OK, testedmrhe new Angenieux ENG zoom on the Broadcast camera. Auto iris was quick and smooth setting. Changing the iris in Auto Iris mode, using the wheel,on the camera gave some low clicks as it moved the iris, but the change looked smooth on the screen. This is a slow movement, good for tweaking the exposure by less thst a f//stop. A faster way, if you are on sticks, and have the monitor open, is to pull down the f/stop and use the on screen slider for a very fas or slow smooth iris change, no jumps, no clicking.
Next I am testing the ATEM CCU lens commands and see if the iris change their is smooth, and IPad app. Since the the on screen control is smooth, I think this will also be a smooth change. The issues others have had with the iris moving in steps seems to be more about how the lens is interacting with the Broadcast camera, than an issue with just the camera. But FW 5.1.1 seems to have smoothed out the Iris control.
