nickfarwell 0 Posted July 17, 2008 I just got a CPC4038WD from SCDlink to replace a Sony HyperHAD that was failing. I run a small private cable system in the building to monitor what is happening on stage (theatres). The last time I bought a WDR camera, the lens just plugged right in and it was a straight swapout. This time, when I plug in the 4-pin jack to enable the lens, the image pops up for second, and then fades to black. Nothing I can do can bring it back. If I half-plug the jack in, the iris seems to be stay open. I also do not have the same dynamic range as the other camera (iris is not actually being controlled?), and not all of my Computar lenses work in the camera. Do I have a bad camera? Does it require a different wiring of the plug? I'm a bit lost. I would post links, but I'm new and shiny and not allowed, so you'll have to use "the google", sorry.

RickA 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Check to see if there is a switch on the camera for dc/ video depending on the type of lens, you need to set the switch for the lens type. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3RDIGLBL 0 Posted July 19, 2008 Try turning the ALC up. I believe this adjust power to the lens and maybe it is set too low to keep the lens open. Just another thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
