Chapter 1 Introduction
This manual provides installati on and o per at ing instr uct ions for the
OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel (also referre d to herein as t he
Control Panel).
The manual consists of th e following chapters:
• Chapter 1, “Introduction” – Provid es informa tion about this manual
and what is covered. Als o pr ovi des general information re gar di ng the
OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel.
• Chapter 2, “Installation and Setup” – Provides instructions for
installing the OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel, and connecting the
OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel to the system in which it is
intended to operate.
• Chapter 3, “Operating Instructions” – Provides instructions fo r
using the OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel to monitor and control
parameter v alues for cards.
• Appendix A, “Supplemental Information” – Provides
supplemental information for configuring the Control Panel.
The OGCP-9000 Remote Control Panel conve nient ly and int uiti vely pr ovides
parameter monitor and control of video and audio processing terminal

equipment meeting the open-architecture openGear
COMPASS
®
and FUSION3G® cards. It in stalls in a standard 19” EIA
®
standard for Cobalt®
equipment rack, and is 2 RU high. All communication with the frame occurs
over an Ethernet netwo rk, allowin g fast interaction with m ultiple frames.
In addition to circumventing the need for a computer to monitor and control
signal processing cards, the OGCP-9000 allows quick and intuitive access to
hundreds of cards in a faci lity, and can monitor an d allows adj ustment of u p to
eight parameters at one time. Two large format wide-angle LCDs show sharp
and clear text for the currently visible parameters. Eight dials corresponding
to each of the eight displayed parameters allow ease in accessing and
controlling the displayed parameters.

• Using the Control Panel To Select and Monitor Frame Cards, p. 3-3
• Troubleshooting, p. 3-13
Control and Display Descriptions
Chapter 3
In its normal operating use, the Control Panel allows the user to
simultaneously display up to eight parameter settings of a selected
COMPASS
®
and/or FUSION3G® card and, in turn, remotely adjust the
parameter value or selection using the control knob adjacent to the displayed
parameter with no ke ypad intervention bei ng re qui red. Figure 3-1 provides an
example and describes this funct ion .
Just like a potentiometer on a console, rotating the control knob adjacent to
its display area (in this example, “Co lor G a in” and its corresponding knob)
changes the value of the displayed numeric parameter.
In this example, rotating the knob clockwise increases the Color Gain value
in tenth-unit steps. Rotating the knob counter-clockwise similarly re duces
the value of the corresponding parameter.
Where the display shows a selection choice, the k nob acts as a rotary
selector switch.
In this example, rotating the knob selects between On and Off for
Gang Video and Color Gain.
Note: • Values displayed at any time is the actual v alue as s et on t he card.
• Units characters ( such as “dB” or “deg”) are displayed per ordered
configuration preference and may not appear on some control
panel displays.

is received by the device, with the current value displayed being the actual value as effected by the
device.

Operating Instructions Network Setup
Note: • Although the keypad and Enter key can always be used to enter a selection,
where the Control Panel displays a list of selection options it is more convenient to simply rotate a knob to select the option, and then press the knob in
to enter the selection.
• For numeric parameters (such as level settings), the knob ballistics are such
that rapid rotation of the knob yields coarse wide-span adjustment of the
parameter. Slower or incremental rotation of the knob yields correspondingly
finer adjustment, eventually providing step adjustment corresponding to the
decimal precision of the displayed value.
• The keypad keys are backlighted in modes where the key can be used. If a
key is not applicable to a particular mode or configuration of the Control
Panel, the key is not backlit.
Network Setup
Typically, your Control Panel is delivered with all network settings and card
assignments configured per your instructions for your frames and cards that
are to be controlled by the Control Pane l. This is facili tated by the “Setting Up
