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.
Logos — The RCP can enable logos that have been created and
assigned on the ISS 506 to be displayed on the output screen.
Auto Image — Auto Image automatically sizes and centers the
selected preview input to ll the screen.
Gooseneck lamp — The provided Littlite® exible gooseneck
lamp can be connected to the XLR lamp socket on the RCP top panel for low-intensity illumination of the control panel in low-light environments.

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.”

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.

RJ-45 Ethernet Patch Cable

Ethernet link

The RCP 2000 can also communicate with the ISS 506 via an Ethernet link, using the RJ-45 connectors on the RCP and the ISS. The RJ-45 connector is illustrated at right. The RCP 2000 can be connected to the ISS either directly, or indirectly through a LAN.
When connecting the RCP 2000 directly (no intermediate device present, such as a network hub) to the ISS 506, you must use a crossover cable. See the table below for RJ-45 crossover cable connections (T568A and T568B are the wiring standards).
When connecting the RCP 2000 indirectly (through an intermediate device, such as a network hub) to the ISS 506, you must use a patch (straight-through) cable. See the table below for RJ-45 patch cable connections (T568B is the wiring standard).

Transition Sub-effects

A variety of visual effects are available for transitioning between the preview and the program displays in wipe and PIP modes. The sub-effects that are available depend on the display mode in which the RCP is operating. (See “Setting the Display Mode,” earlier in this chapter.) You can also set the duration of the sub-effect.
Standard wipes
A standard wipe sub-effect causes the preview image to appear to unroll over the program image horizontally or vertically. A standard wipe can have either hard (sharp) or soft (blurred) edges.
The following standard wipes are available:
From left to right — Soft Right (#02) or Hard Right (#14)
From right to left — Soft Left (#03) or Hard Left (#15)
From top to bottom — Soft Up (#04) or Hard Up (#16)
From bottom to top — Soft Down (#05) or Hard Down
(#17)

Sub-effects available in wipe and PIP modes

The sub-effects described in the following sections can be selected for the transition between the displayed preview and program inputs in wipe and PIP modes. These sub-effects are listed on the label shown on the next page, which is located to the right of the H and V Adjust knobs on the RCP top panel.
Curtain wipes
A curtain wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll over the program image in two directions simultaneously. A curtain wipe can have either hard (sharp) or soft (blurred) edges.
The following curtain wipes are available:

The RCP 2000 Web pages allow you to control the RCP via Ethernet. They also enable the RCP to control a networked ISS 506 switcher.

Establishing a Connection

The resident Web pages are an alternative means of communication with, and control through, the RCP unit. The Web pages are accessed via a Web browser, such as Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher).
The computer that is used to access the Web server must have a connection in common with the RCP unit. For example, if the unit is connected to your local intranet, the computer that is used to access the unit must also be connected to your local intranet. Similarly, if the unit is connected only to the Internet, the computer that is used to access the unit must have an Internet connection.
If you have established passwords for the unit, you are shown a Password window when your browser accesses the RCP unit. Your level of control over the unit depends on the password you enter on this password screen. If you enter the administrator password, you are permitted to congure or change all settings. If you enter a user password, you are permitted only to control A/V devices and to view status.

Logging On and Viewing System Status

The RCP 2000 Web page has three tabs that you can select to display different screens. When you rst log on and access the RCP Web site, the Status tab is selected. The Status tab contains the System Status screen, which provides information on your RCP’s current settings. Changes to these settings can be made via the Conguration tab or the RCP 2000 front panel.
1. Double-click the Web browser icon on your Windows
desktop to launch your Web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the unit (see “Setting Up IP
Communication,” in chapter 2, “Installation”) in the address eld at the top of the screen, and press the Enter key. The Password window opens if a password has been set. (This does not happen the rst time you access the interface, because no password is set at the factory).
3. Enter the appropriate password (if required). The System
Status page opens, showing the current RCP IP address, the switcher IP address, and other settings of the unit.

4. When nished viewing, click Log Off in the upper-right
corner of the screen to exit the system.
Using the Configuration Screens
When the Conguration tab is selected, two Conguration Web pages are listed in the sidebar menu at the left of the Conguration tab. The following sections describe the changes you can make from these screens.

System Settings screen

The System Settings screen lets you review the conguration of the RCP unit, change the IP settings and adjust the date and time. It also enables you to access the Web pages for the ISS 506 switcher. (See the illustration on the next page.)
