1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing Lightware Control Panels. MX-RCP16 and MX-RCP32 are
remote control panels for controlling Lightware matrix routers remotely through LAN
connection.
1.1. Box contents
Remote Control Panel
Universal DC adaptor with interchangeable plug
UTP cross-link cable
1.2. Description
The RCPs can be used just like the front panel buttons on matrix routers to make
crosspoint changes, or they can be programmed for special functions like salvo mode or
universal device control.
The salvo mode allows storing a group of commands for each button. This function
makes possible to send out multiple commands with a single press of a button.
MX-RCP16, MX-RCP32
User’s Manual
1.3. Features
The universal device control mode transforms the RCP to a simple button array to control
any device through a simple protocol. The control panels have illuminated front panel
buttons and an Ethernet LAN port for configuration and connecting to the controlled
device.
The remote control panels can communicate with different protocols, and they have
several operational modes. The communication protocol can be set with a DIP switch on
the rear of the unit. Using different protocols depends on the application and the device
that has to be controlled.
In X-Y mode the remote control panel functions just as if it would be the front side control
panel of a matrix. Each button is dedicated to an input or an output of the matrix router
that the RCP is connected to.
The salvo mode makes possible to execute a sequence of commands with a single
button. In this mode the buttons are not dedicated to I/O ports, but each button can have
its own command sequence that is executed if the button is pressed.
Remote access to Lightware matrix switchers – Lightware matrices can be
remotely controlled through Ethernet connection.
16+16 and 32+32 button version – Remote Control Panel is available with two
layouts in 16+16 and 32+32 button version.
Salvo functions – Salvos (group commands) can be created and saved into the
RCPs which can be run by front panel buttons.
Lightware Matrix Controller Software - Setup and programming in Lightware
Software via Ethernet connection.
X-Y mode – The device can be used just as if it would be the front panel of a
matrix.
UDC mode – Controlling a third party device via UDC protocol.
Universal power adaptor – Equipped with a universal +5V DC power adaptor,
which accepts AC voltages from 100 to 240 Volts with 50 or 60 Hz line frequency
(or use Lightware’s rack mountable power supply).
Locking DC connector – Special plug of wall adaptor ensures safe power
supply. This type of connector prevents unwanted extractions.

Section 2. Controls and connections Page 11 / 36
Page 12
3. Installation
When building an electronic system, make sure that all of the devices are powered down
before connecting them. Powered on devices may have dangerous voltage levels that
can damage sensitive electronic circuits.
After the system is complete, connect and fix the DC power cable to the unit and then to
the power outlet. The unit is immediately powered ON.
After powered on, the unit performs a self-test and then the OUTPUT LOCK buttons
starts blinking red.
Info: At switching ON, the router reloads the latest settings which were used before it was
turning off. The unit has an internal emergency memory which stores all current settings.
This memory is independent from presets and invisible for the user. This built-in feature
helps the system to be ready immediately in case of power failure or accidentally
powering down.
Info: If the CPU LIVE LED at the rear of the unit does not start blinking green, the unit is most
likely damaged and further use is not advised. Please contact support@lightware.com.
The RCPs can be used to remote control matrix routers, or as a simple button array to
control any device through a simple protocol. The below guide describes how to build and
configure these systems.
3.1. Remote control matrix routers
Step 1. Install a Lightware matrix router with sources and displays as needed.
Step 2. Connect the matrix to a network hub, switch or router with its Ethernet port by an
Ethernet patch cable.
Step 3. Connect the RCP to the same network as the matrix.
a) One RCP unit can connect to one matrix router
b) More RCP units can connect to the same matrix router depending on the
router’s Webserver firmware version.
Step 4. Set the RCP unit’s protocol to 0, 1, 2, 4 or 5 with the DIP switch.
Step 5. Power up the devices.
Step 6. Set the IP address as described in section 4.2.1 on page 13.
3.2. Universal device control system
The RCP can operate as a universal device controller (UDC). In this mode the RCP
sends a command regarding each button press or release. These commands can be
processed by a third party device. On the other hand, the RCP can take commands to
control its built-in LEDs.
Step 1. Prepare a device that implements the UDC protocol (UDC server).
Step 2. Connect the UDC server to a network hub, switch or router by an Ethernet patch
cable.
Step 3. Connect one or more RCP units to the same network. (One RCP can connect to
one UDC server at a time, but several RCPs could connect to the UDC server
depending on its configuration.)
Step 4. Set the RCP unit’s protocol to 3 with the DIP switch.
Step 5. Power up the devices.
Step 6. Set the IP address as described in section 4.2.2 on page 14.

