User1/User2 Shortcut Buttons

The MCU-100 /200 is able to use the assignable camera

shortcut buttons (Typically User1 / User2 buttons on the

camera).

Saving and Recalling Memory Settings

Additionally, the MCU-100/200 can store and recall its

own memory settings (settings saved in the MCU-100/200

itself), with 3 memory banks available.

Special Rotary Knob for Iris

On some other camera controllers, a single knob stores a

position value. Let's say the position is "1." When switching

from camera1 (which is on iris setting "1") to camera2, the

setting will automatically change to 1 because that's where

the iris knob's setting is on the controller. The problem

is that it's impossible to control individual iris settings

between cameras. However, on the MCU-100/200, the

iris knob is not a position knob, but instead it's a rotary

knob that increases or decreases the current setting. So for

example, with the MCU-100/200, you can have camera1

selected, which is at iris position 1, then switch to camera2.

Camera2 will be at whatever setting it is at currently, and

the knob will be used to increase or decrease the setting.

Then, you can switch to the next camera and do the same.

In this way, you can tune each camera to have their own

individual iris settings.

Connecting the MCU-100/200

First, connect the included AD-1 adapter to the camera's

CAM/BS port. Then, connect an ethernet cable from the

AD-1 to the MCU-100/200. Setting parameters can be

seen by connecting monitors to each AD-1 adapter using

a CVBS cable. MCU-100 and MCU-200 utilize locking

power connectors.

The diagram below shows a typical connection schematic

where the MCU-100/200 controls four cameras.
