Working on a film set is a hectic business, and the equipment must meet high standards so you can perform your job as efficiently as possible. In designing this new generation of components for the Wireless Remote System we have carefully looked at the needs of the assistants and talked to many of you about existing lens and camera remote systems. In addition we have talked to many rental houses about their needs. As a result these new components are substantially smaller and lighter than before, while at the same time having longer battery life and a more robust radio transmission.

No shoot is like the other, and a fast Steadicam chase requires a different wireless setup than a camera on a crane for a music video with speed ramps. To make sure that you can quickly assemble a wireless system for any type of shoot, the new system is modular to the core. It is as easy to assemble a minimal configuration that controls just focus and camera as it is to add wireless control for complex ramps or the Lens Data Display for an accurate display of lens rings and camera status. This system has the flexibility to provide just the right tool for the job, while offering an unrivaled list of features.

Our new Wireless Remote System can control almost all camera and lens functions for ARRI cameras, including tight integration with ARRICAMs and the 435

Xtreme, and all lens functions for many other cameras. We have simplified some procedures, like setting limits, and made sure the old components still fit the new gear.

It has been fun to develop this system, and we hope that it helps you on your next job.

I N T R O D U C T I O N

A lens and camera control system as modular and flexible as the ARRI Wireless Remote System necessarily consists of many individual parts. This guide is designed so you can easily navigate those parts and get an overview of what is available and how the system can be configured. For clarities sake, we have divided the individual parts of the system into the following categories. Please note that many of the smaller accessories are not listed separately on this page. A full listing can be found in the Compatibility Table at the end of this guide.

0 5

Lens Motor

Camera Radio

Motor Controller

Camera

Hand Radio

Hand Controller

Hand Radios

These are held in the hand of the assistant and are responsible for creating the radio link to the camera radio.

The technical name for the hand radios is “Wireless Main Units”. The Wireless Remote System includes the

Wireless Main Units WMU-1, WMU-2 and WMU-3.

Handgrip Attachments

Handgrip attachments can be used instead of hand radios when a cable connection is preferred. The Wireless

Remote System includes the Wired Handgrip Attachments WHA-1, WHA-2 and WHA-3.

Hand Controllers

These attach to the hand radios or handgrip attachments, and control or display aspects of the lens and camera.

They may control focus, zoom or iris, they may control speed ramps or display lens information. Hand controllers for lens control include the Wireless Focus Units WFU-1 and WFU-2, plus the Wireless Zoom Units

WZU-1 and WZU-3. The Wireless Remote Control WRC-1 is a hand controller for complete camera remote control, and the Lens Data Display for Focus Puller LDD-FP can accurately display lens and camera status.

Camera Radios

Camera radios are attached to the camera and communicate with the hand radios. Camera radios include the

Universal Radio Module URM-1, URM-2 and URM-3. Camera radios are also part of the Lens Data Boxes

LDB and LDB-2 for ARRICAM Studio and Lite.

Motor Controllers

Motor controllers contain the electronics to drive the lens motors. In the case of the ARRICAM Lens Data

Boxes, both motor controller and camera radio are combined into one unit. Motor controllers include the

Universal Motor Controller UMC-1 and the Functional Expansion Module FEM-2, plus the Lens Data Boxes

LDB and LDB-2 for ARRICAM Studio and Lite.

Lens Motors

Lens Motors connect to the motor controllers, and physically move the lens rings. The Wireless Remote System includes the Controlled Lens Motors CLM-1 and CLM-2.

N O T E S

Old Radio Modem vs. New Radio Modem

The new radio modem inside the WMU-3, Studio LDB-2, Lite LDB-2 and URM-3 is smaller and lighter than the old one, it draws less power and has a more robust transmission scheme. Because of that, it is not compatible with the old radio modem used in the WMU-1, Studio LDB, Lite LDB and URM-1.

To preserve the rental houses' investment in the existing hardware, we offer an upgrade path to install the new radio modems in the old hardware. The old hardware with the new radio modem will be labeled WMU-2, Studio LDB-2, Lite LDB-2 and URM-2.

This naming scheme roughly follows the following convention:

Old hardware, old radio modem: XXX-1

Old hardware, new radio modem: XXX-2

New hardware, new radio modem: XXX-3

So you can easily distinguish between the old and new radio modems, we have also added a blue washer around the antenna port of the new radio modems. A detailed description of the differences between the new and old radio modems can be found in the ARRI Technical Note P-1030 “New Wireless Radio”, which is located on the

DOWNLOAD page of the ARRI web site.

Using Cables Instead of Radio Transmission

There are two ways to connect the hand controllers with cables to the cameras:

First, the Wired Handgrip Attachments WHA-2 or WHA-3 connect with cables to the cameras, and the hand controllers can be attached to them. Use cables LC-M1, LC-Z1 or LC-Z2 to connect to the LCS port of a 435 Xtreme or ARRICAM, or KC-70 to connect to the CAC port of an ARRICAM. The Wired Handgrip Attachment WHA-1 connects the Wireless Remote Control WRC-1 with cable WC-W1 to the CCU port of all models of ARRIFLEX 435, 535 and 16SR3 or to the remote port of the ARRIFLEX 235.

