The size and location of the ground plane relative to the antenna will affect the overall performance of the antenna in the final design. When used in conjunction with a ground plane smaller than that used to tune the antenna, the center frequency typically will shift higher in frequency and the bandwidth will decrease. The proximity of other circuit elements and packaging near the antenna will also affect the final performance. For further discussion and guidance on the importance of the ground plane counterpoise, please refer to Linx Application Note AN-00501: Understanding Antenna Specifications and Operation.

2550MHz What is VSWR?
The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is a measurement of how well an antenna is matched to a source impedance, typically 50-ohms. It is calculated by measuring the voltage wave that is headed toward the load versus the voltage wave that is reflected back from the load. A perfect match will have a VSWR of 1:1. The higher the first number, the worse the match, and the more inefficient the system. Since a perfect match cannot ever be obtained, some benchmark for performance needs to be set. In the case of antenna VSWR, this is usually 2:1. At this point, 88.9% of the energy sent to the antenna by the transmitter is radiated into free space and 11.1% is either reflected back into the source or lost as heat on the structure of the antenna. In the other direction, 88.9% of the energy recovered by the antenna is transferred into the receiver. As a side note, since the :1 is always implied, many data sheets will remove it and just display the first number. How to Read a VSWR Graph VSWR is usually displayed graphically versus frequency. The lowest point on the graph is the antennas operational center frequency. In most cases, this will be different than the designed center frequency due to fabrication tolerances. The VSWR at that point denotes how close to 50-ohms the antenna gets. Linx specifies the recommended bandwidth as the range where the typical antenna VSWR is less than 2:1. 2 Data Sheet ANT-2.4-CW-RCS-xxx by

The FI+Z system controls the complete array of lens and camera functions. It consists of the Hand Unit HU3, one or more Motor Drivers, a set of Digital Motors, a Micro Force zoom control, and a variety of optional controls including wireless Focus/Iris, Zoom, and the Light Ranger 2 focus assist. B. The HU3 gives focus pullers not only a robust and reliable unit but one whose ergonomics allow the focus puller to accurately translate the changes in actors positions on set to a precise movement of the focus knob. Careful attention has been paid to protecting the unit from impact and environmental damage. The microwave antenna is integrated within a form fitting cover. The iris slider uses a magnetic sensor to eliminate the opening required for a conventional sliding seal. The soft urethane handgrip and focus knob cover not only provide for comfortable all day operation, but also protect the unit from shock. Generation 4 (G4) transceivers address the challenges brought about by the proliferation of wireless devices using the 2.4 GHz wireless band. Their new architecture results in a greatly improved ability to reject interference from other devices operating in the same band as well as out of band interference. The improvement in performance is quite significant, typically 10x or better interference rejection than previous transceivers. The HU3 and MDR3 can also be connected through a cable link using the command cable. This provides high reliability communication over long distances (1km). To address the metadata requirements of CGI, the MDR3 has motor position and camera data available at the serial port for incorporation into a metadata stream. Lens Mapping software matches the focus distance marks of a lens to the pre-printed focus marking rings. Five focus rings, labeled A E, cover focus distances from 9" (.35m) to 6' (2m). The set of focus rings have large, easy to read, distance marks printed on a 3 bright fluorescent background for excellent visibility under all lighting conditions. The rings are automatically illuminated in low light conditions by a pair of white LED's. Once a lens is calibrated, it can immediately be used with any of the focus rings. The on-
