Using this Guide

This manual is split in three parts. The ﬁrst introduces you to the compact lens control system,

explaining components and concepts. The second takes you step by step through the setup of

the system. The third part guides you through operation and menu options. The table of contents

on page 3 provides a reference guide to speciﬁc sections of this user guide for quick information.

Note: Notes indicate important information related to the respective sec-

tions of this user’s guide.

Warning: Warnings indicate important safety information. Ignoring these

could lead to equipment damage or injury.

All cmotion components are written in italics throughout this manual.

Cables

When a cable is referred to in this user’s manual, it will be referred to by its connectors.

E.g. Le 10p, Fi 3p. Connectors are manufactured by W. W. Fisher, Lemo or Hirose and are

referred to as Fi, Le and Hi respectively. The cable identiﬁcation begins with the connector that

is attached to the camin unit followed by the connector which is attached to non-cmotion unit or

cmotion accessory. Each connector also takes reference from the number of pins it has. E.g. Le

10p, Fi 3p means that the cmotion connector is a 10pin Lemo and the other end is a 3pin Fischer.

Cables may also be referred to by their commonly used names e.g. LBUS (Le 4p, Le 4p).

Occasionally, cable connectors are referred to as ‘m’ or ‘f’ to identify whether the connector is

male or female. For a full overview of cables, please download the cmotion cable guide available

from www.cmotion.eu.

Necessary Tools

4mm Allen keys may be required to complete steps laid out in the manual.

Frequently Used Terms
