1. Introduction
The MCU-200P 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-200P at up to 300m away from the controller unit.
The Datavideo MCU-200P 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-200P 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-200P reduces cost in
manpower and equipment and saves setup time and disk space for you.
