CDM-XK-Z2
CDM-XK-Z2 CDM-MK-Z2 - servo drive unit for Fujinon Zoom XK 20-120mm for controlling zoom. For usage with orig. Sony handgrip (PXW-FS5, PXW-FS7) or LANC zoom devices. ZOOM SERVO DRIVE FOR FUJINON XK ZOOM LENS: CDM-XK-Z MOTORIZE YOUR FUJINON XK6X20 20-120MM T3.5 WITH CHROSZIEL SINGLE UNIT MOUNTED ONTO LENSTwo captive screws keeping the single servo drive unit permanently fixed onto lens.CONTROLLED VIA SONY FS & LANC HANDGRIPThe Sony FS5 / FS7 handgrip zoom rocker controls directly the servo drive unit. Other zoom rockers with LANC protocol are compatible too, e.g. mounted to handgrip.CAMERA CONTROL SIGNALS FORWARDEDControl signals (e.g. menu / user buttons / focus magnification / camera run & stop) are immediately looped through to the camera.4 ZOOM MODESEB / Documentary, Live / Hardcut, Silent, Direct Mode_________________________________________________________________All in one single housing Developed for the Fujinon XK6x20 20-120 mm zoom lens the CDM-XK-Z enables ways of creativity that may be impossible just by zooming manually. To simplify the operator’s workflow the zoom servo drive is directly mounted onto the lens by two captive screws. The weight of the CDM-XK-Z including digital motor, gear, PCB with CPU, screws and cabling is 0.44 lbs. (197 gram). With the zoom servo drive Chrosziel addresses camera operators who are working in the broadcast and documentary sector looking for a reasonably priced zoom servo drive. _____________________________________________________All camera control signals forwarded Control commands (e.g. menu / user buttons / focus magnification / camera run & stop) are immediately looped through to the camera via the LANC protocol. By using a Sony PXW-FS5 or a Sony PXW-FS7 camera with a SWIT battery a D-Tap to a (straight or angled) Lemo compatible 5-Pin power cable is used (Chrosziel order numbers: MN-AB-A with angled Lemo compatible socket / MN-AB with straight Lemo compatible socket). The two Jack-Jack cables are forwarding the control commands from the hand grip. If e.g. a Panasonic Varicam, Sony PMW-F5 or Sony PMW-F55 are used a combined cable with power and start / stop is required, like a Hirose 4-Pin to a (straight or angled) Lemo compatible 5-Pin cable (Chrosziel order numbers: F55-A2-PCAM-A with angled Lemo socket / F55-A2-PCAM with straight Lemo compatible socket). Also, the two Jack-Jack cables are forwarding the control commands from the hand grip. Also, Chrosziel offers a variety of power cables with straight and angled plugs for all types of camera power out sockets and batteries including camera run / stop functionality. _____________________________________________________Chrosziel CDM-XK-Z Zoom Servo Motor: zoom modes For freedom of creativity the operator may choose from four different zoom modes: EB / Documentary Mode, Live / Hardcut Mode, Silent, and Direct Mode. EB / Documentary ModeDesigned for long and smooth zoom drives with the CDM-LWZ3-Z it offers slow creeping zoom transitions while keeping the motive perfectly framed.Silent ModeTo reduce the sound of the zoom servo drive the maximum speed of its motor is limited to 40 percent making the setup almost inaudible.Live / Hardcut ModeTo catch the best moments, the Live / Hardcut Mode is useful. It uses 80 percent of the maximum speed capacity of the motor offering fast zoom drives but with Soft Ramping.Direct ModeThe Direct Mode finally uses the full speed capacity of the Zoom Servo Drive. The LANC commands are implemented instantaneously without ramping and smooth transitions. Useful for B camera operators catching snaps shots from the concert.______________________________________________________________How to change zoom modes You can choose the different modes by pressing the zoom rocker for round about 25 seconds, then the green LED flashes very fast while changing the zoom mode and after that it blinks 1, 2, 3 or 4 times* – depends on the zoom mode you chose (* 1 = EB / Documentary / 2 = Silent / 3 = Live / Hard Cut / 4 = Direct). To cycle through these all you need to do is hold the zoom rocker down one way for a couple of seconds to switch to the next mode, and the other way, hold to reverse.
Lensport Iris Motor for cine lenses and Hirose 12pin output cameras
Lensport Iris Motor for cine lenses and Hirose 12pin output cameras Universal Lensport Iris Motor for cine lenses in Broadcast / ENG Run& Gun setups 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 Manual Passive Mode: For temporary manual control, the motor can be set to passive mode. Simply press the motor button once briefly and the motor can be rotated freely. Once the button is pressed again, the motor is back in Active mode and controlled by the camera. Metadata: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! FEATURESUniversal Iris motor The 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. Controlled via any Hirose 12pin camera outputThe camera's Hirose 12pin Lensport output controls directly the Iris motor unit. Remote Iris and AutoIris controlUse the Iris motor in a remote setup and control it via the RCP or WebGUI of any camera with Hirose 12pin connector. Or switch on the AutoIris functionality of your camera and the camera uses the Chrosziel Univeral Iris Motor for AutoIris control.
