Manual Lenses
A wide variety of C/CS mount lenses with megapixel resolution may be used with CBC cameras. Note that
all C-mount lenses require a 5mm adaptor ring. Some lenses may also require 0.4mm-0.8mm adjustment
spacers. CBC (America) lens suggestions include:

Using Manual Iris Lenses
Choosing the lens correctly is very important for mega-pixel cameras. Poorly selected lenses may cause
the image to appear blurry when the lens iris is fully open or closed too much. To deliver sharp mega-pixel
resolution images you should:

resolution images you should:

Use mega-pixel-resolution lenses.
•
Obtain best resolution and depth of focus by having the iris slightly closed.
When setting up the camera, direct the camera at the scene and try closing the iris by several F-stops. At
some point the image will look it’s sharpest. Leave the iris closed at this value.

Using Auto-Iris Lenses
MP2 is available with DC auto-iris option. To use the DC auto-iris lens:
1) Attach the lens to the CBC camera.
2) Plug in the lens cable into the connector on the back of the camera. Make sure that the lens cable is
1) Attach the lens to the CBC camera.
2) Plug in the lens cable into the connector on the back of the camera. Make sure that the lens cable is
long enough. Many DC lenses are available with short and long cable options.
The camera will automatically detect the presence of an auto-iris DC lens and start using it. Auto-iris lens
operation typically proceeds as follows:

If illumination is sufficient, the camera will close the iris within half-a-minute.
When the iris is closed, the image should become visibly sharper. As the iris is gradually closed
the image brightness may fluctuate slightly.
Monitoring Iris Status with CBC Video System
You can monitor the state of the iris in CBC Video System “Settings” dialog. See “Operating CBC Video
