Lens Setup:

 This is only necessary if you are controlling a servo lens through the head.  

Analog Lens:  

“Default” mode is for analog connection to Canon or Fujinon lenses and you have to 

adjust the “Analog Voltages” to suit the lens being used.  

To set up zoom, adjust the 

“Zoom Center” voltage until it stops zooming and then set 

the 

“Low” and “High” voltages equally far apart so the lens zooms the same max speed 

to wide and telephoto. 

“Zoom Mode” should be set to “Velocity.”  

For 

“Focus,” adjust endpoint voltages until you can reach Near and Infinity focal points 

on the lens. 

Digital Lens:  

The other “Digital Type” options are Canon, Fujinon and Preston, which do not require 

“Analog Voltage” setup.
