SXU-1 | Electronic Control System | Camera Systems

A separate iris control unit

The Single Axis Unit SXU-1 is a simple, single-channel hand unit that can be set up to control focus, iris or zoom. The SXU-1 can be used alongside the Hi‑5 and WCU‑4 for separate iris control, operated by the DIT or cinematographer in situations where subtle exposure adjustments are required during travelling shots.
