2−101 VM 3000 Installation and Operating Manual
Note 1: While the user can select any one of the configurations, the particular transport functions within each con-
figuration, and the order in which they appear on the MI−3040 back panel, cannot be changed by the user.
An example of the connections for a unit configured as an MI 3040/2 is shown on page 2−103.
The MI 3040 can be used for parallel control of systems such as Sony Betacart and LMS. The unit can also be used with older
model VTRs and audio cart machines—see the Interface Selection Guide on page 2−89.
Note 2: Due to its current limit (300 mA) , the MI 3040 is not suitable for use in controlling older model projectors
and optical multiplexers used in film chains.
Note 3: If the MI 3040 is used to interface to a Betacart, the Sony−supplied IF−10 interface will still be required.
The configuration of the MI 3040 is determined by entries to the MPK Devices table (page 5−117) and the Machine Control
table (page 5−157).
