Hello all,
I have 4 Blackmagic URSA broadcast cameras and 4 Fujinon XA20sx8.5BERM-K3 ENG Lenses that I am using with the cameras. The whole rig is am ATEM 1ME 4K switcher with the control panel, the 4 cameras, a 40x40 router and the camera control panel. All in all the system works great, tally works, I can paint the cameras, I have black level control, etc. but I do not have iris control from the camera. I can see the iris f stop on the camera, and I can see the f stop change as I manually move the iris ring on the lens, but the camera does not control the iris.
I called BM tech support before purchasing the lenses and was told that this lens would work fine. Also, on page 9 of the camera manual it lists that Fujinon lenses series XA ending with RM will work well with the cameras. Now when I call with a problem they say "sorry" and that they do not guarantee which lenses work with their cameras. Incredibly disappointing to me.
I have seen people post that they have used this lens with the URSA mini and it works, so am I just missing something? Has anyone had this experience? Why have the CCU if you can't control iris?
Thanks....
Jeremy
