Getting started

control, we are happy to have you as a customer.
A statement of warning/caution/excitement if you are used to other motion control: The spectrum
ST4 is going to push what is possible with motion control. It will push you in the process if
you let it.

like your camera, the unit should not be used

Connections / Ports
1. 8 way Navigation Stick (NavStick): on
spectrum control for navigation, selection
and setting up programmed key-frame shots
without a remote. See how to program a shot
using only this controller - https://vimeopro.

2. Camera shutter port: Triggering you DSLR is
accomplished by hooking up a camera specic
shutter cable from the st4’s camera port to
your camera’s shutter release port. During
a timelapse sequence the st4 sends a focus
signal and shutter signal to your camera at the
same time for the duration of the Static Time
setting. Hint - Take Test Shots: The PS4 Controllers’
right trigger (R2) will focus and re the camera on most
screens. A half press is focus, and a full press is shutter/
focus to trigger your camera to shoot.
3. USB port: Future functionality - Powering the
spectrum for motor moves from any USB port
is not supported.
4. i/o port: The spectrum’s i/o port is used for
serial communication to external devices.
5. Remote control port: This full-sized USB
port is dedicated to hold the PS4 Controller’s
wireless dongle. If you remove the dongle
for travel, keep it safe. You can’t connect the
remote without it!
6. uSD card slot: The spectrum st4 ships with
a uSD card. This card and port are used for
rmware upgrades and future support of
saved moves and settings.
7. M3 (motor 3) port: The 3rd powered stepper
port typically used for slider, but can be used
for any approved stepper accessory. This
port is controlled by the PS4’s Left Joystick
(left/right)
8. M4 (motor 4) port: The 4th powered stepper
port typically used for Fz, but can be used for
any approved stepper accessory. This port is
controlled by the PS4’s triggers (L2/R2).
Did you know? – Did you know the “4” in “st4” is
for 4 axis control. The spectrum st4 is the rst 4 axis
powered controller of its type. We think having more
axis give you more options to play increasing the
palate of possibilities. Go tell better stories.