Second, it is possible to connect a cable between the antenna connector of the hand radios and the camera radios. Cable WC-A3 can be used to connect the WMU-1 antenna connector to the antenna connector of URM-1, Studio LDB or Lite LDB. The same cable is also used to connect the WMU-2 or WMU-3 to the antenna connector of

URM-2, URM-3, Studio LDB-2 or Lite LDB-2. Don’t use cable WC-A1. Authorized

ARRI Service Centers can upgrade cable WC-A1 to WC-A3.

Please note that with or without a cable, units with the old radio modem are not compatible with units with the new radio modem.

Cable WC-A2 can be used for extending the antenna away from a radio unit.

What About the Wired Lens Control System?

Most parts of the wired Lens Control System can still be used with some minor limitations. Below is a short run down of compatibilities. Details can be found in the Lens

Control System manual.

The Zoom Main Unit (ZMU-1 or ZMU-2) can be connected with a cable to the UMC-1,

Studio LDB, Studio LDB-2, Lite LDB, Lite LDB-2 or FEM-2 to control zoom. It is also possible to connect the Zoom Main Unit directly to the CLM-1 motors, which in turn must be connected to a UMC-1, LDB, LDB-2, FEM-2 or external power supply. Having multiple zoom controllers connected (like a ZMU and a WZU, for instance) is not a problem, even though one of them will be the master and the other one will not function.

One or two Focus Iris Units (FIU-1) can be connected to a ZMU-1 or ZMU-2. From

ARRICAM Software packet 03E on this configuration will also work with the ARRI-

CAM system. When using the FIU-1 with the ARRICAM system, it is recommended to not use a Wireless Main Unit or WHA-2 at the same time.

Wireless Main Unit 3 (WMU-3)

The Wireless Main Unit is the heart of the ARRI Wireless Remote System. It accepts the hand controllers for focus and iris (WFU-1, WFU-3), zoom (WZU-1, WZU-3), camera remote control (WRC-1), the Lens Data Display for Focus Puller (LDD-FP) and it communicates with the camera. Up to three Wireless Main Units can talk to one camera at the same time.

The WMU-3 is small in size and lightweight, making it easy to hold for long periods of time. In addition, the new radio modem has a more robust transmission and less power consumption than its predecessor. An ergonomic hand strap assures that the whole unit stays safely in the assistant’s hand.

Unique to the WMU-3 are the abilities to accept the Lens Data Display for Focus

Puller (LDD-FP) and to accept two control units at once using the Wireless Expansion

Bracket (WEB-3). It is possible, for instance, to use the Lens Data Display for Focus

Puller (LDD-FP) together with a Wireless Focus Unit (WFU-1 or WFU-3).

Another possible combination is the Wireless Remote Control (WRC-1) with a

Wireless Focus Unit (WFU-1 or WFU-3). By employing two Wireless Main Units

WMU-3, it is possible to have focus, zoom, iris, camera remote control and the LDD-

FP all at the same time.

Compatibility: The WMU-3 communicates with URM-2, URM-3, Studio LDB-2 and

Lite LDB-2. As power supply the Wireless Battery Unit WBU-3 has to be used; WBU-1 and WBU-2 cannot be used. The WRC-1 needs to run at least software version 1.08.

When using the WMU-3 with the Wireless Remote Control (WRC-1) or the Lens

Data Display for Focus Puller (LDD-FP), neither WZU-1 nor WZU-3 should be attached between the units. LDD-FP and WRC-1 cannot be used on one WMU-3 at the same time. Neither can two WRC-1 or two LDD-FP units.

Notes for WMU-3 (new radio modem):

• Except for the WFU, the same two hand controllers cannot be attached to the

WMU-3. When two WFUs are attached, the FOCUS/IRIS switch must be switched up for one unit, and down for the other before the WMU is turned on.

This will assign focus to the hand wheel of one unit and iris to the hand wheel of the other.

• Don’t attach the WRC-1 and the LDD-FP to the same WMU-3. To operate a

WRC-1 and LDD-FP simultaneously, two WMU-3 units must be used. The same is true for two WRC-1 and LDD-FP units.

• Neither WZU-1 nor WZU-3 should be placed between LDD-FP or WRC-1 and the Wireless Main Unit.


• A UMC-1 is not needed on a 435 Xtreme, since UMC functions are integrated into the FEM-2 of the 435 Xtreme.

Items marked in yellow (light grey on b/w prints) are equipped with the old radio modem and are compatible only with other yellow items. Blue marked items (dark grey on b/w prints) are equipped with the new radio modem and are only compatible with other blue items. Items without a color do not care which radio modem is used. In the “Compatible with” column we have only listed items that can be directly attached and/or connected to each other.

Camera Radios & Motor Controllers

Camera radios communicate on the camera side with the hand radios. Motor controllers contain the electronics to drive the lens motors. In the case of the Lens Data Box, both are contained in one unit.