board lens library holds data for 255 lenses. Calibration for a lens change only requires the few seconds needed to choose the lens from the library. A bright, sharp, OLED display shows camera, lens, and hand unit set-up status. Focus distance settings can be displayed digitally for Cooke i-Lenses, or any lens which has been calibrated to the unit. Data from compatible ultrasonic measuring devices (Panatape, Cinetape) can be displayed. The bright zoom bargraph display shows both the zoom lens position as well as user-set end limits. End limits are set with Set/ Reset tactile switches arranged in three groups. An LED in each group indicates when limits are active. C. The zoom function is implemented by a Micro Force control. It can be directly connected to the Hand Unit using a bracket or operated remotely using a cable. The camera may be started either from the Micro Force or from the Hand Unit. D. The Remote Iris Box provides a separate control for the Iris function. It is automatically enabled when plugged into the Iris accessory connector on the Hand Unit. E. Optional wireless units allow various lens and camera control functions to be split off from the Hand Unit functions. The Focus-Iris unit is a single channel hand control. When active, it takes over either the focus or iris function from the Hand Unit. The Radio Micro Force module allows the zoom function to be split off from the Hand Unit. The Light Ranger 2 is a high-precision focus assist which generates a graphics overlay indicating the direction and amount the focus knob must be turned to bring a subject into focus. F. The Motor Driver (MDR3) supports 4 motor channels and camera run/stop. The 30 channel transceiver allows the simultaneous operation of both the Hand Unit 3 as well as the optional wireless hand units listed previously. An integral voltage booster allows for operation over a voltage range of 11 28 VDC. Switches are provided for adjusting Motor Torque and reversing direction. G. DM1X, DM2, and DM5 digital motors cover drive requirements from the largest zoom lenses to small prime lenses. They have proven their toughness under extremes of temperature, humidity and vibration. All of them use hardened metal gears with super-hard coatings to give very low backlash over thousands of hours of operation. H. The DXL Module is a wireless 3-channel motor driver for the Panavision DXL camera. II. FI+Z Basic Operation Summary. 4 A. Set-up the Motor driver (MDR3) and Digital Motors. a. Slide the motor brackets onto the matte box support rods. Position the motors and brackets so that the motor gears mesh with the corresponding lens gears. Couple the lens motors to the lens gears. Adjust the motor positions relative to the lens to have minimum backlash and tighten the handles of the motor brackets. Do not couple the motor to the lens too tightly or binding will result. Check that the motor brackets do not flex or slip on the matte box support rods. For normal lenses, the Torque adjustment switches can be set in the middle position of their range. Connect the motor cables from the motors to the MDR3. b. Use the designated camera cable to connect the MDR3 to the camera accessory receptacle. (See pages 24, 25 for the cable list). Connect the power cable from the MDR3 to the camera or battery power receptacle. Important: check that camera is capable of supplying sufficient current for the MDR3. This information is usually provided the camera manufacturer in their specifications. A conservative estimate of the maximum MDR3 current requirement is 1A per motor at 24VDC or 2A/motor at 12VDC. c. Apply power to the MDR3. Press the reset button. The motors will calibrate themselves to the mechanical span of the lens rings. d. Select the MDR wireless channel with the channel selection switches either on the top cover or the side channel display. B. HU3 Set-up a. b. Press the Power Switch momentarily.

Selecting Lens with the Nav key (Fig. 6.1) allows lenses to be calibrated and their data to be stored in the on-board library. The Focus Mapping software matches the witness marks of calibrated lenses to the printed scales on the lens rings. The Ring key (Fig 6.1) is used to match the installed focus ring letter (A E). Menu Screen: Channel Selection 9 Fig 6.1 Fig 6.2 Fig 6.3 The Choose key (Fig. 6.1) brings up the list of folders containing lens data (Fig 6.2). The All lenses folder contains data on all of the lenses stored in the HU3 lens library. The Library stores up to 255 lenses. Next brings up the contents of the selected folder (Fig 6.3). The folders My list A, B, and C are used to store up to 15 lenses (3 screens) so that they can be accessed quickly without having to scroll through the complete list. Pressing Add allows a lens to be copied from the lens library to the My list folder (fig 6.4). To use a lens from the library, choose a lens folder shown Fig 6.5. Using the Nav key select the manufacturer (fig. 6.5, the lens type (fig. 6.6), and the lens (fig 6.7) and press either OK or ENTER. Use the focus knob to set the lens to infinity as shown in Fig 6.8 and press NEXT/ENTER. The lens name now appears on the main screen (Fig. 6.9). To calibrate a new lens:
