13.1 Lens Manager Menu Functions

In order to compensate ramps via the iris or to display iris values in the Camera Control Menu, one of the following two requirements must be fulfilled:

1.) Using a Lens with Lens Data System:

In this case the iris information will be transfered via a Lens Control System (LCS) Unit to the camera.

LCS Units are e.g.: Lens Data Box, FEM-2, UMC-3 or

ARRIFLEX 416 Plus (electronics side cover). Therefore creating an Iris Table is not necessary.

To register and calibrate the lens:

● Connect a lens motor to the LCS Unit.

● Start the calibration process via the „CAL“ Button in the Lens Manager Menu.

Alternatively the CAL button on the WHA-2/3 or WMU‑2/3 can be used. If no ramp compensation is intended, the iris ring of the LDS ring can be turned to enable the display of the iris values in the Camera Control Menu.

2.) Using a Lens without LDS:

In this case, an Iris Table for the Non‑LDS‑Lens has to be created manually in the Lens Manager Menu and

loaded into the LDB or Universal Remote Controller (UMC-3). See Chapter 13.2.

All created Iris Tables will be stored permanently in the internal flash‑memory of the WRC-2 and simultaneously displayed in the User Iris List for a quick access.

Iris Tables can be removed from the User Iris List for a better clarity, however, they will remain stored in the

User Folder System from where they can be added to

the User Iris List again.
