The universal Iris Motor is a compact and universal Iris motor that can be pivoted to almost any lens by simply mounting it on a 15mm rod. The universal motor unit CDM-LP-I fits seamlessly into the operating functions of any camera with Hirose 12pin lensport communcation. The servo drive is controlled via the 12pin Hirose output of the camera. The motor control can be addressed via the camera-specific Broadcast protocol and also works in conjunction with e.g. the MetaMount E-to-PL adapter.

The Chrosziel Lensport Iris Motor now allows optimal use of all manual zoom and prime lenses together with any camera with Hirose 12pin output. For this purpose, the Iris motor is slid onto a 15mm rod and swiveled onto the zoom or prime lens. The curled Hirose 12pin cable establish the connection with the camera.

Compatibility:

The Universal Iris Motor has been successfully tested with the following cameras (manual and automatic iris control):

• ARRI Amira
  
• Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 & URSA Mini Pro 12K
  
• Canon C300/500 with EU-V2 expansion unit
  
• Panasonic AK-PLV100
  
• Sony F5/F55 with LA-FZB1 adapter
  
• Sony Venice
  
• Sony E-Mount cameras with Chrosziel MetaMount MA-EPL-HR12
  

For setup, the cable is connected to the Hirose 12pin socket of the camera. The motor automatically calibrates itself and finds the endstops of the lens. For metadata calibration, the motor needs to learn T-Stop 4 and 16. With the press of the only button, the motor goes into passive mode and the user can turn the motor without resistance. The motor is turned to T-Stop 4 and the the press of the button confirms the position. Afterwards the motor is turned to T-Stop 16 and the position is confirmed with another press of the button. Ready!
