MC1 USB Mini Controller
Introduction
The Okii MC1 (patent pending) is a battery powered, handheld USB host device, designed to
control video enabled Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras.
The MC1 allows you to control important camera functions such as video start/stop; digital zoom
to aid with focusing; autofocus; and adjusting ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. It also includes
an optional recording restart feature, which can automatically stop and restart video recording at
11-minute intervals for long film sequences, or can act as a fail safe.
The MC1 is primarily intended to be mounted near a handle on a rig to provide easy access to
video start/stop and settings changes. It can also be used as a wired remote, and has been
tested past 25 meters using normal (non-powered) USB extension cables. The HDMI output of
the camera is not interrupted, allowing the MC1 to be used simultaneously with an external HDMI
monitor or electronic viewfinder.
