The nature of usage means that extension leads are unlikely to exist Note that the iris control typically takes a video signal, not a DC control signal (DC-Iris means there is a DC supply and and iris control signal, which will usually just be a copy of the composite video signal). -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
