Introduction
The JLCooper Media Control Station3is a remote control for
VTRs and other machines that support Sony 9 Pin "P2"
protocol.
The MCS3 controls professional analogue and digital VTRs,
modular digital multitracks, and disk-based VTR emulators.
The MCS3 can also operate in certain applications as a control
station “input device” for computer-based editing systems.
The MCS3features a smooth, weighted and optically encoded
jog shuttle wheel with concentric shuttle ring, and transport
and function keys.
As shipped from the factory, the MCS3 is normally configured
and “ready to use” as a VTR controller.
When the MCS3 is intended to be used as an input device for a
computer editing system, it will need to be reconfigured
internally. Instructions for doing this are provided at the end of
this manual.
This manual relates to the features and operation of the MCS3
as a 9 Pin/2 controller. If the MCS3 is used as an input device to
a computer-based system, follow the instructions included with
the system.
Please take a moment to send in your product registration card,
so we can notify you in the future about any new products or
updates as they become available.

Connecting the MCS3
Connect the supplied external power supply to the power jack
on the MCS3's captive cable.
In case a replacement supply is used, see to it that it has the
same rating as the original supply: The power supply's output
is rated at 9 volts DC, 500 mA, with a center positive 2.1 mm
plug.
Connect MCS39 Pin cable to the 9 Pin remote input of the
machine that you are controlling.

Features and Operation
Transport Functions
The Transports control Rewind, Fast Forward, Stop, Play, and
Record. Pause is enabled by pressing the button marked W7.
The Record button is interlocked with the Play button.
To enable Record, you must hold down one and push the
other.
Record only operates if tracks have been enabled (“armed”)
first. (See Track Enabling below.)
To Record, first arm tracks. Then press and release Play, and
allow the machine to come up to speed.
Then press Play again and hold it down.
While holding down Play, press Record.
Then release both switches.
While in Record mode, the pressing of the Play button send a
Record Exit command, dropping the controlled unit out the
record state.
V-Stick Functions
The “V/Stick” is located to the upper right of the jog/shuttle
control. It is a soft, four position switch.
The switch is activated by applying pressure either left, right,
toward you, or away from you. (It is not necessary to press
down or rotate the control.) It performs the following
functions
:
• V-Stick Down = Reverse 2x Speed
• V-Stick Up = Forward 2x Speed
• V-Stick Left = Reverse 1x Speed
• V-Stick Right = Forward 1x Speed
7
Jog Mode
The center wheel is for Jog mode. In Jog mode, playback
speed and direction is proportional to the speed and direction
that the wheel is rotated.
Rotate the wheel clockwise for forward playback.
Rotate the wheel counter clockwise for reverse playback.
In Jog mode, continuously rotating the wheel results in 1X play
speed, either forward or backward.
To stop the tape, simply stop turning the wheel.
Shuttle Mode
The outer ring is for Shuttle mode. In Shuttle mode, playback
speed is related to the extent of rotation away from the starting
position of the wheel.
Rotate the ring clockwise for forward shuttle.
Rotate the ring counter clockwise for reverse shuttle.
The program continues to shuttle until the ring is returned to
its center position. Alternately, simply press Stop.
Shuttle LEDs
Normally, on power up, the shuttle ring LEDs will not light
until the shuttle ring is centered.
After that, the shuttle ring LEDs will light depending upon the
direction of rotation from center. Both LEDs are on when the
ring is centered.

Locate Functions
The MCS3may be “taught” locations either on the fly (program
is playing) or while stationary (program is stopped.)
Locates are stored by pressing and holding the Record button,
and while holding the Record button, press W1 thru W6.
A location request will be sent, and the response stored within
the MCS3. This will be remembered until power is removed
from the MCS3.
The MCS3stores six locate points:
• W1 Locate 1
• W2 Locate 2
• W3 Locate 3
• W4 Locate 4
• W5 Locate 5
• W6 Locate 6

Track Arming Analog or Digital Machines
The MCS3 can send the appropriate commands for track
arming analog or digital machines.
The unit normally is configured for digital track arming.
To change modes, press and hold down buttons F5 and F6 at
the same time.
While holding down F5 and F6, press F2 to change to analog
mode.
While holding down F5 and F6, press F1 to return to digital
mode.
Track Number Shifting
Function Keys F1 - F4 can be used to arm tracks 1 - 4, and
Function Keys F1 - F4 can be used to arm tracks 5 - 8.
Function Keys F5 & F6 act as track number "shift buttons".
For example,
F1 through F4 toggle the track arming state of tracks 1 - 4.
Press and release F6:
F1 through F4 now toggle the track arming state of tracks 5 - 8.
Press and release F5:
F1 through F4 now toggle the track arming state of tracks 1 - 4
again.
Be aware that the MCS3 has no knowledge of any track
enabling done on the front panel of the VTR machine itself.
Nor does it know the status of the machine when the MCS3 is
first powered on. The MCS3 powers-up operating under the
assumption that all tracks are not enabled.
10
Analog Machine Track Mapping
Actual mapping of tracks to audio/video is machine
dependent, and should be confirmed before doing any real
editing.
Typically, the mapping is:
Track 1- Audio Track 1
Track 2- Audio Track 2
Track 3- Time Code
Track 4- not used
Track 5- Video
Track 6- Assemble
Track 7- Insert
Track 8- not used
