6.2.3.5. FILTER (for Cinefade VariND only)
The cmotion Cinefade VariND consists of a motorised rotating polariser and a static
polariser which together form a variable ND lter. The lter menu is only visible when
a cmotion Cinefade VariND lter is detected in the LBUS daisy chain. The lter menu
contains all settings related to the use of a cmotion Cinefade VariND lter.
These consists of:
Filter Mode
Optical safe range
NOTICE
For detailed instructions on how to use the cmotion Cinefade VariND, please refer to the
cmotion Cinefade VariND user guide.
6.2.3.5.1. Filter Mode
The lter mode menu allows you to select between the dierent operation modes of the
Cinefade lter. These are:
VariND mode
RotaPola mode
Cinefade mode
NOTICE
A cPRO lens control system is required for remote variable ND control, remote variable
polariser control and the variable depth of eld eect (Cinefade).
6.2.3.5.1.1. VariND mode
In VariND mode, the lter can be used either standalone or controlled remotely through a
cPRO / cPRO PLUS or cPRO ONE hand unit. In standalone mode, the integrated but-
tons allow precise control over the ND gradient between ND0.4 and ND2.8. This helps
save time and eort when compared with changing traditional ND lters. In wireless
mode, the cPRO / cPRO PLUS or cPRO ONE hand unit can be used to achieve smooth
dynamic INT to EXT transitions as well as fast, precise exposure changes whenever the
camera is inaccessible.
6.2.3.5.1.2. RotaPola mode
In RotaPola mode, the lter can be rotated by 180° either standalone or controlled
remotely through a cPRO / cPRO PLUS or cPRO ONE hand unit. In standalone mode,
the integrated buttons allow precise control over the rotation of the lter to eliminate
polarisation issues including reections and glare. In wireless mode, the cPRO / cPRO
PLUS or cPRO ONE hand unit can be used creatively to achieve dynamic polarisation
changes on surfaces such as car bodywork and glass.
