Remote Lens Control on the PDW-EX1
Many thanks to Tim Polster for pointing this out.
This is a screen cap from the EX1 camera rotation located at: http://assets.sonybiz.net/Flash/XDCA..._ex/index.html See attached photo (click to see it big). |

By the way that is NOT the standard 8-pin connector commonly used for Fujinon broadcast video lenses.

Personally I think the image is too dark and low res to make that call just yet.
I will agree though that this connection does not seem to stick out of the chassis like the 8pins connectors stick out of lens. |

Upon looking at a fuji lens I have, I believe Chris is correct, this is not a normal 8 pin connection.
The connector on my fuji lens here has 7 holes in a circle with one hole in the center. The photo of the XDCAM EX has 8 holes in a circle. |

Your right, this puts the nail in the coffin it is a standard 8 pin connector.
On ya Sony, Not 8 pin or standard LANC.. |

I wouldn't worry... they wouldn't go this route if it didn't add something of benefit to the existing grand scheme of remotes.

It controls Zoom and start/stop. No option for remote focus as yet.

I think I'm counting eight pins, but I still don't believe it's the standard 8-pin connector found on all Fujinon and Canon broadcast video lenses (almost all; Fuji used a 12-pin connector for awhile). For one thing, the standard 8-pin connector screws on, and I don't see any threads here. It looks like a simple friction push jack. We'll know more pretty soon of course, but my bet is that this is a proprietary connector. |

Oops, I missed several replies above... ultimately, proprietary or not, I'm just glad it's there!

Especially if it lists at the rumoured $6k. They most will have a virtual $2K to buy accessories like batteries, WA lens adaptors and zoom controllers ;-)

Let's hope for a dongle we can adapt for using our existing Fujinon zoom lense controllers....

This is certainly viable - this pic (courtesy of BEIKS, the biggest Polish pro video reseller) from IBC shows it exactly. Look how big is the thingy, connecting the adaptor with standard 8-pin Fujinon zoom controller!

The Libec controllers, for example, will work with it, and apparently they will supply an adaptor. The issue isn't very complicated, apparently.
