Libec MPC-1

The Libec MPC-1 is a multi-protocol converter for the LX-ePed 2, LX-ePed 2 Studio and LX-ePed PRO electric pedestals. It raises and lowers the column from Canon, Sony and Panasonic PTZ controllers over IP (XC, VISCA over IP, AW) or serial (NU, VISCA, AW), or from the LX-ePed PC APP. It has an LCD, buttons and its own power supply.

The Libec MPC-1 is a multi-protocol converter for the LX-ePed 2, LX-ePed 2 Studio and LX-ePed PRO electric pedestals. It lets you raise and lower the pedestal column from a PTZ controller over IP or serial, or from the LX-ePed PC APP.

LX-ePed under PTZ control

A converter that links Libec electric pedestals to Canon, Sony and Panasonic PTZ controllers and to a computer.

Height by joystick

A compatible PTZ controller raises and lowers the column of the connected pedestal with its joystick. The operator controls camera and height from one place.

Setup without a computer

The MPC-1 has an LCD monitor and easy buttons, so you switch protocols right on the converter. The settings page is clear and simple.

Stable power

The converter has its own power supply rather than drawing from the pedestal. A separate supply gives stable voltage and a strong, stable connection.

Canon, Sony and Panasonic

Over IP it supports XC, VISCA over IP and AW; over serial NU, VISCA and AW. Not every PTZ controller supports both, so check its specifications first.

PC application

LX-ePed PC APP sets column speed and precise presets, via USB or LAN.

Secure network

For IP, the maker recommends a closed, secure network such as a VPN.

V-mount power

Besides the AC adapter, the optional VM-12V adapter runs it from a V-mount battery.

Emergency remote

Without the pedestal remote, the MPC-1 can raise and lower the column.

Using the MPC-1 multi-protocol converter, the LX-ePed 2, LX-ePed 2 Studio and LX-ePed PRO bases can be controlled by PTZ controllers and the original LX-ePed PC APP, which offers various optional settings. This makes Libec electric bases more convenient and suitable for different shooting scenes. The MPC-1 also supports IP connectivity for remote control.

IP connectivity. The MPC-1 supports the following Internet protocols: XC (Canon), VISCA over IP (SONY), AW (Panasonic). This smart device allows the LX-ePed 2, LX-ePed 2 Studio and LX-ePed PRO to connect to IP over secure closed networks, such as VPN, for remote control. IP-compatible PTZ controllers can raise/lower the connected power bases using a joystick.

Serial communication. MPC-1 supports the following serial communications: NU (Canon), VISCA (SONY), AW (Panasonic). Compatible PTZ controllers can raise/lower the top post of the connected electrical base using the joystick.

Original control application for PC. The dedicated PC application"LX-ePed PC APP" offers even more optional settings, including adjusting the speed of the top column and precise preset positions. For serial communication, connect the MPC-1 directly to a PC using a USB cable. For IP connectivity, connect the MPC-1 to the Internet using a LAN cable.

Easy setup. Because the MPC-1 features an LCD monitor and easy-to-use buttons, various settings can be made using only the MPC-1, without the need for a computer or other devices. The setup page is clear and simple, allowing quick transition between protocols.

Stable power supply. The MPC-1 is designed to have its own power supply, rather than being powered by electrical outlets. This is because a separate power supply will provide a stable voltage for the MPC-1, ensuring a strong and stable connection.

V-mount battery power supply. (optional)
The MPC-1 can be powered by the included AC adapter, but also by the optional"VM-12V" power adapter, which allows operation anywhere using a V-mount battery.

Emergency operation. If the included remote control for the power base is not available, the MPC-1 can be used as a remote control to raise/lower the top column of the attached power base.
