PRODUCTS CONFORMING TO RoHS DIRECTIVE
Following products described in this manual are products conforming to RoHS directive.
•MCP-300 Master Control Panel
Products conforming to RoHS directive include products that do not contain specified hazardous
substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB)
and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in electrical and electronic equipment excluding following
exemption applications based on the EU directive.
The RoHS directive stands for “the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in

up to 0.4% lead by weight and as a copper alloy containing up to 4% lead by weight
7. Lead in following items
· Lead in high melting temperature type solders (i.e. tin-lead solder alloys containing more
than 85% lead)
· Lead in solders for servers, storage and storage array systems
· Lead in solders for network infrastructure equipment for switching, signaling, transmission
as well as network management for telecommunication
· Lead in electronic ceramic parts (e.g. piezoelectronic devices)

ii MAINTENANCE OF PRODUCTS CONFORMING TO RoHS DIRECTIVE
MAINTENANCE OF PRODUCTS CONFORMINGTO RoHS
DIRECTIVE
Work with care about followings for maintenance of products conforming to RoHS directive.
· For products conforming to RoHS directive, the letter “E” is appended at the end of the serial
number on the label. For models that the letter cannot be appended to the serial number, the letter
“E” will be described in a distinguishable position on the label. A description example on a main
label is shown below.
· Print-circuit board of the products conforming to RoHS directive is manufactured by following
methods.
[1] Blue resist ink is used for the print-circuit board. (The color of conventional print-circuit board is
green.)
[2] Either one of the following marks is indicated by a serigraph or label.
㻌
㻌
Since the melting point of lead-free solder used for the products conforming to RoHS directive is 20
to 45 degrees Celsius higher than that of conventional solder with lead (Sn-Pb eutectic solder), a
high temperature needs to be set to a soldering iron. Taking allowable temperature limit of the
parts and stable work into consideration, use a soldering iron with excellent thermal recovery
characteristics.
· Recommended solder composition is “Sn/3.0Ag/0.5Cu” or equivalent.
· Separate the soldering iron exclusively for RoHS products and the soldering iron for
conventional use.
· Set the temperature of the soldering bit to 350 to 370 degrees Celsius.
The temperature may need to be adjusted according to the size of the copper foil land on the
print-circuit board and the tip width of the soldering bit.
· Finish by a lead-free solder looks dull or whitish compared to conventional solder with lead.
Be sure to use parts conforming to RoHS directi

1. Overview
1.1. Description
The MCP-300 is a control panel typically shared between multiple cameras. There are
three methods for system connection: connected to a CSU using ICCP, connected to a CP
hub using ARCNET, or connected to a commercially available network switch using an
Ethernet LAN cable.
1.2. Features
࣭ Network compatible
Besides control via conventional serial command, control via ARCNET network
connection and Ethernet connection are also possible.
A wide range of operational configurations including panel assignment are supported by
establishing a network.
A switch is used to set the communication mode.
࣭ PoE+ compatible
Since PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) is supported on the Ethernet connection, power can
be supplied through a LAN cable (CAT5e or higher).
࣭ 7-inch color LCD with touch panel
In addition to control equivalent to a conventional MCP (Maintenance Control Panel),
more advanced settings are possible with the MCP-300 as a master control panel by
operating the LCD screen.
Also, the control panel is easy to use since you can optimize the menu items of the LCD
screen.
࣭ External power compatible
Powering via the DC IN connector is available when the cable distance is long.
࣭ User customization function
The user can assign selected functions to four function switches. Also the user can custom
assign the configuration to some of the LCD screens.
࣭ Information monitor function (option)
This option displays the diagnostic information of the cameras that are connected in network
operation on an external monitor.
The video output is an HD SDI signal in either 1080i or 720p (60Hz/50HZ).
You can select external synchronization input (REF IN) or video input (HD SDI IN) at the
time of order. If there is no input, the output is self-synchronized.
(1) REF IN
Supports TRI-SYNC and BBS, and phase adjustment is possible.
(2) HD-SDI IN
Displays an overlay of characters on the input video. The phase is output in the same
phase as the input signal. Phase adjustment is also possible.
Note:Connect an external power source when the optional information monitor
function is equipped.

1. Overview
2
Reference: Please refer to "2.7. Connector Panel" for the position of SDI OUT connector.
࣭ Optical Level
The optical level between the BS/CCU and the camera head can be checked on the LCD
screen or information monitor (option).
࣭ Video format switching
Changes the video format of the connected camera systems.
Memo:Switches and functions of the MCP do not work if the connected camera
system does not have the function.
Reference: Please refer to the instruction manual of the camera for the operational
functions.
Note:Do not connect the MCP-300 directly to the command connector of a camera
or BS/CCU because the power consumption is high.
