2. Setup hardware
   • [ ] Mount encoders and/or metadata boxes
   • [ ] Zero encoders
3. Configure Unreal/media server
   • [ ] Install/enable correct plugins
   • [ ] Add LOLED devices and establish communication
   • [ ] Perform lens mapping

Physical Overview

Learn about the ProMark, Indiemark 3 or Indiemark 2 lens encoders.

While there are differences between the lens encoders physically, the broad steps are the same:

1. Mount the encoder to the camera (using 15mm/19mm rods or custom mounting)
2. Engage the lens gear (0.8/0.6/0.5 mod)
3. Plug in and zero the encoder (by pressing the button)

There are multiple options for what you can plug the encoders into, overviewed below.

Connection Options

The process to setup a LOLED lens encoder will be different depending on your particular chosen hardware and workflow. There are two options--direct USB, or E2E converter boxes.

Option 1: Direct USB

Indiemark lens encoders can be plugged directly into a computer with a USB cable. Multiple encoders can be connected via USB Hub. This provides a quick and cheap way for small studios to get up and running, or to do small scale testing.

When using USB, the LONET Server software is used to connect, manage, and output encoder data. LONET Server 3 can also be used to connect directly to Arri, RED, and Blackmagic cinema cameras with a CineLink subscription.
