Operation Modes – LOCK and NORMAL
There are two modes of operation on the MCU-200S.
NORMAL
: This is always active when the unit is first turned on. Under this mode all functions are
available. Buttons not back lit indicate functions that are currently not in use. The user may
activate these functions via an associated ENABLE button.
LOCK
: This mode is activated by pressing and holding down the
CHECK
button for two seconds.
When in
LOCK
mode all functions are unavailable except for the 4 Camera selection buttons and
the
CHECK
function. This is to prevent unauthorized or unintended operation during a LIVE
production. The seven segment LED display will also show Lock.
Iris controls can be quickly accessed in
LOCK
mode by pressing down on the IRIS Dial once; press
the dial again to return to full lock mode. When the Iris function is accessed in this way, if the
MCU-200S unit is left idle for 3 seconds or more then the unit will automatically return to full
LOCK
mode.
The
LOCK
mode can be deactivated by pressing and holding down the
CHECK
button for two
seconds.
