Introducing the GPI trigger for motion control shoots
Cockpit2 can now be triggered a motion control rig.
Basically Cockpit2 can be triggered to do RECORDING/ACTION and PLAYBACK by 2 separate GPI channels. There is a third channel available for later development (animation, single frame capture).
This new feature is implemented as a hardware modification of the remote J&S console.
The unit has a 5V DC line out so is not referenced to ground so you don’t need pull up resistors.
The unit will react to a contact closure switch or to a TTL or CMOS level change up to 12 VDC.
The unit won’t react to a spikes shorter than 1 millisecond.
This is how it works: basically you connect your cable and reset the unit by pressing a button located on the side of the J&S for 4 seconds. This determines the “zero” reference level. Any change of that level will trigger the unit.
