Introduction

The KODAK Motion Corder Analyzer, SR series is designed to be a valuable

addition to the engineer’s problem solving tool kit. The compactness, ease of

operation, fast framing rates and instant video playback make evaluating your

most difficult motion related problems simple.

The live setup feature allows the user to see the image before recording so that

the time required to solve the problem is minimized. There is no guesswork

about exposure levels or image composition. What the user sees on the video

monitor is what will be captured in memory when the Trigger key is pressed.

The information in this manual will teach you how to operate the KODAK

Motion Corder Analyzer, SR series.

BOTTOM SECTION

The main power switch, a switch for the lights, a 12 volt AC power connector for

the lights and a power on indicator are located on the lower panel.

CAUTION

The 12 VAC for the lights must have at least a 75 watt but no more than 150 watt

load for proper operation. If you are using a 220 Volt AC source, you must turn

the lights ON and OFF with the light switch next to the main power switch.

If the lights do not come on, make sure that both lights are switched ON at the

MOUNTING THE CAMERA

The camera head has four 1/4-20 threaded screw holes for mounting, one on each

side. There are two additional holes per side for a locating pin used by some

tripods. This camera head can also be mounted on the Processor by sliding the

T-Bar on any one of its sides into a matching slot along the sides or the top of

the Processor. In most situations the camera is attached to an adapter plate via

the mounting point on the bottom of the camera head. The adapter plate accepts

the camera head and two small lights.

ATTACHING THE LENS

The camera is equipped with a standard C-mount lens adapter. Insert the lens

into the threads and then rotate the lens clockwise until it stops turning with

gentle pressure. Turn the lens counterclockwise to remove it.

Getting Started

Connect the KODAK Motion Corder Analyzer, SR series components together as

illustrated below:

Plug a power cord into the lower section of the rear panel and then turn on the

power at the front panel. The Motion Corder will come up in Live mode after the

power is turned on and it has performed its self checks successfully.

When the Motion Corder is in Live the Camera video is displayed on the

viewfinder. Notice that the word Live appears in the display on the video moni-

tor to show that the processor is in Live mode. Use Live mode to adjust the lens,

tripod and the lighting for best results. The picture on the monitor is absolutely

accurate as far as composition, focus and exposure are concerned. The images

recorded by your Motion Corder will be as they appear on the viewfinder in Live

mode.