Fig 6.5 Fig 6.6 Fig 6.4 Fig. 6.9 Fig. 6.8 Fig 6.7 Name the lens and store it in the lens library. Use the Edit function to calibrate the lens. To name the lens, go to the Lens selection screen (FIG 6.2), select All lenses (Fig 6.2), select a manufacturers folder (FIG 6.5), and Lens Type (FIG 6.6). Press the New Lens key (Fig 6.7) and you will be asked to select the focal length (Fig 6.10), and Serial Number (FIG 6.11). When finished, press Next and the lens name (18mm s/n 123) appears in the lens type folder (Fig 15). Note that the lenses are automatically sorted in ascending values of the focal length. 10 Fig 6.10 Fig 6.11 Fig 6.12 Fig 6.13 Fig 6.14 To calibrate the lens press Edit (Fig 6.12). Select Calibrate Focus with the Nav key (Fig 6.13), and press OK or ENTER). After the lens focus ring is set to infinity (FIG 6.14), the display indicates the first of ten calibration distances (FIG 6.15). There are two versions of this display screen, one for lenses with linear focus mechanisms, and a second for lenses with non-linear focus. Choosing a lens type automatically brings up the corresponding display screen. The display screen for lenses with linear focus mechanisms allow the user to scroll up and down with the Nav key (FIG 6.15, and 6.16). The display screens for non-linear lenses show fixed distances for each calibration point as shown in Fig. 6.18 6.20. After the tenth point is entered (Fig. 6.17, 6.20), the lens description is shown to the right of the Lens entry of the Menu (Fig. 6.21). The letter F to the right of the lens description indicates that the lens focus has been calibrated. The main screen (Fig. 6.22) shows the lens information. Fig 6.16 Fig 6.17 Fig 6.20 Fig 6.19 Fig 6.15 Fig 6.18 11 Fig. 6.21 Fig. 6.22 Fig. 6.23 To select the focus ring, Menu (Fig 6.22) Ring (FIG 6.21) and use the Navigation key to select either a ring (A E) for metric or (Ai Ei for imperial) (Fig. 6.23. The tables below show the near focus distances for both the rings calibrated in imperial and metric units. Ring Near Focus Ring Ai 9 A Near Focus
.25m Bi 18 B
.50m Ci 24 C
.70m Di 36 D 1.0m Ei 72 E 3.0m The printed labels Ai - Ei are pictured in Fig. 6.24 below. Note that the midpoint of each scale is about twice the minimum focus distance. Although the ring can be chosen to cover the entire focus range of the lens, it is often advantageous to choose the ring which covers the minimum focus required for the actual shooting. For example the Summilux 18mm lens has an 18 near focus, matching the Bi ring. However if the closest distance required is 3, only half of the knobs rotation would be used. Choosing the Di ring instead would make the entire rotation of the focus knob available and double the spread of distances, dramatically improving the precision. Note that any focus ring can be used with any calibrated lens. 7. The Operating Mode allows the user to change which hand control axis, focus, iris, or zoom, controls which motor. Pressing the Set-Up key (FIG. 7.1) brings up the screen for allocating the 4-motor axes in the MDR3. Fig.6.24 Increasing the throw of the focus knob by choosing focus ring minimum focus. 12 Fig 7.2 shows the focus axis selected. To re-allocate the focus axis, tap the right side of the Nav key to highlight Focus, Fig. 7.3. The north/south sides of the Nav key are then used to cycle the axes: FocusIrisZoomOff. The Off selection is used when one of the HU3 axes is being over-ridden by either a Focus/Iris or Radio Microforce hand unit. The Off selection prevents the selected motor axis (focus for this example) from taking its position command from the HU3 if the wireless signal from the Focus/Iris unit drops out. This option is commonly used when the Iris function is being remotely controlled from Video Village with a Focus/Iris unit. The mode selection is also used to set-up the source for the AUX motor axis of the MDR4. Selecting AUX allows the Nav key to cycle through all available hand controls: HU3 Focus, HU3 Iris, HU3 Zoom, F/I Focus, F/I iris, Analog Focus, Analog Iris, and Analog zoom. The Analog controls refer to units plugged into the analog port of the MDR3. Zoom Mode Set-Up The Normal zoom mode allows the HU3 zoom bargraph to indicate the lens zoom position when the MDR3 is driving a zoom motor. When a Video lens with an internal servo drive is used in conjunction with the MDR3, the required analog control signal is made available by selecting the Video option. When this option is active, the zoom bargraph will indicate the velocity of the zoom motor rather than its position, and limits on the zoom range cannot be set. 8. The System Menu displays the installed firmware version, scans for other FI+Z systems operating in the vicinity, sets-up the operating mode for the LEDs that illuminate the focus rings, and specifies the focus distance units (imperial/metric). Fig. 8.1 Fig. 8.2 Fig. 7.5 Fig. 7.4 Fig. 8.3 13 Fig. 8.4 Fig. 8.5 Select Menu System + Enter to see the System Info screen (Fig. 8.1). Pressing the NETWORK key (Fig. 8.2) initiates a scan of all HU3 channels. The Occupied Channels screen (Fig. 8.3) lists the channels in use and their signal strength. The Region key adjusts the output power of the microwave link to comply with local regulations The Network scan function (Fig. 8.2) will only detect G4 devices; it will not detect Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, frequency hopping devices, etc. Press the Light soft key (Fig.8.2) to display the options (Fig. 8.5) for illuminating the focus ring. The