URSA Broadcast G2 Canon HJ14ex4.3 IASE Compatibility

PostMon Oct 03, 2022 8:01 am

Hi everyone!

On old Broadcast G1 cams, my Canon HJ 14ex4.3 IASE lens, communicate with cam and displays f numbers on LCD and Monitor and can change iris remotely from panel.. On my New Broadcast G2 cams (4 of them), the lens do not communicate with cam (Firmware 7.9.2) and no f numbers are displayed so no iris control at all only manual. Do I have to change something on lens drive or in cam in order to have the lens working with new Broadcast G2 Cams?

Do anyone have my problem or has solved?
Thanks in advance

Have you checked that the lens is definitely switched to digital and not analogue, though it should still work on analogue. You may have to increase Iris gain on the lens (normally under a small flap at the front of the servo grip).

That's strange, my older Canon HJ11 works perfect on the broadcast G2 (except push iris in filmmodus, that's a big disaster)

To let iris work remotely on an Atem you have to set auto iris to 'On' on the lens, go to the iris menu in the G2 and set auto iris to 'On' also. After that set auto iris on the lens to 'Off'.
It's a strange workflow but unfortunately there are more 'strange behaviors' with Blackmagic equipment ;)

On the Canon HJ lenses how do you check the iris analog and digital selection? I have a HJ22 but no user manual. I am having issues getting the auto iris to function.

Hi all.

I was able to let the lens working with a workaround. I switched the lens from digital to analog and now I can Control its Iris but, with some little latency.
