1. Flair Lite: Tilta Lens Setup¶
AI Summary
A video covering how to set up the Tilta lens motors in Flair Lite.
For operators using this as a reference, the main focus is CGI matching, EtherCAT, Network Direct, firmware flashing, and hot booting, while it also touches on lens calibration, move programming, robot safety, target tracking, and zeroing. It should help when deciding which Flair workflow, robot behaviour, or setup area is relevant before opening the full video.
The practical setup context is that hardware referenced includes CAMERA_RED. This helps connect the video to the rig, accessory, software environment, or workflow label an operator may already be working with.
The chapter links below provide 14 timestamped jumps into the main setup, demonstration, and workflow moments, making it easier to go straight to the section that matches the issue or task being investigated.
Chapters
- 00:15 — then you do need to get the MRMC firmware and upgrade the firmware on the
- 01:35 — isn't enough room for the motor to get in there. So, we have a little adapter
- 03:10 — to the other end. You can see it move.
- 04:32 — to start first with the lens calibration.
- 05:37 — with the motor. The range should always be between zero and one. The lens
- 06:27 — if for example, infinity is at one and minimum focus is at zero, you
- 07:12 — And then I move it to the closest focus,
- 08:08 — to make sure that the focusing is better because it doesn't follow exactly what a
- 09:06 — see the numbers. So, you can see infinity zero and these are the other
- 12:57 — to there, but this is on center, so that remains a zero.
- 14:51 — target so the units are in centimeters, okay? And firstly, I can move it
- 15:47 — and it the unit will vibrate, and it will say here slave.
- 16:48 — So, disable it, okay, and re-enable it.
- 19:10 — the motor will do a rapid turn at some point. And then move it here using my

- 01:07 — offset, which again there shouldn't be, that should remain zero, so you don't
- 02:08 — my film plane, so I'm not going to I'm just going to leave that at zero. And
- 03:25 — offset. And my Y is sideways, which is normally zero, but my Z is from that

- 00:33 — setups. I'm going to do sounds. Okay. And I'm going to select waypoint
- 01:36 — to stop it from moving. But it should be that when you enable it, it doesn't move
- 02:25 — audio is going to recorder not to a set of speakers. So I'm going to now move it
- 03:20 — see what that looks like in preview. So, this is my move.
- 04:11 — beginning. Remember, I'm at the end. So, it's going to do a straight line move to
- 06:50 — Good. And so now when I run it, it's in focus throughout my move. I haven't had
- 07:37 — will try and put a nice smooth curve
- 08:31 — that point. Okay. And if I now run this move
- 09:55 — I'm going to just go to the start of the move
- 12:12 — and the distance that travel is traveled in between affects the move right which
- 13:54 — far away from everything. But let's try and put an extreme move on this. Okay.
- 14:41 — problem running this move. Yeah, it's
- 16:04 — So that's not workable. So I wouldn't be able to do that move.
- 17:16 — >> And now it's >> it's doing a very different move, but it
- 19:31 — >> Okay. All I really do is adjust it. Okay. So, actually move it further away.

- 01:10 — difference between a key frame and a waypoint. Um it's it's the point that
- 02:25 — with these actual buttons here. For example, my track. If I move my track,
- 03:23 — Okay. Till I'm looking at my objects. Uh, if I want to move my camera
- 04:11 — So let's say there keep it simple. Okay. Move that. I can go to my this plus
- 05:16 — end point. Okay. Now, this is the start of the move. It'll go.
- 06:04 — And you'll notice at the start of the move, it instantly jumps to the
- 06:58 — status it says ready to go to. Now a goto is not a program move. It's not the
- 07:47 — miscellaneous setups, and change your go-to speed right down. Okay, apply.
- 08:33 — It's warning you that this could be fast because the rig can move fast. This
- 09:19 — is in the middle. And it says go to now. Because my go-to speed is still very
- 10:07 — store this. So to store it, I can either well all I've done is move my slider,
- 10:59 — uh method possible. Okay, I'm going to speed up my go-tos just so we don't
- 12:17 — it's in ready to shoot. So I press play and this is now the move running again.
- 13:19 — it'll completely ignore it. Okay. It won't try and move it. It'll just ignore
- 18:03 — ends there. Okay. Um if you want to um record the move onto your camera and

- 03:24 — section. Okay. So, I'm going to just move them out a little bit more,
- 04:13 — Y and delete. Okay, good. So I'm back to my original move.
- 05:00 — move is 100 frames long.
- 05:46 — target. You can actually adjust the speed of the camera path and the target
- 06:43 — would mean it would actually get up to speed, come to a stationary point here,
- 07:33 — have a turntable uh moving or um some other axis moving. It'll speed profile
- 08:51 — All right. So, this will actually get up to speed, slow down, stop, go backwards,

- 03:52 — it. Thinks there's some kind of problem. It looks pretty simple that move. Okay.
- 04:57 — >> Okay. And this time I'm going to use these controls to move around my target.
- 06:05 — And it's not happy about it. It's not a big move, but it's not happy about it
