LANC REMOTE CONTROL
Overview
The Keene Lanc remote control is designed to provide easy
control of camcorder & VTR functions for LANC equipped
camcorders.
Connection
Simply plug the cable into the camcorder's LANC socket - no other
power source is required.
Operation
Camera mode
The default mode is pause/record with the LED flashing
Stop/start will change the camcorder from rec/pause to rec and
back again. The LED changes to constant red during record and
back to flashing for rec/pause.
Power will put the camcorder into standby or sleep mode (the
same as if you'd left it on rec/pause for a long period). Note that the button needs to be
depressed for a second or so - this is to prevent accidental operation. Pressing again will power
the camcorder back up into rec/pause.
Zoom in/Zoom out do exactly as you'd expect. The rate of zoom is constant and cannot be
varied.
VCR mode
The default mode is in "stop" with the LED flashing
Record will start the machine recording. The LED changes to constant red during record and
back to flashing for rec/pause. Once recording, pressing the record button again has no effect.
Stop will stop recording and also cancel rec/pause
Power will put the camcorder into standby or sleep mode (the same as if you'd left it on rec/
pause for a long period). Note that the button needs to be depressed for a second or so - this is
to prevent accidental operation. Pressing again will power the camcorder back up into its default
mode.
Pause will pause and resume the recording operation.
Troubleshooting - "My camera switches straight back on again"
Please note that in standby mode the camera will power down very quickly because it does not
have to unlace the tape first. If the button is still depressed when the camera shuts off the camera
will treat this as a request to switch back on again. In practice you need only to depress the
button for about 100 milliseconds to start the shutdown process.
Troubleshooting - "My camera won't shut down"
Some camcorders won't respond to a shutdown command if they are actually recording and need
to be put into rec/pause first.
Please note that this was as tested on a Sony PC110 - other machines may power up into a
different default mode although the button functions will remain the same.
