1. Introduction
The MCU-100P is a multiple camera controller designed for controlling Panasonic camcorders. Its
useful and user-friendly design allows you to connect a maximum of 4 Panasonic camcorders
through the Ethernet cables and an adapter box. Major functions of several Panasonic camcorders
can be easily operated and controlled using the MCU-100P at up to 300m away from the controller
unit.
The Datavideo MCU-100P Controller is capable of remotely configuring Panasonic P2 Camcorders
such as the AG-HPX255, AG-HPX371 or AG-HPX600 from an OB Van. The MCU-100P can connect up
to four Panasonic cameras allowing settings from one camera to be quickly aligned with other
cameras. With features similar to the Panasonic AG-EC4G Extension Control Unit, the MCU-100P
reduces cost in manpower and equipment and saves setup time and disk space for you.
