1. Introduction
The MCU-200S is a multiple camera controller designed for controlling SONY studio or portable
camcorders. Its useful and user-friendly design allows you to connect a maximum of 4 SONY
camcorders through the Ethernet cables and an adapter box. Major functions of several SONY
camcorders can be easily operated and controlled using the MCU-200S at up to 300m away from
the controller unit.
The Datavideo MCU-200S Controller is capable of remotely configuring SONY Camcorders from an
OB Van. The MCU-200S can connect up to four SONY cameras allowing settings from one camera
to be quickly aligned with other cameras. With features similar to the SONY Extension Control Unit,
the MCU-200S reduces cost in manpower and equipment and saves setup time and disk space for
you.