4. Configuration
4.1. Communication protocol settings
The RCPs can communicate with different protocols, and they have several operational
modes. The protocol can be set with a DIP switch on the rear of the unit. The use of
different protocols depends on the application and the device that has to be controlled.
Viewing the protocol
Step 1. Press and hold the Control Lock button for 4 seconds. (Control Lock button lights
up in red continuously).
Step 2. Press and keep pressed the Output Lock button. The current protocol indication
will light up: (the numbers are the binary representation of the protocol)
MX-RCP16, MX-RCP32
User’s Manual
Lightware protocol – used between Lightware devices
Secondary (Extron) protocol – Ensure the compatibility in systems where third
party device is installed running Extron protocol.
UDC protocol – Protocol for UDC mode
Changing the protocol
The communication protocol can be changed on the rear of the unit:
Step 1. Set the DIP switch as a binary representation of the protocol number.
Step 2. Check the protocol on the front panel as described above.
Info: Protocol can be changed at any time, no restart or power off is required.
4.2. IP address settings
Remote control matrix routers
Step 1. Check that the RCP unit protocol is set to 0, 1, 2, 4 or 5.
Step 2. Set the controlled matrix to fix IP configuration, and set the IP address manually.
Remember the IP address and the port number.
Step 3. Connect to the RCP with the Matrix Controller software.
a) The RCP has a fix IP address as factory default: 192.168.254.254. To
change this, use a crosslink UTP cable and connect the unit directly to
your computer’s Ethernet port. Or enable DHCP through the front panel
buttons. See more information in section 4.2.3 on page 14.
b) The three operation mode buttons will blink green while the RCP unit is in
configuration mode (Matrix Controller Software is connected).
Step 4. Set the IP address and port of the matrix as the target IP address and port.
Step 5. Close the Matrix Controller software to disconnect from the RCP.
Step 6. The RCP tries to connect to the matrix on the set IP address. (If the connection
cannot be established, the ‘OUTPUT LOCK’ button blinks continuously.)
Step 7. The system is ready to use. The RCP will function just as it would be the front
panel control of the connected matrix router.
Section 4. Configuration Page 13 / 36
Page 14
Universal device control system
Step 1. Check that the RCP unit protocol is set to 3.
Step 2. Set the UDC server to a fix IP address and port number.
Step 3. Connect to the RCP with the Matrix Controller software.
a) The RCP has a fix IP address as factory default: 192.168.254.254. To
change this, use a crosslink UTP cable and connect the unit directly to
your computer’s Ethernet port. Or enable DHCP through the front panel
buttons. See more information in section 4.2.3 on page 14.
b) The three operation mode buttons will blink green until the RCP unit is in
configuration mode.
Step 4. Set the IP address and port number of the UDC server as the target IP address
and port number.
Step 5. Close the Matrix Controller software to disconnect from the RCP.
Step 6. The RCP automatically tries to connect to the UDC server on the set IP address.
(There is no automatic indication to show whether the connection is established
or not. The server should detect the connection and send some commands for
the RCP unit to generate indication.)
Step 7. The system is ready to use. The RCP will send a command if a button is pressed
down or released. The LEDs can be switched ON/OFF/BLINK by sending
command to the RCP.
Resetting the IP address
The unit’s Ethernet port can be set to factory default IP configuration or to DHCP mode
with front panel buttons. To set the IP configuration perform the following:
Step 1. Ensure that there is no active connection on the Ethernet port. You have to
unplug the LAN cable.
Step 2. Lock the front panel buttons: press and hold the Control Lock button for 4
seconds (Control Lock button lights in up red continuously).
Step 3. Press and keep pressed the Output Lock button (the current protocol indication
will light up).
Step 4. Press and release the

