IrisVideoLevelMin [Integer] R/W
Video-type lenses only. Limits the minimum driving voltage for opening the
lens iris. A higher minimum value slows the adjustment time but prevents
excessive overshoot.
LensDCIris
DC-Iris lenses only.
LensDCDriveStrength [Integer] R/W
Lens drive voltage. Altering this changes the speed at which a DC-Iris lens oper-
ates. The lower the value, the slower the lens operates. A higher value may
result in iris oscillation. The optimal value is lens dependent. Larger lenses typ-
ically require a larger drive voltage.
LensPIris
P-Iris lenses only. P-Iris allows discrete iris positions using an internal lens
stepping motor.
LensPIrisFrequency [Integer] R/W
Stepping motor drive rate. Lens dependent. Use value defined in GT camera user
manual, or contact lens manufacturer.
LensPIrisNumSteps [Integer] R/W
Maximum number of discrete iris/aperture positions. Use value defined in GT
camera user manual, or contact lens manufacturer.
LensPIrisPosition [Integer] R/W
Iris/aperture position. Manually control iris in PIrisManual mode, or read
back iris position in PIrisAuto mode. 0 represents fully open and 1022 rep-
resents fully closed position. Values greater than LensPIrisNumSteps are
ignored/not written.
LensDrive
Open loop DC 3 axis lens control.
Range: [0–150] Default: Camera dependent
