6.2.3.3.16.1. Load lens data from ARRI cameras
Compatibility overview:
When Sync cam data is turned “on” and an ARRI LDS or Cooke /i data compatible lens is
mounted on a compatible ARRI camera, the lens data will be transfered to the cPRO / cPRO
PLUS / cPRO ONE hand unit automatically. But, loading a lens le from the cPRO / cPRO
PLUS / cPRO ONE hand unit´s internal memory (or an attached USB drive) will replace the
lens le transferred from the camera.
Note: The lens data from the ARRI LDS or Cooke /i data lens will be reloaded automatically
each time the cPRO motor is initialized. For example, after rebooting the camera, rebooting
the cPRO motor / camin or disconnecting and reconnecting the cPRO motor / camin to the
camera.
NOTICE
Due to the dierent interpolation methods between ARRI and cmotion systems, the
interpolated lens values between set scale values may vary. Consequently, the display of
lens data on the cPRO / cPRO PLUS / cPRO ONE hand unit and the ARRI camera may vary.
However, because lens manufacturers do not give any specication for lens values outside of
their engraved value lines, there is no right or wrong method.
