survtech 0 Posted April 2, 2007 The difference is what signal the lens requires for the iris control. Video auto-iris lenses sample the video signal from the camera and convert it to a DC signal in the lens to adjust the iris accordingly. With DC auto-iris lenses, the camera has the circuitry that converts the video signal to a DC voltage that the lens uses to adjust the iris. DC auto-iris lenses are simpler (and therefore cheaper). Most modern cameras use DC auto-iris lenses. Some cameras can use either and will have a switch to select the type of A-I lens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
