Iris Control For Video Lens (using the MK2 Video Drop Box)
For the older type Analogue Video Lenses a Iris Video Iris Interrupter Junction Box
will need to be fitted in between the Video lens cable that plugs into the body of the
camera and the camera.
For the later lenses that offer a direct serial link for controlling the lens digital drive,
use the A & C Digi link cable for the lens in question.
When the Iris “REV-OFF-REV” switch is in the middle position (OFF), the iris is
controlled by the camera or through the Triax.
When the Iris “REV-OFF-REV” switch is in the other positions, Iris is now controlled
by the Iris control knob on the Console.
Pan Cable limits
The Pan gearbox can be limited to four turns in either direction (8 turns total) using
an electronic limit. This prevents the cables that have been fed through the middle of
the gearbox shaft being twisted to the point of failure.
To enable the Pan Cable limits the Aux “REV-OFF-REV” switch should be set to the
“OFF” or middle position before the system is powered up.
