Multi-Lance Multi CRLConverter
4acrew Multi-CRL Interface > Multi Terminal to Lanc Controller
The Multi-terminal to LANCE controller serves as an interface converter bridging Sony's latest and previous control protocols.
This device enables controllers based on the LANC protocol to interfae with many of the latest caeras that only have a Multi-Terminal port.
Users can now operate various camera functions through any LANC remote controller, regardless of its age.
The MULTI-CRL unit operates in two modes:
MODE 1 (default): For professional/prosumer cameras with a free HDMI output, like the A7, FX3, FX30, etc.
MODE 2: For older/consumer cameras normally with a restricted HDMI output, like the A6300, A6400, A6500, etc.
This mode enables HDMI output while maintaining REC/PHOTO and ZOOM controls through a LANC device connected to the Multi-Terminal port.
To switch between the two modes (if you encounter a black screen with audio only on the HDMI output):
- Using SONY GRIP from FS5 or FS7 camera model > Long press F6 for > 6 seconds
- Using OTHER LANC REMOTE > power up the device while simultaneously holding the REC button of the connected LANC remote (not on the camera) for > 6 seconds.
The controller allows remote operation of the following functions, depending on the specific models of the controller, camera, and lens:
> Recording control (start/stop in video mode)
> Photo capture (in photo mode)
> Zoom control (up to 8 speed steps)
> AF/M focus selection
> Push AF
> S&Q/Normal mode selection
> Manual Iris control
> Automatic Exposure Lock AEL toggle
> Auto Iris Offset value selection
> ISO value selection
> Shutter value selection
> WB value selection
> Reversing internal/external zoom moter direction
> TILTA N&M lens motor control - Auto-detecting between external Tilta and internal lens motors (Requires optional cables)
The MULTI-CRL unit is specifically designed for use with Sony FS5 and FS7 camera grips, enabling full funcrionality with various DSLR camera brands/models.
