Spectrum Studio Wireless Gaming Remote Control Overview

Getting Started with the Wireless Remote

Every new Spectrum Studio leaves our production facility paired with the remote included in the box. To connect to your remote to the Studio, power on the Studio by connecting the power adapter or battery and press and hold the circular center "PS" button for approximately 1 second. The LED on the front of the controller will blink for up to 20 seconds before turning solid blue, indicating it has paired. If you're having trouble getting your remote to connect, or need to pair a new remote, take a look here.

The small rectangular protrusion directly above the Spectrum Studio's power port is the Bluetooth dongle which allows the remote to pair with the Spectrum. We recommend leaving this inserted at all times.

Controlling the Studio

The diagram below is a reference to the buttons on the controller. Moving forward, this guide will reference the controls listed. If you're having issues replicating functions, please refer to this image to confirm you're using the correct controls.

D-Pad: Navigate interface

Left Joystick: Control live motion

Right Joystick: Control live motion

X Button: Select/advance

When you power on the Studio, the first thing you see is the splash screen as the firmware is loaded, then the main menu. Navigating menus is easy and controlled by the D-Pad. Up/Down allows you to move between options in a menu, X selects the currently highlighted option (or enters the sub-menu as applicable), and left on the D-Pad returns to the previous menu selection.

Driving the Studio is done through the left and right sticks and R2/L2 triggers. The Studio uses contextual controls, so movement is enabled only under certain contexts. We'll explore this in detail below; for now, try navigating to the "Live Motion" menu and driving the Studio live with the following controls.

• Right stick - Drives pan and tilt axis. Inflecting the stick left or right will pan in the corresponding direction. Inflecting the stick up (away from the user) tilts the camera downward, inflecting down (toward the user) tilts the camera upward.
• Left stick - Drives the M3 port. In a standard setup, with a slider motor connected to the M3, Inflecting the stick left or right drives the slide in the corresponding direction.
• R2/L2 - Drives M4 port. Generally this is connected to focus or another motorized accessory.
