It provides centralized control over sync speeds, shutter angles, and display settings. Core Technical Specifications The unit serves as the primary interface for electronic camera adjustments and diagnostic information. Speed Control: Allows for precise frame rate adjustments, typically ranging from 1 to 50 fps (or 40 fps depending on the specific camera model used). Shutter Adjustment: Controls the motorized mirror shutter, which is adjustable from 180° to 45° (and down to 11.2° on some configurations) while the camera is running. Synchronizer Functions: Built-in crystal control for sync-sound shooting and phase shifting for filming monitors (TV/PC screens) to eliminate flicker. Display: Features a high-contrast digital display showing: Current frame rate (fps) Shutter angle Footage/Meter count Battery voltage/status Connectivity: Connects to the camera body via a dedicated multi-pin Lemo cable, which also provides power to the unit from the camera’s main battery. Operational Features Phase Shift: A dedicated button to manually shift the phase of the shutter to sync with external light sources or monitors. Remote Start/Stop: Integrated trigger to initiate or end camera filming remotely. Memory: Often supports a "Store" function to save specific speed/shutter combinations for quick recall during complex shots. Compatibility The MCIN-604 is standard for the Moviecam Compact series. Following ARRI's acquisition of Moviecam technology, much of the logic in this remote was integrated into the ARRI Remote Control Unit (RCU-1), though the MCIN-604 remains specific to original Moviecam electrical systems ⭐️ALSO AVAIL FROM OSC RENTAL DEPT! ⭐️
