Agreed, it is a bit of a mystery:<br>
<br>
- Not sure what the camera is focused on ... would appear not to
be the model<br>
- Based upon the other cameras, the bottom turret port does not
appear to be the active one.<br>
</font><font face="Tahoma"><font face="Tahoma">- Presume the lens
with a sunshade is the widest one. Wonder if that is the
active port?<br>
</font>- The cable is beefy, perhaps coax; at least one
connector appears to be UHF.<br>
- The device appears to be attached to or hanging off of the
lens.<br>
- Lots of slack in the cable would permit the turret to rotate.<br>
- One of the tally lights is missing its red lens.<br>
- Perhaps not a microphone as turret rotation noise would be
significant.<br>
<br>
With no room for a floor director on the platform, might it be a
speaker so the director can pass on directions?<br>
<br>
Else, I like the thought that it could be a remote light meter
sensor. However, if pedestal and gain can be set back at the
rack, why?<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Tahoma"><font face="Tahoma">Why couldn't it be a
motorized iris, controlled remotely? Would come in handy
outdoors; gets my vote.<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">This has been an interesting thread, Thanks very for posting the pictures.
The Gizmo on the lens is hard to identify, the lens is Not a zoon and the
attachment of the device at the front of the lens is wrong for any kind of
iris or focus drive.
Looking carefully at the best resolution pics from Bob the cable does not
enter the camera? It seems to loop through one of the rear feet on the
camera base and head off down and else ware.
It's a bit of a mystery, it could be a microphone or maybe a sensor for a
remote lightmeter, don't forget this is an experimental prototype camera and
the picture is a posed one rather than a real production use.
