Frequently asked questions
What does each product actually do?
The MCP-108-BL is a control surface with eight programmable buttons and a volume knob designed to command networked AV equipment remotely. The NMX-ENC-N3132-C takes video input from cameras or computers and compresses it into H.264 format for streaming over Ethernet networks.
Can I use both products together in one system?
Yes. The MCP-108-BL could control AV system functions while the NMX-ENC-N3132-C handles video capture and streaming—they serve complementary roles in a larger professional AV deployment.
What are the key connectivity differences?
The MCP-108-BL connects via single PoE Ethernet plus two RS-232 ports for legacy control. The NMX-ENC-N3132-C has dual network connections (RJ45 Gigabit and 1GB SFP) for video transport redundancy, plus HDMI and VGA inputs for video sources.
Which is better for live event capture?
The NMX-ENC-N3132-C is built for live event video capture and distribution. The MCP-108-BL is for controlling systems during those events, not capturing video.
