Quick Start
There are some things that need to be considered before using any part of the ATEM2LENS controller and
accessories. These include the Fuji anon Basic and Full controller, Thumb zoom demand unit, Joystick demand
unit and the Focus demand unit. These will be discussed briefly here.
Please note that the Fuji anon Basic and Full controllers need to have 12 volts 2 amps supplied to them using
the power in connector. This power is used to feed the controller electronics including powering the lens.
If the 12 volts varies in any way it could affect the lens’s servo system causing slight drifting, especially in the
zoom. When using the Fuji anon Full controller there is a setup procedure discussed later in this document
and the setup also includes a trimpot to null out any residual drift. Once this setup is done it should not need
doing again unless the 12 volt power goes out of adjustment or you change the lens. The usual operation is to
derive the 12 volts either from the same power that is feeding the camera, using the same power source each
time for the controller or always using the controller with a good 12 volt battery. Most camera power supplies
are very good at maintaining very accurate 12 volts but there are many times the camera rig has to run off
batteries.
When using the battery to power both the camera AND the controller everything should run correctly until the
battery starts to go flat. Then you may notice the zoom may start to creep, but by then the camera will
probably shut down.
1. FujiCanon Basic and Full controller
The Fuji anon Basic controller is used for ATEM IRIS only control and the Fuji anon Full controller is
used for ATEM IRIS, ZOOM and FO US with the ability to plug in local FO US, IRIS and ZOOM demand
(control) units.
Both include a Program/Preview tally that is sent to the controller box using the return SDI feed
decoded by the BMD Arduino Shield which is included in the controller package.
The controller unit needs to be set accordingly to what TALLY they will respond to and accordingly
what camera number they will command the lens to.
TOP
FUJI/CANON SETECT – Internally selects Z M control
between a Fujinon lens and a Canon lens. The LEFT
selects a Fujinon lens and the RIGHT selects a Canon
lens.
TALLY/SETUP LED – Displays RED if the selected tally
state is selected on the program buss of the ATEM,
displays GREEN if the selected tally state is selected on
of the ATEM preview buss and displays YELLOW if the
selected tally state is selected on the program buss
AND preview buss of the ATEM. BLUE indicates setup
mode.

The SETUP is used in conjunction with the STATUS LIGHT (aka tally). Each setup mode is indicated by
the colour of the Status Light. BLUE indicates CA ERA ALLOCATION mode (tally), AGENTA indicates
STATUS LIGHT BRIGHTNESS, YELLOW indicates FOCUS mode and other colours will indicate future
function setups. Quick presses of the SETUP button steps to the next setup item and LONG pushes will
select the setup item for configuration.
HOW TO SET THE TALLY/CA ERA NU BER
(also see - https://youtu.be/cYx9 1OqzYQ )
a. Using the SETUP BUTTON
There are 2 ways to set the TALLY/ AMERA NUMBER using the SETUP button. The first is by
pressing the SETUP button the number required (GREEN MODE) and the second is by selecting the
number required on the PREVIEW ROW of the ATEM (RED MODE).
GREEN ODE
i. SHORT press the setup button. The STATUS LED turns BLUE
ii. LONG press and HOLD the SETUP button until the STATUS LED turns GREEN
iii. SHORT press once for input 1, twice for input 2 etc (max of 20)
iv. When the required number is reached PRESS and HOLD until the LED turns WHITE
v. Release the button and the STATUS LED will turn AGENTA (meaning it has set the
TALLY/ AMERA NUMBER from the button count and moved on to the next setup mode.
vi. SHORT press the setup button to bypass each other setup mode until the LED indicates leaving
setup by flashing RED, GREEN, BLUE 3 times.
