Introduction
Features
The Extron RCP 1000 remote control panel provides complete
remote control of the input, effect, and transition controls
available on an SGS 408 seamless switcher. Bi-directional
communication with the SGS 408 allows a switch to occur from
either device while the other device is updated to reflect the
switch.
• Brightness and contrast controls — Adjust the brightness and
contrast of an input.
• Centering and sizing — Allow the output to be centered or
sized, both horizontally and vertically.
• Horizontal and vertical filtering — Provide up to eight levels
of horizontal and five levels of vertical filter control.
These operator-selectable filtering controls ensure that no
picture detail is dropped.
• Remote operation — Can be operated up to 1000 feet
(304.8 meters) away.
• Power — Receives power from the SGS 408.
• Program and preview inputs — Allow you to select the
upcoming switch.
• Transitions — Control the type of switch that will occur
between the preview and program outputs. The Cut
button creates an instant switch between the preview and
program outputs. The effect buttons allow the switcher
operator to choose from among four predefined effects.
The RCP 1000 effect presets are the same as the SGS 408
front panel effect presets.

• 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 (fuzzy) edges. The preview image can
have the following transitions (figure 3-4):
• In from the left and right edges of the screen to the
center of the screen
• Out from the center of the screen to the left and right
edges of the screen
• In from the top and bottom edges of the screen to
the center of the screen
• Out from the center of the screen to the top and
bottom edges of the screen
Figure 3-4 — Curtain wipe effects
Figure 3-6 — Square wipe effects
• A title can have two effects: window or key.
A title window causes a predefined box in the program
image to dissolve to reveal the preview image (figure
3-7). The effect is as if the preview image were located
behind the program image, and a window in the
program image opens to show the preview image.
Figure 3-7 — A title effect
A title key causes any portion of the preview image which
is over half intensity (.35V) to be displayed with the
program image.
When the either title effect ends, the preview image
disappears, and the program image is again intact.
The title box can be sized and centered anywhere on the
screen. See chapter 3 of the SGS 408 User’s Manual for
more information.
• A plus wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll over
the program image in one of two transitions (figure 3-5):
• Starting in all four corner of the screen and moving
in to the center of the screen
• Starting at the center of the screen and moving out to
the corners of the screen
Figure 3-5 — Plus wipe effects
• A square wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll
over the program image in one of two transitions
(figure 3-6):
• Starting at all four edges of the screen and moving in
to the center of the screen
• Starting at the center of the screen and moving out to
the edges of the screen
