Overview

SCF4 controller supports majority lenses with stepper motors. 3 independent optical axes and Day/Night switch can be manipulated independently and simultaneously.

Instead of conventional X/Y/Z axis names they are renamed to A/B/C. Evaluation board has axes assigned as listed below.

Lens L012-MFZ-2.8Z12-D14 (2.8-12mm)

L012 is 2.8-12mm Zoom/Focus and optional P-Iris lens with no reference points designed for D14-mount cameras. With D14 to CS adapter, any CS-mount camera can accept this lens without need of further modifications.

Lens L051-MZFD-5.4Z96-DIRECT (5-100mm)

L051 5.35-96.3mm Zoom/Focus/P-Iris lens with day/night filter switch is designed for direct PCB mount.

After referencing Zoom and Focus axes and using this information along with in advance calibrated presets precise lens re-configuration is possible without the need to perform auto-focus. This drastically increases the field of view change time and accuracy in complicated situations like low light, vibrations, low contrast or fast-moving scene.
