Remote Control Panel RSAT21. General
1.GENERAL
The remote control panel RSAT2 is used for copying button functions of the DD35
main operation panels for control of mixer functions from another workplace.
Connected to DD35 main panel via RS-422 cable which can be ordered optionally.
When the learn mode is applied single button functions also the built in Digipots and
the Fader can be trained with functions of the DD35 main panel –
Standard predefined settings for single M/E operation are also availlable.
1.1APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Remote control on source selection, effects register recall, transitions, macros,
Shot-Box, Keyer adjust ...., specifically in conjunction with the use of an additional
sidepanel control PC.

Remote Control Panel RSAT11. General
The programmable memory of the RSAT2 is part of the DD35. Thus the programmed function set for the RSA T2 buttons can be switched from application to application. More complex button sequences can be achieved by programmed recall of
macro buttons of the DD35 main panel.
The standard unit is equipped with 1x reconfigurable 9 Pin D-Sub interface for connection to a host processor. Without further options the factory configuration is a
RS-422/485 port for direct connection to DD35’s panel controller.

3.1SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Caution!
These instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. T o reduce the risk
of electric shock, do not perform any installation other than that contained in
the Operating Instructions unless you are qualified to do so.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Attention!
Electrostatic sensitive devices on the p. c. boards. Observe the following
precaution for handling:
Handling or mounting the RSAT2 unit call for special attention to personal
safety. Personnel should be connected to ground potential via a wristlet (e.g.
3M Wristlet Serial 2200).
Do not touch the p. c. boards during mounting.
Repair the p. c. boards only at static-safe work stations.
Use antistatical protective bags when carrying the p.c. boards.

Fig. 2: Panel cut out
Unpack th e R S AT2 panel and remove the panel module from the mounting box.
The locking mechanism can be removed by the two release tools delivered in
the accessory pack. Therefore the module can be removed very simply.
Disconnect the cables.
Cut-out the openings in the desk.
Put in the mounting box of the panel. For fastening, bores are provided in the
frame. The housing can be fastened with countersunk wood screws with a diameter of 4 mm. The length of the screw depends on the plate thickness of the
desk. A set with mounting parts is included in the delivery of the panel.
Connect the cables into the corresponding plugs of the modules.
Put in the panel module in in the mounting box. By pressing, the modules enga-
ges independently. After mounting the panels please close all locking holes
witch the plastic caps delivered in the accessory pack.

In case the RSAT2 panel shall be used in connection with a PC, the port can be
configurated as RS-232. For this a RS-232 cable is nesseccary.
Demount the panel module.
Change the flat cable from RS-422/485 connector (right) to the RS-232 con-
nector (left).

4.1HOW TO START THE REMOTE PANEL
To start the protocol for the panel use the sidepanel menu. Step into the Install /
Panel / Satpanel menu and select the port number and the type of the protocol.
Fig. 10: DD35 install menu
After that the signal light of the remote panel has to be out. If it so, the panel is alive.
But if you do not have a macro file in your appli_cp.ini file the satellite panel will
be without any function. To add now the filename into the appli_cp.ini use the file
transfer program FTP to get the current appli_cp.ini and insert at the
[SAT_PANEL] under
filename = ”....”
the filename of the macro including the whole path.
E.g. filename = ”/flash/satpanel/me3_crs.sat”.
After the modification of the appli_cp.ini copy the file via FTP back into the mixer.
Now you should see the new function on the satellite panel.
After each new boot the file will be started automatically.

character) display simultaneously.
Press the buttons simulaneously

The message “Learning ...” will disappear then.

