Product Description
3.1 General
The Chrosziel CDM-FLEX-FIZ Servo Drive Unit was developed exclusively for all the lens
derivates of the CANON Flex (CNE-xx-xxx) Series and is field installable. This compact and
ergonomic design allows you to integrate the all-manual “cine-style” CANON Flex Zoom
lens into your broadcast, multi-camera, or remote head workflows in a straightforward
way. As on typical TV style broadcast lenses, all motors and connectors are brought
together in one housing with common interface connections like demand sockets, a lens
port interface, and a remote-control socket.
Three perfectly positioned drive gears engage the CANON Flex Lens with a high degree of
precision employing three powerful digital motors. The Chrosziel CDM-FLEX-FIZ is
particularly useful for cinematic Multi Camera, ENG and OB work where zoom and focus
can be controlled from standard TV style tripod demands or the onboard zoom rocker. It
supports remote head and robotics applications via the Hirose 20pin remote interface
including encoder outputs for focus and zoom motor. It allows to directly control the drive’s
focus, zoom and iris by the Chrosziel Magnum wireless FIZ hand unit via radio and all other
compatible FIZ- systems via a wired connection.
Key- features:
 User installable drive unit
 Compatible with CN-E 20-50mm & CN-E 45-135mm T2.4 L F / FP and similar
 /i-data processing
 Encoder pulse output of Focus and Zoom motor for VR applications.
 Direct support of CANON tripod demands ZSD-300 & FSD-400
 Digital Lensport protocol (on 12-Socket)
 Digital CANON Demand protocol (on 20-pin Remote socket)

2. Remove /i-data port holder (4 pin 00 size LEMO) from lens, take care not to drop/lose
the screws.
3. Make sure the threads are clean and free from damage.
4. Mount the CANON Flex Servo Drive onto the lens. Take care, that the Position Adjusting
Pin (see Figure 1) will move smoothly into the whole above the I-Data contacts on the
lens. The three gears from the CANON Flex Servo Drive must interlock with the
respective gears of the lens. The bar of the /i-data port must fit perfectly to the
corresponding notch of the lens.
5. With the additional included 2,5 mm Allen Key, screw the lower spring-loaded mounting
screw (see Figure 1) in the lower thread of the lens. Do the same with the upper spring-
loaded mounting screw. Do not fully tighten the lower screw until the upper one is
screwed in. Finally fix both screws carefully not overturning the threads. Ensure that all
gears are attached to the standard 0.8mm pitch gears of the lens.
6. Fix both M2 anti loss screws (see Figure 1) carefully.
7. Rotate the lenses gears (F/I/Z rings) by hand. The gears should move freely without
blocking from one to the other hard end stop.
8. Mount the antenna to the CANON Flex Servo drive (see Figure 3) if the Magnum hand
unit shall be used for wireless operation and select a radio channel from “5” to F,
otherwise set the code wheel to “4” or less.
9. The drive is now installed, and the lens can be used as an ENG style broadcast lens.
4.2.2 Installing and using the CANON Flex Zoom Lens as
a broadcast lens
Once the drive is installed the lens can be mounted to any PL/EF- mount camera. As the
drive features all the typical connectors of a broadcast lens, it will integrate flawlessly to
broadcast workflow.
After installing the lens to the camera, connect the Zoom and Focus demands as well as
the Lensport cable to the cameras body. Power the drive via the power cable (MN-AB-A)
from a stronger 12-15V power source (i.e., from D-tap outlet of a battery). Alternatively
power the drive from the RS 3pin Fischer socket on the camera if available. The needed
cable for this is RS-A2-P/CAM. Right after the drive is powered it will calibrate the lenses
end stops for every axis at same time as there are Focus, Iris and Zoom.
Note: lens is calibrated after each power cycle.
4.2.3 Auto calibration in detail
The calibration of the CANON Flex Servo Drive is an essential part of the setup to guarantee
precise, reliable operation of the device. Calibration is a procedure where the precise torque
resistance and the mechanical hard end stops of the lens is recorded for every axis. The
procedure ensures optimal reliability in use. Please ensure there are no obstructions
between the gears of the lenses and the CANON Flex Servo Drive. Do not touch the ring of
the lenses during calibration as this will cause false torque resistance readings.
As soon as the CANON Flex Servo Drive is connected to the power source the auto
calibration starts. While the yellow status LED´s near the Zoom/Focus/Iris buttons blinking,
auto calibration is in progress and the device identifies end stops of the lenses. Do not
touch any moving parts during auto calibration. Calibration is complete when both end
stops on every axis have been identified and the LED´s are either OFF or static ON. The
CANON Flex Servo Drive is now ready to shoot.
