Description

Jump to: Features & What’s Included | Specifications | Downloads

The AIC10 is a tabletop motorized iris diaphragm (auto iris) controller designed for use with the Uniblitz AI25 Auto Iris. The AIC10 features an intuitive button array and digital user interface, allowing it to operate the iris via a modified serial command protocol. When equipped, the AIC10 will also operate the AI25’s optional high-speed shutter attachment independently from the iris. The shutter’s electronic sync allows the AIC10 to indicate the shutter’s state.

See the AIC10 User Manual for additional information regarding this device. The AIC10 is RoHS compliant and CE certified.
