ARRICAM System Guide 35
Lens Data System
The Lens Data System (LDS) automatically reads focus, iris and zoom of
LDS lenses (currently Ultra Primes, Cooke S-4, Variable Primes and
other zooms). A Lens Data Box (LDB) each attaches to ARRICAM
Studio and Lite. The lens information gathered by the Lens Data Box
can then be used in a variety of ways:
• The Lens Data Display (LDD or LDD-FP) shows lens settings and
camera status, calculates depth of field and allows setting of focus
marks and focus tracking.
• The Studio and Lite Integrated Video Systems (IVS) can insert the
lens data information as text into the video assist image.
• The Wireless Remote Control (WRC) and the Speed Control Box
(SCB) can use the lens information to run speed/iris or depth of
field ramps.
• The ARRIMOTION system can read and record all lens information
and export it for further use in post production.
