This highly anticipated cPRO software release is guaranteed to take your cPRO LCS to the next level. Our dedicated team of developers have implemented some game-changing features, enhanced camera control* and refined the overall cPRO experience.
What’s COMING?
Smart Rings
“click-and-play”
cPRO PLUS will be fully compatible with the
full range of ARRI smart focus and smart iris rings.
Check your cPRO PLUS focus knob now for the smart ring encoder pins.
The following smart focus rings are available in regular (clockwise towards infinity) and reverse (counterclockwise towards infinity):
(9“ / 1‘ / 1‘3 / 1‘8 / 2‘ /2‘6 / 3‘6 / 5‘ / 6‘6 / 10‘)
(0.20m / 0.25m / 0.30m / 0.35m / 0.50m / 0.75m / 1.00m / 1.50m / 2.00m / 3.00m)
The following smart iris rings are also available:
T1 – T22, T1.4 – T22, T2 – T22, T2.8 – T22, T1-Close
cPRO and cPRO ONE users…. you will also be able to use the new range of smart focus and smart iris rings by selecting the corresponding ring in the knob menu. Perfect for your DP or DIT.
DIT mode
The new DIT mode shows a bigger iris value as well as the camera´s ND and the Cinefade VariND value if being used. This highlights all important information for the DIT.
Tail-slate mode
Never miss the tail-slate again.
This feature prevents you from stopping the camera accidentally and missing a tail slate after the director has called CUT!
Virtual Axis
With this new feature, you can assign any controller (not already assigned to a motor) to “virtually” control the iris and/or zoom scale dynamically. This allows cPRO to calculate real-time depth of field as if these axes are motorized.
Encoder Mode
With the latest cforce motor SUP 2.0, you can deactivate the driver and use it as an encoder. This allows the lens axis to be controlled by hand while still outputting real-time lens data through the cPRO eco-system. Any user button can be assigned to activate “Encoder Mode”. Pressing the button again and passing the controller over the encoder position, instantly reactivates the driver for wireless control.
Improved marker handling
Not only have we increased the number of markers per axis (focus, iris, zoom, distance, and AUX), you can toggle from marker position 1 through to 5 and back to 1, moving the motor automatically.
