gentWIRE-lancPLUS, for professional camcorders, now supports Blackmagic Cine Cameras, including their unique set-focus and set-iris commands:
The unit can be controlled by up to 3 RC channels on the deployment device as follows:
- Ch. 1 controls REC, STANDBY and PHOTO, with the latching action. Note: The PHOTO command is not supported on Blackmagic cameras, but is included so the device can be used with Sony camcorders too.
- Optional Ch. 2 gives 3 speed control over focus. Focus can be toggled between automatic and manual (Sony operation), then adjusted from near to far. For Blackmagic cameras there is a "set-focus" command instead of auto/manual.
- Optional Ch. 3 gives 3 speed control over iris, as well as the "set-iris" command. Note: The IRIS command is only supported by Blackmagic cameras.
- An additional socket (AUX) allows visual or audio indication of unit status using gentWIRE-lancLED or gentWIRE-lancAUDIO.
- Sony cameras that have gone to 'sleep' can be woken remotely.
- Blackmagic cameras left in PLAY mode will be automatically changed to REC.
