Overview 42
TST-2 & BST-2
TST-2 & BST-2 for artemis and TRINITY generation 2 systems using a LEMO 3B, 16 pin, two
video lines socket and main cable.
What is it?
The newly developed Top Stages TST-1 and TST-2 combine three important functions of a camera
stabilization system.
In combination with an artemis camera stabilizer, the camera can be attached to the TST-1 and TST-2
modules, positioned and supplied with 12V and 24V power.
In combination with the TRINITY camera stabilizer, the TST modules carries the new Battery Hanger
module BAH-2 as also the Battery Hanger of the first generationTrinity systems.
The design and functionality of the Bottom Stage BST-1 and BST-2 is based on the design of the
Top Stage TST-1 and TST-2. In contrast, the Bottom Stage does not offer side-to-side or fore and aft
adjustment.
What does it do?
The new Top Stage Gen. 2 combines a very compact design with extremely high overall rigidity and a
future-proof modular design.
The conversion to the SAM dovetail plate standard enables a significantly higher rigidity of the dovetail
bracket, which has been improved even further by a completely newly developed clamping mechanism.
The new clamping mechanism allows the SAM dovetail plate to be picked up from above, as well as
from behind or from the front.
Thus, the BST is perfect for use with the Battery Hanger BAH-2 at the lower end of the post.
How does it work?
The modular design of the TST-2 separates mechanical functions from electronic components, which
simplifies service and enables later upgrades.
As a new standard at CSS, the Top Stage Gen. 2 uses a new 8pin LEMO 2B main power out socket
that offers 12V, 24V and battery communication. Beside two 6G HD SDI video lines, the Top Stage
Gen. 2 is equipped with LBUS Through and additional data lines for future use.
If a lower camera position is desired on top of the artemis, the modules can also be swapped.
The Top Stage now holds the Battery Hanger at the bottom of the post and the Bottom Stage is used at
the top of the post to hold the camera using the SAM plate.
This modularity offers you maximum flexibility in building the perfect rig.
What problems does it solve?
The SAM standard enables extremely quick and tool-free changes from a tripod or handheld setup to
an Artemis or TRINITY application within seconds.
The exact front and rear and side-to-side adjustments can be made from either side of the Top Stage.
So it doesn't matter if you are left handed or right handed.
The modular design enables the user to carry out essential settings himself, as well as simple and fast
service by the local ARRI service.
