Remote Controller |

The Cinematography Electronics REMOTE CONTROLLER, used in conjunction with a CINETAPE
MEASURE, provides a second distance display and two adjustable near-far distance limits,
with displays. The REMOTE CONTROLLER’S stylish enclosure also duplicates all the control
functions of the CINETAPE making it simple to make adjustments from either unit. It also
adds a SYNC function for use when two CINETAPES are on the set.
The REMOTE CONTROLLER’S large red LED distance display is the same size as the CINE
TAPE’S readout. Its brightness level can be set to automatic or adjusted independently.
This extra distance display is useful when a hand-held reference is necessary, or when a
second distance display is needed on the camera.

The REMOTE CONTROLLER has two additional yellow LED displays, a NEAR distance limit and a FAR
distance limit, each with an on/off switch. Both of these distance limits are variable over the
complete measurement range. With both turned on, the measurement area is narrowed to between these
set distance limits. Either of the limits can be easily turned on or off depending on the particular
shot.
For example, with a REMOTE CONTROLLER and an over-the-shoulder shot, it’s easy to ignore the shoulder
by adjusting the NEAR distance limit to just beyond the foreground shoulder. This eliminates the
shoulder reading and only displays the accurate distance to the subject. Likewise, if the shot has a
large surface behind the subject such as a wall, adjusting the FAR distance limit, on the REMOTE
CONTROLLER, to just in front of the wall, eliminates the confusing readings of the wall.
When two CINETAPES are working on the same shot, the signal of one unit may interfere with the
second. The REMOTE CONTROLLER resolves this by providing a SYNC pushbutton which when pressed allows
one CINETAPE to listen for the second and adjust itself so that the two signals don’t
interfere.
Once you’ve used the REMOTE CONTROLLER, you will not shoot without one.
