The AD-1P adaptor connects the MCU-100P via RJ-45 Ethernet cabling to the chosen Panasonic
camera. This adaptor changes the Ethernet connection to a Panasonic CAM/BS cable run with a
multi-pin connector.
NOTE:
Be very careful with the Panasonic CAM/BS cable connector which plugs into the remote
socket of the Panasonic camera. This connector only slides into the camera’s remote socket when
the notches and pins are matched up correctly.
Do not twist or force this connection as damage to
the camera or connector pins may happen.
NOTE:
With the AD-1P connected, the menu and other functions of the Panasonic camera may be
limited to remote control only. To regain manual control of the menu functions at the camera first
disconnect the AD-1P.
The AD-1P also features a BNC type Composite (CV) output which can be taken to an SD monitor
on or near the camera. This Composite output can be used for confidence and composition
monitoring and in some cases to view the camera’s own LCD/OSD menus too.
Please note this
feature is camera model and firmware dependant.
Each AD-1P adaptor has a built in velcro strap so that the unit can be quickly mounted in a
convenient location on or near the camera.
A micro USB 2.0 port is provided for transfer of firmware updates to the unit. See
Firmware Update
section for more details.
