This unit allows you to operate the functions of the camera up to 300m away with the MCU-200P unit.
The AD-1P adaptor connects the MCU-200P via RJ-45 Ethernet cabling to the chosen Panasonic camera.
This adaptor changes the Ethernet connection to a Panasonic CAM/BS cable run with a multi-pin
connector.
NOTE: Be very careful with the Panasonic CAM/BS cable connector which plugs into the remote socket of
the Panasonic camera. This connector only slides into the camera’s remote socket when the notches and
pins are matched up correctly. Do not twist or force this connection as damage to the camera or
connector pins may happen.
NOTE: With the AD-1P connected, the menu and other functions of the Panasonic camera may be
limited to remote control only. To regain manual control of the menu functions at the camera first
disconnect the AD-1P.
The AD-1P also features a BNC type Composite (CV) output which can be taken to an SD monitor on or
near the camera. This Composite output can be used for confidence and composition monitoring and in
some cases to view the camera’s own LCD/OSD menus too. Please note this feature is camera model
and firmware dependant.
Each AD-1P adaptor has a built in velcro strap so that the unit can be quickly mounted in a convenient
location on or near the camera.
A micro USB 2.0 port is provided for transfer of firmware updates to the unit. See Firmware Update
section for more details.
