5 Aux Ports
The AUX port is a multi-use port, supporting the use of Analogue controllers
(Knob/pot, Rocker, Force Joystick), Wired-Mode operation (connect the
Controller to the Receiver directly, to bypass the wireless), as well as TTL-level
serial communication.
The AUX PORT will feature on an increasing number of upcoming products,
and we will be releasing additional accessories to attach to AUX ports soon.
Available Modes of Operation
The following functions are supported by the AUX port. The AUX port must be
configured in the appropriate mode (see page 27) – it does NOT automatically
detect which of the following modes you wish to enable.
Slave Controllers (aka, Analogue Controllers)
Slave controllers (thumbwheel, rocker, etc.) directly connect to the AUX port,
and can be configured to control any available axis (Focus, Iris, etc.). Run/Stop
triggering is also supported, provided that you have an appropriate cable
connected to your camera from a CAM port.
Wired Mode (bypass Wireless)
Devices which have a 5-pin WIRED MODE socket (such as a Controller MK3.1)
can connect to the AUX port via a suitable wired-mode cable. The Status LED
on both devices will go BLUE to indicate that a connection has been made,
and that Wireless transmission is disabled.
Cinetape, Fujinon Control, Cook I/ data, RS232
Support for these protocols is coming soon. It will require an RS232 dongle,
between the AUX Port and the 3rd-party device.
