Introduction

Features

The Extron ECP 1000 event control panel attaches to as many as
three Extron SGS 408 seamless switchers to provide complete
control of multiple screens in large staging applications. The
ECP 1000 allows you to create simultaneous or synchronous
wipes, dissolves, fades, and cuts on any combination of the
attached screens.

The ECP 1000 includes pre-programmed effects that are
available at the touch of a single button. In addition, the
SGS 408 Control Program for Windows allows you to select
effects for each screen so you can create your own preset series
of effects.

Pre-programmed effects — The effect buttons initiate multi-

screen effects. There are 40 user-programmable presets,
30 of which are pre-programmed at the factory. The
SGS 408 Control Program for Windows allows you to
overwrite all preset button settings.

Show sequencing — Using the SGS 408 Control Program for

Windows, you can create a series of effects that are
initiated sequentially at the touch of a single effect
selection button.

Button label software — Some buttons are labeled with a

pictorial example of their associated effects. You can
create labels for unlabeled buttons, or you can replace
existing labels to match any changes you have made to
button assignments.

Effect selection buttons — These buttons allow you to create

wipes, dissolves, and title effects.

Screen selection buttons — These buttons allow you to choose

the screen or screens on which an effect will appear.

Duration adjustment — This control allows you to specify the

length of time in which each effect occurs.

T-bar controller — This control allows you to manually control

the speed of a transition.

For each SGS 408 to which the ECP 1000 will be connected,

3

attach an ECP comm cable (provided with the SGS 408)
between an SGS connector on the ECP 1000 and the RS-232
connector on the SGS 408. Figure 2-2 shows a typical
application.

If desired, attach a host computer or other control device
