The MPT9000 Series offers a versatile transmitter/controller that can be used in a variety of applications for controlling pan/tilts and cameras. The desktop or rack mount units have an eight-position joystick for operating pan/tilts, and switches for control of camera zoom, focus, and iris functions. There also are switches for auxiliary functions to control such things as lights or doors. The transmitter/controller is compatible with random interlace and 2:1 interlace cameras.

The MPT9000 Series is capable of auto/random scan operation when used with an appropriate receiver, such as the IRD2024 or ERD2200.

The MPT9000 Series uses Pelco’s Coaxitron system to send control signals to pan/tilt receivers. Coaxitron allows control signals to be sent over the video coaxial cable, eliminating the need for separate control wiring between a transmitter and receiver. The control pulses are superimposed upon the video signal during vertical blanking interval where they are not noticeable on the monitor. The MPT9000 Series can be used in short or medium distance applications when equalization of cable losses is not required. For longer distances an equalization amplifier (EA2000) can be used.
