Product Overview
RMC-230
RJ-45
The main design purpose of the RMC-230 is to replace camera iris and shutter control
on MCU-100S and MCU-200S. It acts as an interface connected between an MCU
unit and the cameras. One end of the RMC-230 is connected to the camera via
AD-1S and another end of the RMC-230 is connected to the MCU units, which are
cost effective remote controllers designed specifically for remote control of SONY
video cameras and camcorders. However, the RMC-230 can also be used as a
standalone device for just controlling the camera iris and shutter as shown in the
diagram below.
That’s Datavideo, sharing the value!
AD-1S
AD-1S: Sony 8Pin
Features
• Two RJ-45 ports allow connections of one end of RMC-230 to AD-1 and
another end of RMC-230 to MCU-100 Unit.
• Two PWR ports with one providing power connection and another one
allowing cascade of multiple RMC-230 units.
• Control of Shutter adjustment.
• Control of Iris adjustment.
• Iris and Shutter level display

Power cascade of multiple RMC-230 Units
Connection to MCU-100/200
1. Use Cat. 5e cable to connect one RJ-45 connector of MCU-100/200 to the RJ-45
connector of the RMC-230
2. Connect the RJ-45 connectors of the RMC-230 and AD-1 via Cat. 5e cable.
3. The DC power adaptor must be connected to the first RMC-230 unit. If the user
has to connect the second or the third unit, the user can use the DC power cable
to cascade the units using another power connector. The user is also allowed to
connect each RMC-230 unit to the DC power independently.
Connection to MCU-100S / 200S
1. Do not need to connect power adaptor to the RMC-230 as the RMC-230 is
powered by Cat. 5e cable.
2. Use Cat. 5e cable to connect the RJ-45 connector of MCU-100S or
MCU-200S to RJ-45 connector of the RMC-230
3. Connect RJ-45 connectors of the RMC-230 and AD-1 via Cat. 5e cable.
