Please notice if a Zoom in/out adjustment have been initiated on a SKAARHOJ controller and one try to
zoom directly on the lens this will overrule Zooming from the SKAARHOJ controller.
If a Focus near/far adjustments have been initiated on a SKAARHOJ controller and one try to focus directly
on the lens this will overrule Focus adjustments from the SKAARHOJ controller.
This is a table of actions for some of the actions in the Panasonic CX350 Device Core (noted with EVA1
actions but principle is the same)
Initiates a Creep Zoom in/out with speeds between -8 to +8
Binary triggers:

to +8)
Pulse inputs:
Will cycle between -8 to +8. When -8 Creep Zoom out is at
the highest speed. When +8 Creep Zoom in is at the highest speed.
When 0 no zoom is initiated.
Displays:
“Creep Zm/Speed of zoom”
Zoom in/out with steps defined to a specific value. Used to quickly zoom
to a desired range
Binary triggers:
Will only reflect the current zoom value in mm
Pulse inputs:
Will zoom in/out with the given speed value
Speed Limit 1: Small steps
Speed Limit 8: Large steps
Displays:
“Step Zm/Zoom range in mm”
Zoom in/out with small steps to a specific value zoom range
Binary triggers:
Will only reflect the current zoom value in mm
Pulse inputs:
Will zoom in/out in small steps to set a specific zoom
range. Only recommended to use for very small adjustments. Reacts
slow if turned multiple times
Displays:
“Fine Zm/Zoom range in mm”
Used to zoom in/out via buttons instead of a encoder
