Mount camera to Arca-Type clamp illustrated above. You will need to have an Arca-Type
L-plate mounted to your camera (this is not included by default with spectrum orders). If
you do not already have one, we offer one in our store here:
http://store.emotimo.com/universal-q-r-l-plate-p111.aspx
This L-plate is shown in use below:

4) Controller:
5) Connection – easiest way to connect.
a. With remote off (no flashing or lights on), press and hold the share button
with your left thumb, and then press and hold the PS button (middle) with
your right thumb. When LED of the remote flashes white with quick blinks,
let both buttons go.
b. Power on the spectrum, wait 3 seconds and then press the spectrum’s
center button of the navigation joystick (you will feel a click a you press in).
The remote’s LED should turn light blue in a couple seconds.

6) Charging Remote – make sure your remote is fully charged before you head out
into the field. Plug in a micro USB cable (not included, but typical of many
eMotimo spectrum Instructions B003 - Copyright © 2016 eMotimo LLC

phones / cameras) to the PS4 and then USB end to a computer. Look for an
orange glow on the back of the PS4 while it is charging. Once this turns off it is
fully charged. Watch out! Many field packs with USB ports will not charge the
PS4. Use the orange glow as an indicator that the charging process is working.
If the remote’s battery gets really low or sits for a long period of time, it might not charge
(indicated by orange glow). If it isn’t charging or connecting, reset it. You can do this by
using a thin tool to press the reset button on the bottom of the PS4.

Real time moves:
Power on the unit and select the first menu setting (Live Motion). Now you are on a
motor presets page that allows you to drive the head around and experiment with some
predefined motor move profiles.
On this page, use the Up/Down DPAD and Navigation Switch buttons to select a motor
move profile. The names and general parameters for relative speeds and accelerations
are shown, listed from 1-7.
You can hit Triangle to cycle through the motor profiles on this screen and others. There
are some motor profiles that are slow, some that are fast, some that are nearly silent,
and some are super damped.
Please bring the rig to a stop before hitting the Triangle – some motor settings are really
fast and you can crash the head easily.

Camera Triggering from Remote
Using right trigger (R2), a half press is focus, and a full press is shutter/focus to trigger
your camera to shoot. This functionality is for fun or for hot head camera still shooting.
This triggering is active in most modes and is good for firing test shots before starting a
timelapse sequence.

Presets – GoTo Positions:
There are four GoTo presets you can program. To set, scroll over to the GoTo positions
pages. Do this from the main menu by selecting the top menu (Live Motion) and then
pressing the right DPad button or right on the Navagation joystick until you see the GoTo
frames headers. The first heading you will see is the GoTo Presets: Square. By moving
right on the Dpad or right on the Navigation switch you will find the next GoTo preset,
which is GoTo Presets: Circle. Keep scrolling right to program all four presets.
Programming a preset:
1. Target: Set your target parameter by moving all 4 axis to a position you want to
lock in as a preset. Press X to lock in this position.
2. Time: Once Time is highlighted, scroll up and down to program the amount of
time/duration you want your move to take to arrive at your target position.
3. Ramp: Program the acceleration and deceleration in seconds at the start and end
of your move to the target position. Ramp is included in the overall duration of the
shot. In other words, ramp time is not added to the overall time of the shot.
4. Clear: Press X twice to clear your target position.
Once a preset is programed, you can move the head around freely. When you hit the
preset button, the head will drive all 4 axis to the preset (GoTo target position) with the
qualities you programed in to that preset.

Record and Playback screen:
Record and Playback mode allows you to record a move live and have the spectrum play
/ repeat that move back to you over again. To set Record and Playback, start by
selecting the top menu (Live Motion) and then pressing the right DPad button or right on
the Navagation joystick until you see the Rec and Playback heading.
1. Use triangle to set the feel of your move. Use the DPad up and down to select
Record.
2. Press X on the remote to start the recording
3. You have 10 seconds of time to record your move. The capture rate is 50Hz with
500 keyframes.
4. Move the head any way you want with live controls*
5. When the Record function is finished you will be able to use the Dpad or
Navigation joystick to move down to Play.
6. When you hit the Play button by pressing X, the unit will return to start**, pause for
1 second and then replay the move.
Known Issues for REC/Play;
•*There currently is no visual indicator that the head is recording or that it has
stopped. Recording is finished when cursor is active
•**The return to start is hardcoded to take only 3.0 second with 0.5 second
ramp. If you create a long on a long slider, this will exceed speed limits and
the unit will stall.
•You cannot save these moves
•You cannot record less or more that the preset amount.
•Clear and Return to start menu options are not active.
