Its useful and user-friendly design allows you to connect a maximum of 4 SONY camcorders through the Ethernet cables and an adapter box. Major functions of several SONY camcorders can be easily operated and controlled using the MCU-200S at up to 300m away from the controller unit.
The adapter box acts as an interface between the MCU-200S and SONY cameras or camcorders. One side of the box connects to the MCU-200S via an Ethernet cable and the other side connects to SONY cameras or camcorders via a SONY CAM/BS cable. Users are allowed to use an Ethernet cable that runs 300 meters to connect the MCU-200S to this adapter box which in turn connects a SONY camera.
