Iris/Pedestal Control
The iris/pedestal control is located within the cross hairs of each camera controller.
The control illuminates red when its camera is on air.
To open or close the iris, drag the control up or down. Holding the shift key allows only
iris adjustments.
To darken or lift the pedestal, drag the control left or right. Holding the command key
on a Mac, or the Control key on Windows, allows only pedestal adjustments.
The iris/pedestal control illuminates red
when its respective camera is on air.
Zoom Control
When using compatible lenses with an electronic zoom feature, you can zoom your lens
in and out using the Zoom control. The controller works just like the zoom rocker on a
lens, with telephoto on one end and wide angle on the other. Click on the zoom control,
located above the Coarse slider and drag up to zoom in, or drag down to zoom out.
Coarse Setting
The coarse setting is located to the right of the iris/pedestal control and is used to limit
the iris range. This feature helps you prevent over exposed images from going to air.
To set your coarse threshold, completely open the iris using the iris control, then drag
the coarse setting up or down to set optimum exposure. Now when you adjust the iris,
the coarse threshold will prevent it from going above optimum exposure.
Iris Indicator
The iris indicator is located to the left of the iris/pedestal control and displays a visual
reference so you can easily see how open or closed the lens aperture is. The iris
indicator is affected by the coarse setting.
Auto Focus Button
The auto focus button is located at the bottom right corner of each camera controller.
Press to automatically set the focus when you have an active lens that supports
electronic focus adjustments. It's important to know that while most lenses support
electronic focus, some lenses can be set to manual or auto focus modes and so you
need to ensure your lens is set to auto focus mode. Sometimes this is set by sliding the
focus ring on the lens forward or backward.
