse camera types and speed ramps. A wireless module is integrated into the camin; you can choose between 9 radio channels in the worldwide admitted 2.4 GHz band. The cmotion radio communication system is strong and reliable and guarantees reliability and efficiency on set. The camin also has an integrated cboost function. Regardless of the input voltage, the cboost function assures that the output voltage remains constant so that the motors always move at a constant speed. ENG lenses with an integrated motor can also be controlled directly.

camin light (single motor wireless lens control) – upon request In addition to the standard camin cmotion also offers a “light” version of the camin. The camin light is a smaller, single motor version of the cmotion motor control box. All digital motors can be attached to the camin light. The single motor, motor control box provides communication with all cmotion hand units and of course with the new czoom-II as well. Its compact design and light weight make it ideal for steadicam operation.

camin light (automatic iris control) – upon request cmotion will also be offering an automatic iris control unit for HD or other digital cameras. The “automatic iris control” camin light will enable the user to use cine style lenses together with digital cameras. Commonly used digital motors can be attached to the automatic iris control box. The camin light will facilitate communication between digital cameras and the cine style lenses. The camin light “automatic iris control” will receive camera information from the 12 pin Hirose lens connector and will automatically adjust the iris axis in accordance with the data it is receiving from the camera.

> cmotion LCS System l coperate
coperate
The coperate is the main hand unit of the LCS-system. It controls focus and iris, and consists of control units for
up to 2 motors camera run (for film and video cameras) wireless operation external adjustment of the torque integrated light for the marker ring internal antenna
The coperate is an ergonomic operation control unit that rests comfortably in the user’s hand. All control functions are provided wired and wireless. The coperate contains a handwheel and a slider to control the focus and iris motors. The cmotion zoom control unit, the czoom, can also be attached to the coperate. The focus pulling configuration gives the user control of one motor and from here the coperate can be expanded in several ways. It can be upgraded to a multifunctional 3 motor and camera control system. The user interface schema of the coperate has a clear and very comprehensive user’s structure. The torque of the handwheel can be adjusted by the user and the exchangeable marker rings are also available glow-in-the-dark upon request. Despite the robust casing the coperate is very lightweight. The funk module and battery receptacle have been integrated into the unit’s casing. The user can set operation range limits on the hand-wheel and the lens axis with the coperate. cmotion also offers an easy-to-use neck strap system, cstrap, so the user can hang the hand unit around their neck and have both hands free.

> cmotion LCS System l czoom
czoom
The czoom is the zoom extension module of the lens control system. It is modularly designed like all other cmotion components. The complete zoom control unit entails two pieces: the czoom and the chandlet. They can be attached to the pan-bar and over direct cable connection to the camin the user has full control of the zoom motor directly from the pan-bar. The czoom can also be attached directly to the coperate (without the chandle); in this configuration, three motors (focus, iris and zoom) can be controlled by one user. The czoom can also bes operated in stand-alone mode. This and many other features are what make the cmotion system a multifunctional, multi – user system which can be controlled by various users, in various wireless/ hard – wired combinations, adding to its total modularity. Example: the DP (or camera operator) is controlling the zoom and the camera assistant is controlling the focus. The DP can hardwire the czoom directly to the camin and the assistant can control the focus independently, wireless. If the camera is on a crane the DP can connect the czoom to the chandle and then via cable to the assistant’s coperate and control the zoom from the ground.

> cmotion LCS System l czoom II
czoom II The czoomII includes all operation functions necessary to control a zoom motor. It has an integrated display which reads out the actual zoom position and other relevant information. The czoom II can be attached to the pan-bar and can control a zoom motor and the camera directly. Optional a radio-module is included in the czoom II with an internal antenna and a battery receptacle which has been conveniently integrated into the handle. These allow for, when used together with the camin or the camin light, wireless control of the zoom lens motor. The czoom II is designed based on stringent ergonomic guidelines as are all cmotion units. Motor movement is controlled by a pressure key joystick and can be easily reached by the user’s thumb. There are zoom speed control buttons as well as a ZAP (zoom as fast as possible) button integrated into the czoom II; ENG lenses with an integrated zoom motor can be controlled directly. The czoom II can start and stop various cameras. The czoom II also offers the user a zoom value memory option. The zoom motor will move to any given position, previously entered by the user, each time the Recall button is pushed.

> cmotion LCS System l cdisplay
cdisplay
The cdisplay is a multi-functional monitor and control unit with a 3,8” TFT-screen. The monitor and its integrated touch-screen make for an easy-to-use and expandable control unit for lenses and cameras. The cdisplay can be connected directly to the camin in stand-alone mode (hardwired or wireless). By means of the cmotion fastening tool, the clamp, it can also be connected directly to the coperate. As you control the lens motors with the cmotion hand units an animated picture of the actual lens gear rings appears on the cdisplay screen. cmotion has developed various software modules for the cdisplay (see pages 18,19).

