The MCR-HS sets a new standard as a wireless camera transmitter delivering quality video in a compact rugged unit.

MCR-HS is designed for a camera person to transmit live video to a fixed, mobile, or airborne receive site. The MCR is compatible with the RXL-HS and QuikVUEHS hand held receiver.

MCR-HS features integrated MPEG II encoding (4:2:0) with COFDM modulation, a field proven technology allowing you to get your signal out in difficult areas, while eliminating undesirable multi-pathing.

The MCR-HS is available in three basic DC powering configurations, stand-alone and with two different battery mounting style attachments.

The battery mount attachments available are the Anton-Bauer Gold mount and the V-Mount, typically used with batteries such as IDX models. Antennas can be cable connected or direct mounted. For direct mount, MRC's Colinear Antenna is offered in 2 or 4.5 dBi models.
