Chrosziel MN-200 MagNum Dual Channel Wireless Lens Control System

An astounding, new concept for a remote lens control system. Unsurpassed ergonomics give comfort for a long day on the set, totally reliable transmission due to its Dual-Band frequency selector, intuitive, menu-guided operation, unbeatable price / performance ratio and many intelligent details make unique. In cooperation with users this lens control is ergonomically and functional optimized and is available in three versions. It starts with a basic version with one channel: MN-100 MagNum Single Channel, a one-channel version with upgrade possibility: MN-150 MagNum Extendable and the fully equipped two-channel unit: MN-200 MagNum. MagNum and MagNum Extenable are equipped with handwheels with VariLock II (two freely adjustable end stops), VariFluid (adjustable fluid damping) and mechanical lock. They can take both scales and scale rings. Upon delivery they come with a large scale ring. All MagNum version include • The ergonomically optimized hand unit • Symmetrical design, equally ergonomic for left handed operation • The compact size of transmitter and receiver • Lightweight (2-channel receiver 262g and transmitter fully equipped only 577g) • Transmits in the worldwide free frequency band of 2, 4 GHz • Intuitive, menu guided operation by membrane keys and color-OLED display • Four freely assignable hotkeys • Spectrum Analyzer, shows the best transmission channel • Calibration of lenses also doable with the receiver (controller) • Fluid damped hand wheel • Electronic "Hold", captures the actual settings and keeps them • Indicator LED for all functions on the receiver (controller) • Magnifier function for "near" and "remote". (This means, the range around the nearest or the indefinite lens setting is spread especially without losing the opportunity to go to the other end stop.) • Spreading of any lens range to one turn of the hand wheel • Selection between scale ring and scale disk • Record start stop signal for the camera • Motor power adjustable • USB port • Battery level indicator for camera and hand unit • 5 x 1/4"-threads on the hand unit (transmitter) • Includes rechargeable battery, type Sony FM 50, Li-ion (art. no: MN-BAT) • Includes charger for above battery (art. no: MN-CH) The two-channel version offers all benefits: • Dual-Band-System, transmission band can be selected in the range of 430 MHz or 2.4 GHz (5 channels within the MHz-, 11 channels within the GHz-band). All channels are selectable without any interference • Combi-socket for connecting the common TV lens demands, control for focus and zoom. (Then MagNum acts as the communicator between the demands and the cine-style lens) • And for connecting the cable of an analogue zoom control • VariFluid, adjustable fl uid damping in the hand wheel • VariLock II function, two freely adjustable end stops on the hand wheel • Mechanical Lock in the hand wheel • Motor power amplifier, by an internal booster, adjustable up to 30 Volts • Socket for connecting a gooseneck lamp • Serial interface • Two antennas for MHz-band