Remote Control Panel RSAT24. Operation
4.2.2Learning digipots
Turn simultaneously two digipots, one on the panel, the other one on the control
panel.
Keep in mind that the space between the digipots on the panel is very narrow
so you probably might have turned more than one digipot (“fat fingers” problem)
and the result of the learning is not what you have expected (the last digipots
“wins”).
Die Diaplays der Digipots werden auch umgelegt.
4.2.3Learning faders
Move simultaneously two faders, the one and only on the panel and one of the
5 faders of the control panel.
4.3WHAT CAN BE LEARNED
Interactively all faders and digipots can be learned. As for the buttons, the delegation buttons (the key1, key2 .. buttons in the keyers groups, the second/third buttons in the xbars, the Me1Wipe1,.. DVE2 buttons in the wipe group, the 2nd/rot/
user buttons (also wipe group), the arrow buttons in mask and matte group and all
that kind of buttons can NOT be learned).
All other buttons can be.
Displays and underfloor lamps can only be learned by using a setup file.
Note:
Due to the fact that all the functions of the RSAT2 panel can be learned no button
inlays are supplied. They can be easily be made in a do-i-you-self fashion. Printing
on foil e.g. with a laser printer. Foil thickness max. 200 mm.

4.4LOADING AND SAVING SETUPS
Laden und Speichern erfolgt in Setup–Menü
Speichern: RSAT Save User
Löschen: RSAT Kill User
Ausführen: RSAT Macro User
Currently there is no menu on the SidePanel, so you have to enter some commands from the VxWorks shell.
This implies that you have a terminal connected to the control panel.
Setups are stored in /flash/satpanel (default setups) and in /appdisk/satpanel
Y ou have to be careful because you save only the new macro in the flash or
ramdisk, but you do not change the item in the APPLI-CP.INI file.
If you like to have the macro as the default macro you have to change the file
APPLI-CP.INI.
SatPanelSaveLearned <filename>, <headername>, <displaytext>
Example: SatPanelSaveLearned “mysatpan”, “my header”, “hello world”
<filename>is the base of the filename.
The (internal) resulting filename will be
/appdisk/satpanel/filename.sat
So any extensions to the filename (e.g. “.txt”) and any preceding
path are ignored.
<headername> is a text which appears in the file (as a comment, will later be used
by the SidePanel GUI for the setup choice list).
<displaytext> is the text which has to be written into the big 16-character
The last 2 parameters can be omitted, in that case the header name is an empty
string and the 16-character display is cleared.

Operating Instructions - Rev. 1 / 11.2001
Remote Control Panel RSAT24. Operation
The setup files are special text files, which can be “understood” by the VxWorks
shell interpreter. This means you can alternatively load setups by running them as
shell script (by typing < /flash/appdisk/mstrmemo.sat, for example).
But this is not recommended due to the long time it usually takes for interpreting
the scripts (so you better use the SatPanelLoadLearned command).

4.5 RSAT2 MACROS AND CONTROL PANEL M/E DELEGATION
When using the supplied exemplary makros, consider the following: the makros
have been programmed for the switcher type DD35-4. When using the makros for
the new switcher types DD35-2 and DD35-3 or in connection with the M/E delegation, pay a t t e n t i o n t o t h e a s s i g n m e n t o f t h e M/E designation of the makro to the physical M/E of the control panel.
The supplied RSAT makros only function as usual when being used in a DD35-4
system and when the M/E control fields of the control panel are delegated 1:1 in
relation to the mainframe.
Assignment table
RSAT makros controlling parts of an M/E, have M/E designations relating to the
physical M/Es of the control panel.
There is the following assignment:
DD35-4DD35-3DD35-2RSAT Makros
Physical Control Panel M/ERSAT makros are fixed-assigned to a physical
The physical M/E of the control panel, however, can control any mainframe M/E.
In this case, an RSAT makro acts on that mainframe M/E which is just delegated
in the physical M/E of the control panel.
Panel M/E1 is delegated to mainframe M/E3RPS35–3:
Panel M/E1 is delegated to mainframe M/E2
Panel M/E2 is delegated to mainframe M/E3
This workaround is only possible with full equipped mainframe!
Subsequent loading of RSAT2 macros does no more influence control panel software stability.
Predefined macros got new names:
RSAT1 macro names are beginning with a ”1_”
RSAT2 macro names are beginning with a ”2_”.