> cmotion LCS System l software l clensinfo, cdiscal
Software for the cdisplay
- clensinfo clensinfo is the cdisplay software module that reads out lens and camera information on the cdisplay screen. The software displays an animated depiction of the actual lens barrel and its movements. On the focus scale the hyperfocal is indicated with an “H” as well as focus near, focus far and the depth of field. The user can also make focus marker points on the focus scale using the coperate, camera status information is read out in the camera information window. The system is compatible with all lenses and all camera systems which means that all lenses can be depicted.
- camcon The camera control software allows the user to set camera parameters such as fps and shutter. Note: Currently, Arri 435, Arri 535, Arri 16SR3, Arri 35 III, Aaton 35 III, Aaton XTR Prod and the Panavision Millennium XL can be controlled (see page 20). Implementation of other cameras is in development. Camera start/ stop can be operated on all cameras which have a camera run/ stop interface.
page 18/37
> cmotion LCS System l software l camcon, cramp
- cramp The cmotion software, cramp, allows the user to program and execute speed ramps, depth of field ramps and user mode ramps for film cameras. For each ramp the user defines the start and end parameters and usually presets the time. In automatic mode, a simple push of a button starts the ramp and the camera will move automatically to the end parameters in the given time. You can also manually operate this preset ramp. This means the user can control the movement of the ramp from its start position to its end position manually. This of course works with all integrated cameras, in hardwired and wireless mode. Any preset exposure compensation will be done automatically. This manual ramp can be controlled by the knob or the slider of the coperate Note: Currently, Arri 435, Arri 535, Arri 16SR3, Arri 35 III, Aaton 35 III, Aaton XTR Prod and the Panavision Millennium can be controlled. Implementation of other cameras is in development. .
- cdiscal To administrate the lens data cmotion offers its users two calibration software; one which is administered from a PC, and another which is administered directly from the cdisplay. The two software modules are necessary in order for lenses to be used for any of the cmotion software programs, each lens must be calibrated just once. cdiscal is the lens calibration software on the cdisplay.
page 19/37
> cmotion LCS System l software l cfocas - cfocas cfocas is the cmotion focus assistant. It is another cdisplay software module. With the help of cfocas an assistant can link information from a range finder tool, such as the cfinder, with focus scale data and work with the results. Various range finder systems can be used with cfocas. cfocas illustrates focus scale information in relation to depth of field information in an easy to read large font. As with other cdisplay software all lenses can be used and displayed with cfocas. Lens information can be loaded from a data storage unit such as the ctag. Camera information will also be read out on the cfocas screen. Of course the user can also simply use the read out information (focus data, measurement data) and focus manually. cfocas clearly indicates whether the current focus value, or the range finder value, is within the depth of field. The cfocas software also provides the user with an auto focus function. The corresponding lens motors on the lens adjustment rings automatically follow the range finder value. This function can be turned on and off with a button on the coperate. The user can dictate the sensitivity of the auto focus. The gentler the user sets the sensitivity; the smoother the auto focus will follow a focal point. If it is not possible to attach a range finder system directly at the film plane, an offset value can be set for the distance of the range finder from the film plane. Highlights of cfocas: • • • • •

> cmotion LCS System l accessories l cfinder
Accessor ies Distance Measurement - cfinder cfinder is an optic distance measurement tool. It has a measurement range of 0,2m to over 150m (approx. 7.9 inch – 492 feet) and an accuracy range of + 0,04 m (approx. 1.6 inch). To focus an object, a telescopic sight, or a laser pointer, can be easily attached to the cfinder by means of a quick fastener. The cfinder measurement stream is invisible. A power supply for the additional laser pointer is located at the back of the unit. The cfinder can be mounted with brackets to various cameras or beside a camera on a tripod. The cfinder also has a CBUS interface, the cmotion universal intra – system interface which allows the user to connect cmotion units to each other. The cfinder can be connected to the camin. The cfinder updates its measurements up to 10x a second. The distance measurement data can be read out onto the cdisplay. An assistant can adjust the following cfinder settings using the cfocas software on the cdisplay: • measurement range, if a limit is set for the measurement range then measurements will only be made within the indicated range. Measurement points outside of the range will be faded out • the measurement rate (in measurement values per second) • cfinder as an auto focus system. • offset, if the cfinder cannot be attached at the film plan.

Lenses
The lens control set can be used with lenses from all manufactures and can read lens data from all lenses. There are 2 ways to transfer the lens data to the cdisplay. When using the Cooke S4/i lenses you can connect the lens with a cable directly to the camin and/ or the cdisplay, and you will receive all necessary lens data automatically; no motor is needed. Otherwise, the data can be transferred using the cmotion patented ctag system. cmotion developed a chip on which all lens data can be “written” to. First the lens is calibrated into the system. Then the data is “written” onto a chip. This chip, the ctag, is then kept with the lens so the lens data always accompanies the lens. From the ctag you can easily “read” the lens data to any cdisplay. This means that each lens must only be calibrated once (usually done by camera rental house) and can be used with all cdisplays worldwide. This system is very easy to handle; a lens change is recognized automatically.
