Kessler kOS for CineDrive 4.10.6

The Kessler kOS™ app for CineDrive on iPad represents a sophisticated motion control software designed specifically for the Kessler CineDrive motion control system. This application facilitates seamless communication of motion control commands and data to the CineDrive™ Brain and is compatible with any iPad device operating on iOS 10.0 or later.

Control Versatility

With kOS™, users can effortlessly initiate various types of movements, including live, looping, stop-motion, time-lapse, GigaPixel, and event mode sequences.

Digital Key Framing

The app simplifies the key framing process by allowing users to position each axis and record the settings. This feature ensures precise repeatability of moves.

WiFi Connectivity

CineDrive generates its own WiFi network, enabling straightforward connection for users’ devices.

Key Frame Smoothing

The app allows for adding and manipulating curves to enhance the motion dynamics, facilitating smooth transitions at the start and end of movements.

Editability of Key Frames

Users can modify existing key frames without re-recording the entire move. The app supports incremental adjustments as well as easy tap-and-move capabilities for precise positioning.

Repeatable Movements

kOS™ guarantees consistent replication of any move, with options to adjust duration for various playback times. Users can blend live shots with time-lapse sequences seamlessly in post-production.

Timing Features

A scheduling option allows users to set a specific date or time for a move to commence, ensuring automation in dynamic shooting scenarios.

Flash Mark/Bloop Synchronization

The app includes built-in flash marks with adjustable delays for easy synchronization of movements. Users can select from multiple flash mark types to suit their preferences.

Pre & Post Move Photos (Time-Lapse)

This feature enables users to attach images before and after the movement sequence within their time-lapse projects.

Go To Position Functionality

KOS™ allows for defined minimum and maximum ranges on each axis, enabling users to navigate to specific positions by inputting values directly.

Load & Go Capability

This convenient feature facilitates pre-loading of moves, ensuring immediate accessibility when required.

Camera Roll Triggering

Users can program their camera to start recording ahead of the move and stop afterwards, enhancing coordination during filming.

Analog Control Panel

The built-in analog controller provides live manual control over several axes, allowing real-time adjustments during operation.

Event Mode Functionality

This mode is optimized for live events or situations that require instantaneous recall of saved positions, making it ideal for dynamic environments like concerts or film sets.

GigaPixel Feature

Designed for high-resolution imaging applications, GigaPixel is particularly effective for creating panoramic photographs and virtual tours by assembling multiple lower-resolution images.

Graph Expansion Feature

The option to expand the graph with a single touch supports precise key framing adjustments when needed.

Scrub Through Move Capability

This feature allows users to navigate through their moves quickly, facilitating key frame editing and position verification.

Looping Functions

KOS™ streamlines the looping process, enabling users to select between one-time or continuous loops along with customizable reverse options.

Camera Control Integration

The application enables direct control over the camera’s exposure time via CineDrive settings within kOS™.

Auto Time-Lapse Calculation

By entering desired clip lengths and frame rates, kOS™ automatically calculates the necessary run times for time-lapse projects.

Bump Buttons Feature

This functionality allows users to make minute positional adjustments with precision.

Dropbox Integration

The ability to upload saved moves directly to Dropbox contributes additional convenience for managing projects within kOS™.

Motor Configuration Options

KOS™ facilitates customization across each axis, allowing adjustments in axis names, run speeds, dampening effects, curve smoothness, and bump button values, enhancing user adaptability in motion control applications.
