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.
When using a compatible lens, set the auto exposure setting to ‘manual trigger’ as detailed in
the ‘camera settings’ section of this manual.
If you’re using a B4 or PL lens connected via the broadcast 12 pin connector on
URSA Broadcast, make sure the lens iris switch on the handgrip is set to ‘A’ or ‘auto’.
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.

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.
If your lens does not have active lens control or your camera does not support zoom control via
the SDI camera control protocol then these settings will have no effect. For example, EF lenses
do not have built in servos that can zoom the lens electronically so will not be zoomable with
ATEM camera control.
NOTE
When connected to ATEM ensure that you have Auto Exposure switched off.
If you require Iris, zoom or focus control ensure that you have a lens that can be
controlled electronically by the camera.
