Question What is this prop controller?

I've been a Vans enthusiast and VAF forum lurker for quite some time. I'm not in a position to be able to build my own RV right now, but I will someday. In the meantime, I'm living vicariously through all of you.

In my perusing the other day, I landed on the SDS EFI website. Among the pictures is the panel of a Norwegian RV-7. The panel includes what appears to be a prop controller that I've never seen before.

The prop controller is just above the engine monitor and intercom.

For the life of me, I can't figure out exactly what this is or who makes it (can't make out the logo on the upper left corner). I looked around, but couldn't find a build site or any other details.

Does anyone know who makes this and what exactly it is?

Thanks!

Default Thanks

Thanks!

I thought it was an MT. I was on the MT website, but couldn't find a picture of it. I Googled P-120-U, too, but that didn't get me very far, either.

Appreciate the quick responses.