Auto option turns on the light automatically under dim conditions. The options may be selected by using the Nav key to highlight the desired choice. The OPTIONS (Fig. 8.4) selections consist of selecting distance units, and focus knob/iris slider direction. Use the Navigation key to select the desired function. The default knob direction is CW and slider direction is maximum aperture UP. Optional labels for the focus rings are available for CCW direction use. 9. The Zoom Bargraph indicates the position of the zoom when the zoom is in Normal mode (See section 7. Operating Modes.) Note that the bargraph of the Digital Microforce is not active when connected to the HU3, as the zoom position is only available when a digital motor is used. The zoom bargraph indicates the lens limits as described in the next section. 10. Lens Limits (Fig. 10.1) can be set using the three groups of set/reset (s/r) keys. To set a limit, move the motor to the first limit and press the set (s) key. While keeping the s key pressed, move the motor to the second limit and release the s key. The limits are now set and indicated by a lit LED in the corresponding group. To remove a limit, press the reset key r. The Zoom bargraph indicates the off-limits areas of the zoom range by two lit strips of LEDs. The span of the allowed travel corresponds to the length of the un-lit LEDs. 14 Fig. 10.1 Lens limits can be used to lock a motor to a given position. This is done by setting a zero-
span, where the beginning and end of the range are the same point. To lock a motor, position the motor to the desired point and press the set button twice. 11. Panatape and Cine Tape Interfaces. The Panatape and Cinetape units can be used to provide a distance reading that is displayed by the HU3 main display screen. The MDR3 serial port accepts data directly from Panatape/Cinetape units while the MDR2 requires interface units 4534/4542 respectively. Pressing the Fshow button switches the display from the remote distance measuring device (Fig. 11.1) to a dual display (Fig 11.2) and finally to the default display (Fig. 11.3). 12. Light Ranger 2 (LR2) The LR2 (Fig. 12.1) provides focus assist information in the form of graphics which overlay the camera image (Fig. 12.2). In the Manual mode of operation, the overlay graphics indicate the direction and amount the focus knob must be turned to bring a subject into sharp focus. In the autofocus mode, the focus will track a subject selected from the 16 measurement zones. The HU3 display (Fig. 12.3) shows the distance selected in the target area. http://www.prestoncinema.com/products_LR2_2014.html Fig. 11.3 Fig. 11.2 Fig 11.1 15 13. Software updates can be downloaded from the website http://www.prestoncinema.com/downloads.html. To load an update into the HU3:
Install the boot loader program from the CD which is shipped with the FI+Z system to a PC. Make sure that the Hand Unit is not powered. Connect the serial cable 4651(serial connector to 4-pin Lemo) between the serial port of the pc and the Serial receptacle on the rear cover of the HU3. For laptops without a serial connector, use a USB to serial adapter. To initiate the update, open the HU3 update program on your PC. While holding the iris set button down, press the Power button of the HU3. Release all buttons. The HU3 display will show the message Ready to load. The display on the PC should now report that it has found a connection to the HU3 and ask whether you want to proceed with the update. Choose yes. After the program has completed the update, you can remove the serial cable from the HU3. Fig. 14.1 Remote Iris Box p/n 4020 14. Remote Iris Unit A socket is provided on the bottom of the HU3 for an external, cable connected, iris control. When the external iris control is connected, the slide control on the FIZ will be disabled. 15. Focus Ring Light. Under low light conditions, two white LEDs will automatically illuminate the Focus Ring. 16 MDR3: Torque and Direction Switches Input/Output Connectors IV. MDR3. Detailed Description The four channel MDR3 Motor Driver controls up to four motors, providing control signals to the camera, and transfers camera operating data to the wireless network through the transceiver module. The MDR3 uses a lens calibration sequence to determine the mechanical limits of the zoom, focus, and iris rings of the lens. This sequence is initiated whenever the Reset button on the MDR is pressed, or whenever a motor is connected to the Motor Driver. Lens calibration allows for precise, repeatable marks and also prevents accidental damage to the lens or Digital Motor. An internal memory stores the positions of a calibrated lens for 12 hours without external power. To further protect the lens and driver electronics, the motors are electronically torque limited and protected from overheating during stall. The LED status displays for motor torque and direction are activated by pressing any of the red buttons. Change the Torque and Direction setting of a motor by pressing the 17 MDR3: Channel Display & Switches - Top Channel Display & Switches - Side button adjacent to the corresponding connector. The bottom row of buttons controls the torque and the upper row controls the direction. At each press of the torque button, the LED color changes to indicate the maximum torque level: blue minimum, green mid-level, red maximum. Pressing the direction button changes the motor direction to correspond with the Hand unit. The white LED indicates the status. After approximately 4s from the last button press, the display will turn off. Camera control signals are provided at the Camera" receptacle of the MDR3. In addition, the camera receptacle also provides:
