Technical Specifications

The following table lists technical specifications for the VRzero eSensor Bundle.

Table 1 - Table 3.1

PropertyDetails
VRzero Module
Power SupplyComes with power supply unit and line cord suitable for the country to which the system is shipped.
The power supply unit accepts 100-240VAC at 50/60 Hz, and draws 1.4A current.
Power supply unit output is 12VDC (5.0A, 60W maximum).
Tracking Data OutputTracking data is transmitted using Kuper protocol over IP. There are 12 data channels, 4 of which carry encoder data.
Configure your system to receive data on the following channels:
  • ​Channel 9 — Focus data

  • ​Channel 10 — Zoom data

  • ​Channel 11 — Tilt data

  • ​Channel 12 — Pan data

Video Reference (genlock/sync)Video reference (genlock/sync) signal is input through a standard BNC connector.
Tri-level and black burst formats are supported.
The VRzero module receives video reference signal only; it does not generate the signal.
Inputs / OutputsPOWER — Power input: 12VDC, 5A
SYNC — Video reference (genlock/sync input
PAN — Pan axis encoder data input from fluid head.
TILT — Tilt axis encoder input from fluid head.
LENS — Lens encoder data (zoom, focus) from lens.
ETHERNET — Ethernet network connection (RJ-45). Use CAT5e cable (or better).
Pan and Tilt Encoding22-bit encoders on pan and tilt axes yield 4,194,304 encoder counts per 360-degree revolution.
Scale factor to convert encoder counts to degrees is 0.0000858306884765625.
For Ross Video UX VCC, set the pan and tilt encoder scale value to 0.00008583069.
LED IndicatorsPOWER LED:
  • ​Solid Red — VRzero module is initializing

  • ​Solid Green — Module is ready.

  • ​Flashing Red — Networking conflict

  • ​Flashing Green — Occurs when module is found by NPort Search Utility’s locate function.

SYNC LED:
  • ​Solid Green — Video reference (genlock/sync) data is being received.

Default IP Address192.168.127.254
Supported LensesThe VRzero module has a digital lens interface with auto-detection of Canon and Fujinon lenses. No lens configuration by the user is required.
Fully digital lenses with the following types of data ports are supported:
  • ​Fujinon 20-pin virtual port

  • ​Canon 20-pin virtual port
