Lens through External Encoders (Basic)

1. Physical Setup

External encoders are mounted on a rod running alongside the lens barrel. Zoom and/or Focus rings can be encoded this way. For Iris external encoding, see the advanced lens encoder workflow.

On the box there are two external encoder ports, Z and F:

The zoom encoder should be plugged in Z and the focus encoder in F.

2. Configuration

In Settings/Hardware (also accessible by clicking on the lens icon on the top right), choose Lens Type : Encoder

3. Usage

Each time you reboot the EZtrack hub, do a min-max on all encoded axes for EZtrack to be able to automatically remap the encoder bounds.
