Pocket-Sized Protocol Bridge for Modern Cinema Rigs

The ARRI LCUBE CUB-1 is a miniature, multi-purpose signal converter engineered to bridge communication gaps in high-end camera packages. Acting as a lightweight translator between LBUS and serial protocols, this pocket-sized unit lets focus pullers integrate diverse third-party accessories directly into ARRI’s premium wireless control network. For camera packages prioritizing minimalist builds, the LCUBE is the ultimate link for keeping critical telemetry pipelines open.

Streamlined Integration for Stabilizer and Handheld Configurations

When balancing a cinema rig on a gimbal, drone, or steadicam arm, every gram of excess weight matters. The LCUBE CUB-1 eliminates the need for large, power-hungry breakout boxes. By daisy-chaining the LCUBE directly with one or more cforce mini lens motors, operators can route telemetry from ultrasonic measuring units to the ALEXA Mini or ALEXA Mini LF camera body without adding clutter, maximizing structural freedom during complex shots.

Continuous Focus Tracking and Real-Time Distance Readouts

By translating raw serial data into clean LBUS packets, the LCUBE CUB-1 delivers instant distance readouts directly to your Hi-5 or WCU-4 hand unit. When paired with high-precision sensors like the ARRI UDM-1 or Focusbug systems, the LCUBE enables active focus tracking. This process allows the lens motor to dynamically lock onto and track the physical movement of a subject in real time, serving as an invaluable tool for single-operator shoots.

Secure, Modular Rigging via Integrated Dovetails

Despite its tiny footprint, the LCUBE CUB-1 is engineered with ARRI's signature attention to physical durability. The casing features an integrated mechanical dovetail channel designed to interface with the LCUBE Bracket (K2.0009620) or a standard 19mm/15mm Clamp Console. This secure interface guarantees the converter stays locked in position on the camera cage, resisting extreme vibrations on fast-moving action sets.
