Lens controllers

Optotune lens controllers cover a broad application range. From a compact embedded version to ruggedized industrial controllers.​

Optional extension boards are available for RnD purposes.​

Product variants

The Embedded Current Controller ECC-1C allows to control liquid lenses directly from camera or embedded systems, thus offering a compact and convenient solution for fast integration. Our industrial lenses can be ordered with the ECC-1C already integrated.

Key advantages:
  • Connects directly to cameras and embedded systems​
  • Current control from -300 to +300 mA in 80 µA steps
  • USB, UART/I2C (autodetect), Analog input (0 – 10V) and GPIO trigger interfaces

Optotune’s single channel Industrial Current Controller (ICC-1C) is for robust, precise and reliable 24/7 operation. It offers various interfaces and powering options and is designed for our industrial lenses (Hirose connector) but accept OEM lenses through an extension board.

Key advantages:
  • Output current up to +/-500 mA​
  • High output current stability in whole temperature range​
  • Ethernet, USB, UART/I2C (autodetect), Analog input (0 – 10V) and GPIO trigger interfaces​
  • Three power supply options (Barrel connector, PoE, USB-C Power Delivery) 

Optotune’s ICC-4C-500 is for robust, precise and reliable 24/7 operation. It comes with various interfaces and different powering options and can control up to 4 lenses. It is designed for industrial lenses (Hirose connector) but OEM lenses can be connected through an extension board.

Key advantages:
  • Output current of +/-500 mA​
  • Controls up to 4 lenses at the same time​
  • Ethernet, USB, UART/I2C (autodetect), Analog input (0 – 10V) and GPIO trigger interfaces 

The Electrical Lens Driver 4 offers a simple yet precise way to control Optotune’s OEM-type electrical lenses with 6- pin FPC cables and comes in a plastic housing.

Key advantages:
  • Current control from -290 to +290 mA with 12 bit precision​
  • USB powered 

The Electrical Lens Driver 4i offers a simple yet precise way to control Optotune’s industrial version lenses with 6-pin Hirose connectors and comes in a steel housing.

Key advantages:
  • Current control from -290 to +290 mA with 12 bit precision​
  • USB powered
