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.
