Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the MCS3-SP. The JLCooper MCS3-SP

Media Control Station is a remote control device for use with Avid

Symphony running on Meridien hardware or, other computer

based applications specifically written to support the MCS3-SP.

The MCS3-SP may be used for controlling professional video tape

recorders (VTRs), digital disk recorders (DDRs), and other RS-422

devices that support the Sony 9 Pin/P2 protocol.

The MCS3-SP features a professional jog shuttle mechanism, high

duribility transport buttons and function keys. As shipped from the

factory, the MCS3-SP is normally configured and “ready to use” as

a controller for computer based applications such as Avid

Symphony. When the MCS3-SP is intended to be used as a VTR

or DDR controller, it can easily be reconfigured in the field.

Instructions for doing this are provided later in this manual.

This manual primarily relates to the features and operation of the

MCS3-SP as a 9 Pin/P2 controller. If the MCS3-SP is used as a

control device for a computer based application, follow the

instructions included with your software.

Please take a moment to register your MCS3-SP so we can notify

you in the future about any updates as they become available. You

can register your MCS3-SP at the following web site:

Installation

Configuring the MCS3-SP

The MCS3-SP can operate in either of two modes, as a computer

controller, meant to be attached to a computer based application

such as Avid Symphony, or as a stand-alone deck controller for

machines that respond to the Sony protocol for 9 pin decks.

As shipped from the factory, the MCS3-SP is configured to

connect to a host computer to control a software based application.

The MCS3-SP is easily reconfigured as a deck controller. To do

so, a 5/64" Allen wrench (supplied) and a small flatblade

screwdriver are the only tools necessary.

1. Remove the four screws from the top panel.

2. Carefully slide the cable strain relief from its slot on the

unit bottom chassis.

3. On the small circuit board, remove the 8-pin IC which is

inserted into U3 “To Host” and move it to the “To Mach”

socket. Make sure the orientation of the IC is preserved.

4. Take the shorting jumper that is stored on one pin of JB1

and place it so it shorts both pins of JB1.

5. Carefully re-insert the strain relief, dress the inside section

of cable away from the sensitive Jog Wheel assembly, and

re-insert the four screws.

Connecting the MCS3-SP to a Deck

Connect the supplied external power supply to the power jack on

the MCS3-SP captive cable. In case a replacement supply ever is

used, the power supply should be rated at 9 to 12 volts DC, 500

mA, with a center positive 2.1 mm plug. The JLCooper part

number is 651026.

Next, connect MCS3-SP 9 Pin cable to the 9 Pin remote input of

the machine that you are controlling. In some cases, you may need

use the supplied gender changer to connect the MCS3-SP to

existing wiring.

Connecting the MCS3-SP to a Computer

Connect the supplied external power supply to the power jack on

the MCS3-SP captive cable. In case a replacement supply ever is

used, the power supply should be rated at 9 to 12 volts DC, 500

mA, with a center positive 2.1 mm plug. The JLCooper part

number is 651026.

Next, connect MCS3-SP 9 Pin cable to the 9 Pin remote input of

the computer system that you are controlling. In some cases, the

computer may have an RS-422 card installed (this is NOT the

standard serial or com port found on most computers) or you may

need to use an external RS-232 to RS-422 converter (such as the

Rosetta Stone Interface Adapter from Addenda). You may need to

use the supplied gender changer.

Transport Functions

The transport buttons control Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, Play,

and Record. Pressing the button marked W7 causes the MCS3-SP

to send a pause command. The Record button is interlocked with

the Play button. To send a Record Strobe to the deck, hold down

play and press record. Record only operates if tracks have been

enabled (“armed”) first. (See Track Enabling below.)

To send the Record Strobe message:

1. Arm tracks or press Assemble.

2. Press and release Play.

3. Allow the machine to come up to speed or ‘servo lock’.

4. Press and hold Play.

5. Press Record.

6. Release Play and Record.

Note: While in Record mode, pressing the Play button will cause the

MCS3-SP to send a Record Exit command.

