Chrosziel AL2-Z-402 - Aladin2 Zoom Control

The Chrosziel Aladin Mark II Zoom Control System with Display is a separate unit for the control of zoom. It comes with a hand unit transmitter with display and antenna, zoom module, 2 NiMH batteries, charger, and receiver/digital motor controller with outputs for 8 motors (3D) and 2 antennas. It also includes S3D functionality for zoom. The unit can be upgraded later for focus and iris control. Control signals are transmitted as digital data packages in the 434 / 869 MHz band safely and precisely with 18-bit resolution.

Controls in S3D mode 8 motors, synchronously 2 cameras' zoom, automates the rig setting for angulation (convergence), IA (inter axial distance), and communicates with Sony MPE 200. Suitable for many motors with digital incremental encoders such as Heden M26VE, Scorpio SB92, Preston DM2, and Betz Tools BTM7.


- Control signals are transmitted as digital data packages in the 434 / 869 MHz band safely and precisely with 18-bit resolution

- Suitable for many motors with digital incremental encoders such as Heden M26VE, Scorpio SB92, Preston DM2, and Betz Tools BTM7
- Adjustable backlash compensation
- Controls digital Canon and Fujinon lens motors directly through the 2 auxiliary ports, if required synchronously too
- USB port for metadata recording, software update and lens/rig data handling
- 2 serial interfaces for PC interaction
- Controls the dimmers; ALADIN Light Source (AL-LS) and Colibri, the DMX dimmer/receiver (FD-400E)
- Safe transmission distance inside through thick walls and outside with metal structures 1
- On/off or start/stop recording function integrated for all suitable cameras
- Memory of last settings after switch off for quick resumption of operation
- Wide supply-voltage range from 10 to 34V for the motor controller (receiver)
- Power is stabilized and adjustable in 5 steps; powerful performance for the motors also with low supply; the torque will be automatically adjusted during calibration
- Modular design, each individual function can be combined into one transmitter through simple assembly; all the last individual settings are saved
- Reverse direction of the motor rotation is adjustable on the hand-units (transmitters) and on the receiver / motor controller
- An LED column shows the position of the zoom
- Low energy consumption by the hand-unit, a battery usually lasts for the entire day of shooting
- 16 channels selectable for the transmission by push of a button
- RF Spectrum analyzer to find the best channel for transmission and optical feedback that both units work on the same one
- Emergency Feature: Transmission by connecting transmitter and receiver using a standard video cable with BNC plugs
