About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron RCP 2000
Remote Control Panel with ISS 506 Support, and describes how
to connect and operate it.

About the RCP 2000 with ISS 506 Support

The Extron RCP 2000 remote control panel with ISS 506 support
provides complete remote control of the ISS 506 seamless
switcher. The RCP controls the input selection, transition effect
(cut, dissolve, wipe, PIP [picture-in-picture], or title), transition
duration (automatic or T-bar manual control), and picture
controls (color, tint, contrast, brightness, sizing, and centering)
that are available on the ISS 506 switcher.

The RCP 2000 offers bi-directional Ethernet and RS-232
communication with the ISS 506. It allows full control from
either the RCP or the seamless switcher.

Features

Comprehensive picture controls — Enable you to adjust the

following:

• Contrast/Brightness — Adjusts the light intensity and

the range of dark and light values of the output.

• Centering and sizing — Allow the output to be

centered on the screen or sized, both horizontally and
vertically, including a PIP window and image.

• Detail — Adjusts the level of picture sharpness.

• Color/Tint — Adjusts the intensity and appearance of

the picture colors.

Remote operation — Allows an ISS 506 to be operated remotely

via Ethernet (Internet or intranet) or RS-232.

Program and preview inputs — Allow you to select inputs for

the upcoming switch.

Transition controls (Cut, Dissolve, Wipe, PIP, and Title) —

Control the type of switch that occurs between the preview
and program outputs. See “Selecting the Display Mode” and
“Transition Effects” in chapter 3, “Operation,” for descriptions
of the transitions controlled by these buttons.

Freeze and Black buttons — Allow you to freeze or blank

(display a black screen for) any input on either the program or
the preview.

User preset recall — User presets save color, tint, contrast,

brightness, detail, sizing, and centering settings on the
ISS 506. Up to three presets can be saved on each input. You
can recall a preset that was saved to an input button on the
ISS by pressing the equivalent Preview input button on the
RCP.

Installation Overview

Follow these steps to set up and install the RCP 2000 with
ISS 506 support:

Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the ISS 506

and all attached devices are turned off and, if applicable,
disconnected from the power source.

Set the RCP 2000 on a table, podium, or other at surface.

Connect the RS-232 cable provided with the RCP 2000 to

the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the ISS and to the To
Switcher port on the rear panel of the RCP 2000; or attach
a network cable to the ISS and RCP 2000 Ethernet ports.

Attach power cords to the ISS 506 switcher, the input

devices, and the output devices, and plug them into
grounded AC power sources.

Attach the power cord to the RCP 2000 and plug it into a

grounded AC power source.

Check the default cycle screens in the LCD window. If a

screen with the words “ISS 506 Linked” does not appear in
the rotation, do the following:

• Ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving
power.

• Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed.

• Check the communication settings of the RCP and ISS.

If using a network connection, set up communication

with the ISS 506 switcher via IP. See “Setting Up IP
Communications,” in chapter 3, “Operation.”

AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord from a

a

100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power source into this connector.

To Switcher port — This 9-pin female D connector provides for

b

two-way RS-232 serial communications with the ISS switcher. If
using a serial connection, connect an RS-232 cable from this port
to the switcher’s RS-232 port.

RS-232 port — This 9-pin female D connector provides for two-

c

way RS-232 serial communication with the computer to control
the RCP 2000.

RJ-45 connector — If using an Ethernet connection, connect the

d

RCP 2000 to an ISS 506, directly with a crossover cable or over a
LAN with a patch, using this female RJ-45 connector.

Reset button — Use an Extron Tweeker or other small

e

screwdriver to press this recessed button to reset the RCP 2000
unit. See “Resetting the Unit” in chapter 3, “Operation,” for
additional information.

Making an RCP Communication Cable

Communication between the RCP 2000 and the ISS 506 is via
RS-232 or Ethernet. You are provided with a 12' RS-232 cable. If
you need a communication cable of a different length, use the
following guidelines to make your own cable.

RS-232 link

Both ends of the RS-232 cable must be terminated with a
9-pin male D connector. See the table below for RS-232 pin
assignments.
