The Libec A-12P is a professional 12-pin electronic adapter cable. It acts as an 8-pin female to 12-pin male conversion bridge, allowing standard 8-pin ENG lens remote zoom controllers (demands) to interface natively with premium Fujinon broadcast lenses equipped with Hirose 12-pin control sockets.

Core Features & Practical Utility

  • Cross-Standard Control Connectivity: Standard remote zoom handles (like the Libec ZC-9Pro or ZC-9EX) use an industry-standard 8-pin layout optimized for standard Canon and Fujinon ENG lenses. The A-12P converts that 8-pin terminal to a 12-pin layout, making it possible to control high-end Fujinon broadcast and studio box lenses using your existing 8-pin hardware.

  • Full Protocol & Multi-Signal Integrity: The internal pin layout passes variable-speed servo voltage curves, Record Start/Stop commands, and Return video signals without introducing command lag or signal interruption.

  • Legacy Rear-Command Interface: In addition to current controllers, the adapter is frequently used in broadcast studio configurations to hook older, classic remote control handles (like the legacy Libec PH-9) directly to modern 12-pin multi-signal lens servo systems.

The Libec Broadcast Cable Family Sizing Lineup:

Depending on the specific studio camcorder or lens configuration you are running on set, Libec breaks down their system conversion cables into three specific target builds:

  • Libec A-12P (This Model): Converts 8-pin controllers to Fujinon 12-pin broadcast lenses.

  • Libec A-9EX: Converts 8-pin controllers to proprietary Sony PMW-EX multi-pin camera bodies (like the EX1/EX3).

  • Libec A-20P: Converts 8-pin controllers to modern Canon 20-pin broadcast/cinema lenses.

💡 Operational System Tips for the A-12P:

The Connector Sleeve Lock Check: Hirose 12-pin broadcast connectors utilize a spring-loaded outer metal locking sheath. When plunging the 12-pin male end of the A-12P into your Fujinon lens socket, align the internal physical guide keyway slot, push straight inward until you hear a mechanical click, and verify the sliding collar slides forward into place. Never twist or rotate the connector barrel forcefully if you feel initial resistance, as doing so can bend or snap the miniature gold interface needles inside.

  • Set the Correct Voltage Protocol: When utilizing this adapter with a dual-protocol zoom handle (like the ZC-9Pro), ensure the small mechanical slider toggle marked "F / C" (Fujinon / Canon) on the side of the remote housing is pushed firmly to the "F" (Fujinon) position before powering on your camera rig. This ensures the electronic voltage curve tracks properly and prevents the zoom rocker from running backward.

A Broad Overview, But Light on Modern Fine-Tuning
Format: Paperback
I'm currently really interested in fine-tuning LLMs and recently completed my first LoRA-based fine-tuning on a quantized model. I came to this book looking for more detail on fine-tuning. While it touches on the topic, I found the content didn’t quite align with the current state of the field in 2025. Techniques like LoRA, QLoRA, and PEFT weren’t really covered, and the material leaned more toward what I think are older or lower level approaches. That made it harder to connect with what I’m actually working on. That said, when I shifted to other chapters — like the sections on prompt engineering techniques such as Chain of Thought (CoT) and Tree of Thought (ToT) — I found more value. These sections were clearer, and I picked up a few practical insights, like using few-shot examples that walk through the CoT reasoning process. That’s not something I’ve tried before, and I can see how it might help smaller models that struggle with any type of reasoning tasks. Overall, the book feels more like a broad overview of all LLM concepts. For someone exploring many topics across the LLM ecosystem, it offers a wide-ranging introduction. But for readers like me who are actively trying to learn and apply techniques like fine-tuning and quantization, it may leave you wanting up-to-date guidance.

Loved it
Format: Paperback
I’ve easily read dozens of tech books. I liked this one a lot. Sure, there were boring parts, but most of it was engaging, especially on dry subjects. I previously read “How AI Works” and found this more informative and way more enjoyable. I got through the 700 pages in about 5 weeks while also learning about probability and linear algebra from other books and online sources. I’d love to read something more advanced by the author, maybe getting into more modern applications. I feel more comfortable with the subject and feel I am now ready to conquer more advanced texts. I initially picked this up to give me some background before reading “How to Build a LLM (from scratch)”. I’ve ordered an intermediary Deep Learning with Python book as well, but wouldn’t mind a more advanced theory book to accompany these books. I’ll definitely be rereading sections of this book to further familiarize myself with topics like backpropagation. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a gentle, but broad introduction to the topic.

A Good Place to Start Learning AI
Format: Paperback
Diving into the world of artificial intelligence can feel like stepping into a vast, uncharted ocean, and if you're looking for a reliable vessel to navigate these waters, this book is an excellent choice. However, I must be candid—this journey is not for the faint-hearted or those hoping to breeze through. The subject of AI, with its complex algorithms and intricate theories, is notoriously challenging. You won't find yourself flipping pages at a rapid pace, as this is not a title designed for speed-reading. Instead, it demands your full attention and a willingness to engage deeply with the material. At the heart of AI lies mathematics—a fundamental pillar that underpins the entire discipline. This book, while comprehensive, offers only a glimpse into the mathematical framework that drives artificial intelligence. But don’t be disheartened by this. Think of it as a solid foundation, a primer that will arm you with the essential concepts needed before you delve deeper into the more advanced mathematical intricacies elsewhere. When you do eventually tackle those more complex equations, you'll find yourself better equipped, with a clearer understanding of the principles at play. I should also mention that I'm no stranger to Andrew's work. Having explored some of his other writings, I can confidently say that he possesses a unique flair for communication. His ability to distill complex ideas into accessible language, without losing the essence of the subject, is truly commendable. Andrew writes with a certain finesse and sophistication that makes even the most daunting topics seem approachable. His style is not just informative, but also engaging, with a touch of elegance that sets his work apart from others in the field. In summary, while the path to mastering AI is undeniably steep, this book serves as an invaluable guide. It’s not just a starting point; it’s a beacon for those who are serious about understanding the intricacies of artificial intelligence. Be prepared to invest time and effort, and in return, you'll gain a solid foothold in a subject that is as fascinating as it is complex.

An enjoyable, and seriously excellent, path to understanding Deep Learning...
Format: Paperback
Deep Learning is changing our world. If you want to understand more, this is a great place to start. Andrew Glassner is a talented explainer - I took his short course on Deep Learning and learned so much, but also came away impressed at how well he can make complex material so clear and engaging. And this book is jammed packed with insights, visuals, and clear explanations. The author has a playful, sometimes quirky style that shines through, which gives this tour a lot of personality as well as information. Very enjoyable reading - I felt like he captured all that was good about his course (and then some) and bottled it up in this book. There is a lot more material here than in that course, and it is well laid-out and organized so that it is easy to roam around and come back to review the pieces that matter to you. Even if you plan to go to on to be a world-class Deep Learning engineer or mathematician, you have to start by understanding the concepts. And this book does a great job of presenting all the core ideas in a way that makes them clear and memorable.