Serial control signals for controlling the internal servos of Fujinon Cabrio lenses. The signals required for VTR start for Sony cameras as well as internal zoom drive for Canon and Fujinon video style lenses with integral zoom drives. The Microwave Transceiver is located in the lid of the MDR3. It provides wireless bi-
directional communication between the MDR3, Hand Unit, Focus/Iris units and other clients in the wireless network. The lid also contains a voltage booster enabling MDR3 operation over an input voltage range from 11 to 30 volts. The wireless channels are selected by pressing the up/down channel switches located on both the MDR3 top cover and side. There are 30 channels numbered 0 29 and are backwards compatible with the MDR2 G4 units. Channels 29 59 use enhanced data encoding and eliminate interference between closely spaced units. The software controlling the MDR3 is updated through the USB receptacle and the USB cable that connects the MDRs to the USB receptacle of a PC or MAC (OS 10.5 or later). Software updates are available either as a CD or download from our web site:
http://www.prestoncinema.com/downloads.html. To initiate the update, remove power from the MDR3. Connect the USB cable between the computer and MDR3 USB receptacle. Open the MDR3 update program. While holding the reset button down, apply power to the MDR3. Release the reset button. The program should now report that it has found a connection to the MDR3 and asks whether you want to proceed with the update. Choose yes. After the program has completed the update, you can remove the USB cable from the MDR3. The serial receptacle functions:
Accepts motion control commands from an external computer using RS-
232 data. Accepts distance data from the Panatape or Cinetape devices using the Panatape interface cable p/n 4534 or Cinetape cable p/n 4542. It can also 18 take data from the Cooke i-Lens using cable p/n 4544. The distance data is shown on the HU3 display. It can send motor position and camera data to an external device. Time Code A. Jamming TC with a Clockit device. After connecting the Clockit to the MDR3 with cable 4731, the HU3 will indicate that its TC is synced (see picture below). This feature requires that the HU3 is running firmware version 2.14 or later. B. MDR3 time code accuracy and stability. The MDR3 real-time clock is tuned at the factory to better than 1 ppm accuracy at ambient temperature of 20C. To maintain 1 frame accuracy at 24fps or 30 fps, the MDR3 should be jammed at 8 hour intervals or less, at ambient 20C. D. Genlock Input. The TC connector has an input for genlock. When a genlock signal is detected the lens metadata will be stored synchronously. The connector pinout is shown from the termination side of the plug:

(integral bracket) V. Digital Motors The DM-1X is a high speed and high power motor. It is specifically recommended for driving the focus ring of cinema lenses. The DM-2 is a smaller and lighter weight motor. It is recommended for driving the zoom and iris of all lenses, and the focus for all but very stiff lenses. The DM4X motor (right) is the smallest member of the family. Its recommended for either light-weight video lenses or the zoom/iris rings of small zoom or prime lenses. Standard motor output gears are .80m. They are available in .25 and .50 face widths. These standard gears are designed to accept additional step-up gears for use with lenses having alternate gear pitches. p/n 4220 4221 4230 4231 4232 4240 4241 4242 Motor Gear/Application 0.8m .25 wide 0.8m .50 wide 32DP .25 wide PV focus 48DP .25 wide PV zoom 64DP .25 wide PV iris 0.5m Canon 0.6m Fuji Focus, Zoom 0.4m Fuji Iris 20 A. Digital Motor Brackets. The integral bracket (A version) provides for simplified mounting and also allows the motors to be positioned very close to one another. A rosette gear securely locks the swing arm in position. See pictures on previous page. Important tip for integral brackets: to prevent the motor position from changing as the handles are tightened, first tighten the handle which clamps the motor to the rod and then tighten the rosette handle. Swing Arm Brackets pictured below have a 19mm opening on one end and a 15mm opening of the other. Step-down bushings accommodate 15mm and 0.635 rods, p/n 4320 and p/n 4321 respectively.
