FAQ
Can the Servo cables be purchased separately?
Yes, cables can be purchased separately here:
Control Cable ‣ Servo to Canon 20-Pin Hirose
Control Cable ‣ Servo to Fujinon 20-Pin Hirose
Control Cable ‣ Servo to Fujinon 10-Pin Hirose
Does Control Deck require new firmware to work?
Yes. you must be on a minimum of V2.3 on Control Deck.
Can I use the Fujinon 20-Pin Hirose splitter cable with a Canon lens?
Unfortunately no.
Fujinon and Canon servo lenses feature the same Hirose port, but use different pins for control.
⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
It is important that you DO NOT use the Fujinon splitter cable with a Canon lens. Damage may occur.
Vice versa, we advice that you DO NOT plug a Canon 20-Pin cable into a Fujinon lens.
Why does the Fujinon 20-Pin Hirose splitter cable have a D-Tap?
Fujinon Cabrio lenses relied on LDS pins for power, but some cameras don’t have these on their PL mounts.
The same Cabrios also don’t have a 12-Pin lens cable, or more than one 20-Pin Hirose port… 🫤
The D-Tap is there for when your camera can’t power the lens servo.
Does LCH require its own power source?
LCH draws 5V power from the AUXIO port to power the module.
The 5V does NOT power the Servo Lens OR Nucleus FIZ Motors.
My servo lens has 6-Pin, 8-Pin, and 12-Pin Hirose ports, can I use an adapter to connect to LCH?
No.
6-Pin, 8-Pin and 12-Pin are older generations of Hirose (analog control only). LCH is designed for digital serial control.
My servo lens has multiple Hirose ports, which one should I use?
For 20-Pin Canon servo lenses, use the port marked ★ / VIRTUAL / SERIAL
For 20-Pin Fujinon lenses, use the one marked with EXPANSION / EXP / SERIAL
For Fujinon lenses that have RD or ZD (servos for F+I+Z), and S48 or S58 in their model number, the 10-Pin Hirose port will be marked SERIAL.
Where does LCH mount?
LCH mounts neatly to the NODO dovetail bosses.
We recommend using the Vector to Saturn Dovetail Plate (95mm) (N10243) on top of the Saturn motor. This work better for tilt clearance than the rear or front of the side Saturn dovetails. This also means short run to AUXIO port, plus maximum cable clearance for Servo or Nucleus control cable.
Other mount adapters from NODO:
20mm M4 to Dovetail Boss Adapter (N10307)
Works with any 20mm spaced M4 holes. Allows flexible mounting of accessories like Ignite Digi's TPEP, LCH or NODO's Rosette mount
20mm M4 to Right Angle Boss Adapter (N10315)
Works with any 20mm spaced M4 holes. Allows flexible mounting of accessories like Ignite Digi's TPEP, LCH or NODO's Rosette mount
What do the LED lights signify?
SERVO LED:
SOLID = LCH sees a Servo lens.
BLINKING = Servo lens not connected.
ORANGE = LCH has full FIZ Control.
BLUE = LCH has Focus and Zoom Control / Camera has Iris Control (for CCU use).
PURPLE = RCP2 mode enabled. This will enable when one of the RCP2 control cables are plugged into the SERVO port.
TORQ LED:
SOLID GREEN = LCH is communicating with the TORQ Head.
WHITE = LCH has not sensed a TORQ connection. Check that the AUXIO port setting is set to 'TAMBR' on the TORQ App,
