MCS-3800 MEDIA COMMAND STATION

JL Cooper

You can now record, edit, and mix your projects using a real, automated moving fader tactile control surface from JLCooper Electronics, the company that pioneered control surface technology.

Features include touch-sensitive motorized faders, an array of 60 programmable function keys, back lit LCD and LED dual displays, 5 rotary encoders, tactile transport controls, a full size numeric keypad, and a balanced concentric jog wheel with shuttle ring.

MCS-3800^TM, MCS-3400^TM and MCS-3000^TM expand to offer up to 64 moving faders with over 300 function keys and more. Beautifully sculpted with an optional simulated stone trim and wrist rest, the MCS-3800 is a solid professionally crafted controller.

With 100 locate points and built in SMPTE/EBU and MTC readers, Command Stations provide a coherent universal control of your busy production environment.

MIDI input and output are standard. Two expansion slots let you add optional interface cards for even more control capability. Interface cards include RS-422 (P2 for VTR Control), RS-485, RS-232, GPI, USB and others.

As a third generation moving fader controller, the MCS-3000 Series truly advances the state of tactile virtual control for non—linear editing systems, hard disk recorders and digital mixers. With a variety of expansion options, its uses are limited only by your imagination!
