Introduction

The MCS-3000 series of control stations are the most advanced
control products ever from JLCooper Electronics. This family of
products includes the 8 fader MCS-3800 Controller, the 4 fader
MCS-3400 Controller, the MCS-3000X 8 fader Expander, and
the Surround Panner Module.
MCS-3800 and MCS-3400 Media Command Stations are moving
fader control surfaces, expandable to sixty-four faders.
Capable of controlling digital workstations for music and video
production and post production, the MCS-3000 series is fully
assignable and simple to operate.
MIDI I/O is standard. In addition, the MCS-3400 and MCS-3800
feature two expansion slots for optional cards which support
other hardware interfaces and protocols. These include RS-232,
RS-422, RS-485, P2 (9 Pin), ADB, and GPI.
This manual deals primarily with the MCS-3400 and MCS-3800
Controllers, and the MCS-3000X Expander, with standard MIDI
I/O. The Surround Panner, and Option Cards are discussed in
their own manuals.