RED ODE
i. SHORT press the setup button. The STATUS LED turns BLUE
ii. Select the camera number you want to allocate on the PREVIEW ROW of the ATE
iii. LONG press the SETUP button until the STATUS LED turns RED
iv. Release the SETUP button and the STATUS LED will turn AGENTA (meaning it has completed
the allocation from the PREVIEW ROW and moved on to the next setup mode.
v. SHORT press the setup button to bypass each other setup mode until the LED indicates leaving
setup by flashing RED, GREEN, BLUE 3 times.
vi. When the setup mode has finished the STATUS LED will display GREEN as it now detects it is
selected on the PREVIEW ROW. If it is also selected on the PROGRAM row it will display
YELLOW.
b. Using the TER INAL USB port
i. Type t1[ENTER] to set the camera allocation to input 1
ii. Type t2[ENTER] to set the camera allocation to input 2
iii. Type t14[ENTER] to set the camera allocation to input 14 etc
HOW TO VIEW THE TALLY/CA ERA NU BER
a. LONG press the setup button. The STATUS LED turns WHITE for about a second and then blinks RED
for the camera number allocated.
b. After it has counted the camera number it will turn WHITE for about a second and exit the setup
mode.

HOW TO SET THE TALLY/CA ERA LED BRIGHTNESS
(also see - https://youtu.be/cYx9 1OqzYQ )
a. Using the SETUP BUTTON
i. Short press the SETUP button on and off until the STATUS LED turns AGENTA.
ii. Press and HOLD the SETUP button. The STATUS LED will slowly increase in brightness until it
reaches maximum. It will then step back to the minimum and start increasing in brightness
again.
iii. Release the SETUP button when the desired brightness is achieved.
iv. SHORT press the setup button to bypass each other setup mode until the LED indicates leaving
setup by flashing RED, GREEN, BLUE 3 times.
b. Using the TER INAL USB port
i. Type b[ENTER] to start the STATUS LED slowly increase in brightness until it reaches
maximum. It will then step back to the minimum and start increasing in brightness again.
ii. Type [ENTER] when the desired brightness is achieved.
HOW TO VIEW THE AUTO ATICALLY SET THE ZOO CREEP
a. Using the SETUP BUTTON
Short press the SETUP button on and off until the STATUS LED turns CYAN.
Long press the setup button and the LED will turn RED. The Lens will zoom in full and then slowly
zoom out while fast flashing between GREEN and AGENTA as it searches for the zoom NULL.
The adjust mode will exit once it sees no movement for 10 seconds or pressing the set up button.
b. Using the TER INAL USB port
Type z[ENTER]. The Lens will zoom in fully and then slowly zoom out (move lens manually if it
does not start zooming). The screen will display 'adjusting' including the current zoom position
and null value. While it automatically adjusts the zoom speed it looks for non movement. This will
be the non crawl value. The adjust mode will exit once it sees NO movement for 10 seconds or
pressing any key.
You may need to manually adjust the TRIMPOT to null out residual zoom creep.
HOW TO TOGGLE THE FOCUS DIRECTION (only for Focus Controller usage)
a. Using the SETUP BUTTON
i. Short press the SETUP button on and off until the STATUS LED turns YELLOW.
ii. Long press the SETUP button.
iii. The FO US has now reversed its direction.
b. Using the TER INAL USB port
i. Type f[ENTER].
ii. The FO US has now reversed its direction.
ATEM2LENS Users guide Page 5
HOW TO NULL THE ZOO CREEP USING THE FOCUS KNOB
a. Using the SETUP BUTTON
i. SHORT press the setup button. The STATUS LED turns BLUE
ii. PRESS and HOLD IN the FO US KNOB
iii. ROTATE the FO US KNOB until the creeping stops
(You may need to use the lens zoom rocker to zoom back if the creeping has gone to either
zoom end)
iv. SHORT press the setup button to bypass each other setup mode until the LED indicates leaving
setup by flashing RED, GREEN, BLUE 3 times.
v. Manually adjust the TRIMPOT to null out residual zoom creep
Note: While watching slow movement in one direction, when it stops moving your eyes start
perceiving that the movement has falsely started in the opposite direction. Do not be deceived by this.
I recommend using the actual picture from the camera the lens is attached to, to detect any residual
zoom creep.
