  • Publication number: 20250159328
    Abstract: A camera component has a communication device for transmitting control signals and/or status signals, said communication device comprising a control unit and at least one electrical terminal, wherein the electrical terminal has at least two energy supply contacts and at least two signal contacts, and wherein the control unit is configured to perform the following steps when the communication device is connected to a further communication device of a further camera component via the electrical terminal: performing a first check whether a communication in accordance with a first protocol is possible with the further communication device; then, performing a second check whether a communication in accordance with a second protocol is also possible with the further communication device; and in the event of a positive result of the second check, establishing a communication with the further communication device in accordance with the second protocol.

  • Patent number: 9444986
    Abstract: A remote control unit for an objective and a camera comprises a base part, an operating element movable relative to the base part, an evaluation and control unit for generating a control signal in accordance with the position of the operating element and an output device for outputting the control signal to an associated camera. The evaluation and control device is adapted to control a feedback device of the control unit in dependence on the position of the operating element to generate at least one feedback signal perceivable by a user.

  • Patent number: 6624603
    Abstract: A method and a device for incrementally determining the actual reversal of a rotary drive that rotates on slightly even after a preceding signal switching the rotational direction is applied. A sequence of pulse signals (N; S; SL) that are proportional to the rotational speed, with an intermittent reference signal (SL) that is different from said pulse signals, is output by an asymmetric transmitter wheel (1) and received by a single sensor (3) located on the stator. A pulse signal correction value for determining the pulse signal count value corresponding to the actual reversal (U) of the rotary drive is defined, based on the number of pulse signals that are measured between two reference signals following a switch of direction.
