Skaarhoj ETH-LANC Link

ETH-LANC Link is a compact Ethernet to LANC converter for remote camera control: zoom, iris and record start/stop. It talks UDP to SKAARHOJ controllers and runs on PoE or 12 V DC, so a single cable is all it needs.

SKAARHOJ ETH-LANC Link bridges Ethernet-based control systems with LANC-compatible cameras. It converts IP control commands into the LANC protocol, letting the operator control the camera precisely and comfortably from a distance. It is ideal for broadcast, live production and remote camera setups where direct access to the camera is limited.

Essential camera functions remotely

ETH-LANC Link controls zoom, iris adjustment and record start/stop. The camera can stand where the operator cannot reach.

Part of the SKAARHOJ ecosystem

Using UDP communication, it works with SKAARHOJ shading controllers and device cores. The unit address in your setup is set with the ADR# rotary switch.

One cable is enough

100 Mbit/s Ethernet with PoE brings both power and data over a single cable. A 12 V DC input is also available.

Centralised camera control

Where access to the camera is limited or everything must be run from one place, ETH-LANC Link extends network control to cameras with a LANC interface.