Jog and Shuttle Functions

The MCS3-SP has a professional jog/shuttle mechanism that

incorporates the Jog and Shuttle into a single knob. To change

between Jog and Shuttle operation, press the wheel. When in its

upper position, it behaves as a shuttle control. As a shuttle control,

the knob has center detent and rotation stops. Pressing on the

wheel changes it into a Jog control, with no rotation stops or

detent.

Jog Mode

In Jog mode, the playback speed and direction is proportional to

the speed and direction that the wheel is rotated. Rotate the wheel

clockwise for forward playback. Rotate the wheel counter

clockwise for reverse playback. In Jog mode, continuously rotating

the wheel results in 1X play speed, either forward or backward. To

stop the tape, simply stop turning the wheel.

Shuttle Mode

In Shuttle mode, playback speed is relative to the rotation of the

wheel from the center detent. Rotate the ring clockwise for forward

shuttle. Rotate the ring counter clockwise for reverse shuttle. The

deck will continue to shuttle until the ring is returned to its center

position or the deck reaches the end of tape. Alternately, you can

simply press Stop.

Shuttle LEDs

The two arrow LEDs above the Jog/Shuttle knob will indicate the

status of the Jog/Shuttle knob. This is detailed in the table below:

Shuttle Forward ►

Shuttle Reverse ◄

Shuttle Pause ◄►

Jog ◄►

Table 1

Note: After power up, the shuttle ring LEDs will not light until the

shuttle ring is centered, this is normal.

V-Stick Functions

The “V-Stick” is located to the upper right of the jog/shuttle

control. It is a soft, four position switch. The switch is activated by

applying pressure either left, right, toward you, or away from you.

It is not necessary to press down or rotate the control.

It performs the following functions:

V Stick Down = Reverse 2x V Stick Left = Reverse 1x

V Stick Up = Forward 2x V Stick Right = Forward 1x

Locate Functions

The MCS3-SP can capture and store timecode locations for later

recall. It can do this either on the fly (program is playing) or while

stationary (program is stopped). Locates are captured and stored

by holding the Record button and pressing W1 thru W6. A

timecode request will be sent, and the responding timecode will be

stored within the MCS3-SP. Because the MCS3-SP does not have

nonvolitile ot battery backed memory, the locate points will be

stored until power is removed from the MCS3-SP. The MCS3-SP

can store up to six locate points:

W1 = Locate 1 W3 = Locate 3 W5 = Locate 5

W2 = Locate 2 W4 = Locate 4 W6 = Locate 6

Stored Locate Points are recalled by pressing the W1-W6 buttons.

After power up, all locate points are initialized to 00:00:00:00.

Pressing a locate button without first storing a locate point will

cause the deck to go to 00:00:00:00. The W7 button sends a pause

command.

Note: Locate Points are not retained when the MCS3-SP is turned off

Track Arming

The MCS3-SP sends the appropriate commands for track arming

analog and digital machines. When the unit is powered on, it

defaults to track arming the audio tracks. The MCS3-SP can also

arm Insert Video, Assemble and Timecode as well.

The buttons marked F5 & F6 change the function of the F1-F4

buttons. After power up or pressing F5, buttons F1, F2, F3 and F4

are used to arm audio tracks 1 - 4. Pressing F6 configures buttons

F1, F2, F3 and F4 to arm the video and timecode tracks or select

assemble recording.

To change modes:

Press F5 = Audio 1 – 4 arming

Press F6 = Video, Assemble and Timecode

After powerup OR pressing F5: After pressing F6:

F1 - Digital Audio 1 + Audio 1 F1 - Video

F2 - Digital Audio 2 + Audio 2 F2 - Assemble

F3 - Digital Audio 3 F3 - no function

F4 - Digital Audio 4 F4 - Timecode

The MCS3-SP does not query the deck for machine status. Due to

this, the MCS3-SP has no knowledge of any track enabling done

on the front panel of the VTR machine itself. Nor does it know the

status of the machine when the MCS3-SP is first powered on. The

MCS3-SP powers up operating under the assumption that all tracks

are unselected.

Using the MCS3-SP with a host

In some applications, the MCS3-SP may be used with a computer

based application. In this case, please consult the user

documentation for details about connecting and using the MCS3-

SP with your application.
