Physical setup

Choose the gear that correctly interfaces with your lens. Gears can be replaced by using the included 1.3mm allen wrench.

Select the rod clamp that fits your setup, and slide it onto the clamp track. Tightening the knob will lock the clamp. When first powered on, the encoder will blink to indicate it needs to be zero'd.

It doesn't matter which side of the lens you mount the encoders. When you Zero the encoder, it will report positive values no matter which direction it is spun.

Set the lens to the following settings:

  • Focus: Close focus
  • Iris: Widest aperture
  • Zoom: Widest focal length

Once set, press the Zero button to zero the encoder. You are now set.

Using Multiple Encoders

An easy way to connect multiple encoders to one camera is to connect them all to a USB hub, and then run an active USB cable back to the PC.
