A

completely self-contained crystal-

controlled drive motor features two
modes of operation: either 24 or 25 fps as
the

prime rate (with high/low fps range
selection). This provides a total of 13 dif¬

ferent switched

speeds in each mode

(ranging from 6 fps to 96 fps in the 24 fps
mode, and from 61/4 fps to 100 fps in the
25 fps mode). Continuously variable
speed (from 6 to 100 fps) is made possi¬
ble

by means of a remote control cable
can be plugged into the
output con¬
nector. This connector also provides a
mid-shutter pulse for use in syn¬
chronizing the film camera to a video
screen. Audible and visible
out-of-sync
warnings are provided (the visible indi¬
cators are located on the control panel
and in the viewfinder).
The drive motor is an extremely power¬
ful permanent magnet type that is integral
that

to the camera. The drive motor and all the
camera

circuitry can be operated from

any power source that has a voltage of 12
to 32 volts DC. Pulse width modulation

keeps power consumption constant over
full range of input voltages. For speeds
up to 100 fps, however, the power source

a

has to be at least 24 to 32 volts DC.
Power consumption at 24 fps is approxi¬

mately 25 watts.
A unique design feature of this camera,
which we pioneered in the CP-16R, is the
inclusion of an "on-board" battery. This
plug-in battery has the capacity to run at
least four 120m magazines (operating at
24 or 25 fps). This feature makes the
camera totally self-contained for maxi¬
mum flexibility in hand-held
operation.
Battery condition indicators are provided
via a low battery light in the viewfinder
