General directions
The Z
i
F lenscontrollers are meant for controlling all three parameters (zoom, iris
and focus) of a lens in an Electronic newsgathering (ENG) / Electronic Field
Production (EFP) environment. The three parameters can be controlled at a
maximum of two at a time. This means that either zoom and iris or zoom and focus
can be controlled.
The Z
i
F-100 is compatible with most B4 mount (broadcast) lenses. This means that
it can be used directly on Canon, Fujinon and Angenieux lenses.
Each lens manufacturer / lens setup requires a different connection cable though.
The cables for the various lens manufacturers can be recognized by a coloured tag
on the cable. A cable with a red ring is meant for Canon, green is for Fujinon and
black is for Angenieux.
The functionality’s of the Z
i
F depend on the type of lens applied. The focus-
controller only works on lenses with a built-in focus motor (Canon A-type or Fujinon
RD-type lenses). Of course it will work with Canon FPM or Fujinon FSP-modules
as well.
For iris-control the optional
i
B-100 iris-box is required and is applicable on every
lens that allows iris-control by the camera.
