Chapter 1 Getting Started with MHC
MHC Overview
Multi-Head Controller, or MHC, is software by Mark Roberts Motion
Control used to control the MRMC camera heads via Ethernet. It gives
you a smooth, precise and real-time control over a multitude of MRMC
robotic heads at the touch of a button from a single workstation. You can
also connect additional controls via USB, such as a Joystick Controller, to
the PC running MHC.
You launch the MHC Server first and the MHC Client, which can run on
the same or different PCs.
MHC Installation
You can download and install MHC v3.0 from www.mrmoco.com. Once
you have downloaded the installer, follow the on-screen instructions to
install MHC. The minimum system requirements for installing MHC
v3.0 are:

Windows 10

Intel i3 CPU
Note
MHC is configured by MRMC for the type and number of heads, the
lens motors used and the lens types as delivered. This includes MHC
License, network settings and names for each head, configuring
homing for each robot axis and lens motors (if supplied), setting the
axes soft limits and scaling for the heads supplied. These settings do
not need to be changed. This Quick Start Guide details the changes
to the settings that can be made by the Administrator and the
Operator, if needed.
