 Focus length and depression angle setting application (Auxiliary tool)

The IPU (AK-SHU800) uses the focus length of the lens and the camera's depression angle information for signal processing when cutting out HD video from 8K video. Usually, focus length and depression angle information is acquired automatically within the IPU, but some lenses cannot acquire focus length automatically.
In this application, you can check and set the focus length and depression angle information used for calculation in the IPU.
