Introduction
The JLCooper Media Control Station
3
is a remote control for
VTRs and other machines that support Sony 9 Pin "P2"
protocol.
The MCS
3
controls professional analogue and digital VTRs,
modular digital multitracks, and disk-based VTR emulators.
The MCS
3
can also operate in certain applications as a control
station “input device” for computer-based editing systems.
The MCS
3
features a smooth, weighted and optically encoded
jog shuttle wheel with concentric shuttle ring, and transport
and function keys.
As shipped from the factory, the MCS
3
is normally configured
and “ready to use” as a VTR controller.
When the MCS
3
is intended to be used as an input device for a
computer editing system, it will need to be reconfigured
internally. Instructions for doing this are provided at the end of
this manual.
This manual relates to the features and operation of the MCS
3
as a 9 Pin/2 controller. If the MCS
3
is used as an input device to
a computer-based system, follow the instructions included with
the system.
