Hedén Group releases YMER-3 and Cine RT distance integration

Hedén Group, PLC Electronics Solutions and Focusbug are pleased to launch an integration that connects the Cine RT base sensor to the VLC-3 receiver. Now the distance data from the Focusbug Cine RT system can be shown in the display of the YMER-3 handset and the AUX button on the YMER-3 handset can be used to activate focus tracking based on the distance data. The Cine RT link cable connects the r/s port of the VLC-3 receiver to the serial port of the Cine RT base sensor. The cable has pass-through for the r/s function so users can connect both a r/s cable to the camera and the Cine RT simultaneously.

“The integration lets users display the distance data on the display, with a mapped lens on the YMER-3 they can program the AUX button on the handset to the focus tracking function using the distance data. The focus tracking function is very direct with a very low delay, it is possible to filter the focus tracking data to select a smooth or more direct control”, said Laird Pierce, Sales Director at Focusbug.

“We developed the integration to address the demand of measuring distance that our customers around the world have been asking for. To have the data from the market leading Cine RT system integrated with our YMER-3 system is a really great addition to the system. You can also combine the cable with our Cine RT sensor pan bracket and mount and pan the horns with any of our motors”, explains Jonas Andersson, CEO of Hedén Group.

The Cine RT integration is compatible with YMER-3 with the latest firmware. To update the firmware, send a request with the serial number of the receiver and handset to te*********@***en.se. The latest version, instructions and the software to update the unit will be emailed to you. A cable to update the receiver is included in the YMER-3 system and the supplied USB key can be used to update the handset. A windows PC will be needed for the update.
