Installation
LENS MOUNTING
The C10CH Series camera supports both manual and auto iris lenses, either fixed focal length or varifocal. It also supports both DC and video drive lenses. It automatically senses an auto iris lens as soon as you plug in the connector. The camera has a standard CS mount that can accept a C mount lens with a PCMA40 lens adapter.
After mounting a DC drive auto iris lens, but before using the camera, perform the DC drive auto iris automatic adjustment procedure (refer to DC Iris Level on page 20). Also perform this procedure each time you change the lens.