Figure 5-1. Protocols and working modes
X-Y mode
In this mode, the remote control panel functions just as if it would be the front side control
panel of a matrix. Upper buttons are dedicated to the inputs, lower buttons to the outputs
of the matrix router that the RCP is connected to. This operation mode has two switching
modes: TAKE and AUTOTAKE.
Y mode
The Y mode is similar to X-Y mode but in this mode upper and lower buttons have the
same function. Upper and lower buttons represents the inputs of the connected matrix
router. While the Y button is pressed, the affected output can be selected. This way an
MX-RCP16 can control a matrix with 32 inputs and 32 outputs, an MX-RCP32 can control
a matrix with up to 64 inputs and 64 outputs.
Salvo modes
The salvo mode makes possible to execute a sequence of commands with a single
button. In this mode the buttons are not dedicated to I/O ports, but each button can have
its own command sequence that is executed if the button is pressed.
MX-RCP16: 32 pcs. salvos in Lightware protocol + 32 pcs. salvos in Secondary protocol
MX-RCP32: 64 pcs. salvos in Lightware protocol + 64 pcs. salvos in Secondary protocol
Y
Verified salvo mode
The command sequence can contain any switching command. The RCP checks the
response from the matrix and verifies if the crosspoint state matches with the issued
commands. If the command has not been verified by the matrix, the button starts to blink.
Free salvo mode
The command sequence can contain anything. The response is not monitored, the last
pressed salvo button lights until another is pressed.
Universal device control
UDC protocol is developed to create a simple button array that can be used as a
universal device controller. The RCP sends a command regarding each button press or
release. These commands can be processed by a third party device. On the other hand,
the RCP can take commands to control its built-in LEDs, see chapter 7 on page 28.
Section 5. Operation Page 15 / 36
Page 16
5.2. Control lock
Front panel button operations on the RCP unit can be enabled or disabled using
CONTROL LOCK button. This does not affect the front panel control on the router itself. If
the button is not illuminated, front panel button operations are enabled. If it illuminates red
continuously, front panel operations are inhibited.
Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for 3 seconds to toggle the control lock
state.
Info: Control lock function is not available when UDC protocol is selected or Salvo mode is
selected.
5.3. Front panel operations in X-Y mode
The X-Y mode is active when the ‘X-Y MODE’ button lights on the front panel. In this
mode, the remote control panel functions almost the same as if it would be the front side
control panel of a matrix. There are minor differences due to the remote communication
delay and because the RCP may have more I/O buttons as the controlled matrix.
Each button is dedicated to an input or an output of the matrix router that the RCP is
connected to. The upper buttons refer to inputs and the lower buttons refer to outputs.
This way the MX-RCP16 has 16 source buttons and 16 destination buttons, while the
MX-RCP32 has 32 source buttons and 32 destination buttons. In this manner, this mode
is most efficient when the RCP has at least as much buttons as the controlled router.
(The upper numbered ports of a 32x32 matrix will be unreachable with this mode when
using an MX-RCP16.)
If a button is pressed on the RCP that refers to a higher numbered I/O port than the
matrix frame size, the button gives a short flash to indicate press, but otherwise it is
ignored.
TAKE / AUTOTAKE modes
The RCP has two switching modes in X-Y operation mode: TAKE and AUTOTAKE. If the
TAKE / AUTO button is unlit, TAKE mode is active. When the TAKE / AUTO button
continuously lights green, AUTOTAKE mode is selected.
Press and hold the TAKE button for three seconds to toggle between TAKE and
AUTOTAKE modes.
TAKE mode allows the user to make multiple connections and disconnections at once.
This mode is useful when time delay is not allowed between multiple switching. The
commands are only realized when the TAKE button is pressed. If no button is pressed for
two seconds, all preselected actions (which were not realized with pressing TAKE) will be
ignored, and the RCP returns to its idle state.
AUTOTAKE mode is useful when immediate actions must be done or fast switching is
needed between sources on a particular destination. In this mode switching occurs
immediately upon pressing one of the input selector buttons.
Viewing crosspoint state
User can check the current crosspoint status of the connected router on the RCP unit.
This status view feature is slightly different in TAKE or AUTOTAKE modes because of
different approach of the two modes.
Info: Status view occurs whenever the router has to be switched. After entering the view state,
the user can change the routing configuration. Viewing and switching can be done after
each other, or if nothing is pressed for three seconds, the RCP returns to idle state.

User’s Manual
View current state in TAKE mode
If all source and destination buttons and TAKE button are unlit (the unit is in TAKE mode,
and no input was selected in last 3 seconds), user can verify both input and output
connections. This informative display will remain for 3 seconds, and then all button lamps
go out. In TAKE mode no accidental change can be done unless TAKE button is pressed.
For viewing input connections, press and release a source button. Now the selected
source button and all destination buttons will light up which are currently connected to the
selected source.
For viewing output connections, press and release a destination button. Now the source
button which is connected to the selected destination will light up. If no source button is
lighting, the selected destination is disconnected from any source, or is in muted state.
View current state in AUTOTAKE mode
In AUTOTAKE mode only states of destinations can be viewed.
Press and release the required destination button. Now the source button which is
connected to the selected destination will light up. If no source button is lighting, the
selected destination is disconnected from any source, or is in muted state. By pressing
another destination button, the state of that destination can be seen.

Creating connections and disconnections in TAKE mode
Step 1. First press and release the desired source button. The pressed source button and
all destination buttons which are currently connected to this source will light up.
The dark destination buttons are not connected to this source. This is an
informative display about current status of the selected input (view only).
Step 2. Press and release the desired destination button(s) which has to be connected to
the selected source. The preselected destination button(s) start(s) blinking.
Step 3. Press and release any green lighting destination button which has to be
disconnected from the selected source. The pressed destination(s) turn(s) dark.
Step 4. Press and release TAKE button to execute the tie(s). Now the selected input is
switched to the selected output(s) and disconnected from the deselected
output(s).
Info: Deselected destinations are disconnected from any source, thus output devices will
display black image or "no signal" message, or automatically will turn off.
Creating a connection or disconnection in AUTOTAKE mode
Step 1. Press and release the desired destination button. The pressed destination button
and the actually connected source button light up green. If no source is connected
(the output is muted) no source button will light up.
Step 2. To connect another source, press and release the desired input button. The
switch action will be executed immediately. Switching between sources to the
selected destination can be done directly.
Step 3. To disconnect the output from any sources, press and release the current input
button that lights green. The switch action will be executed immediately and the
output is disconnected.

OUTPUT LOCK
Lightware routers can lock a destination’s state. This feature prevents an accidental
switching to the locked destination in case of important signal. Locking a destination
means, that no input selection or muting can be executed on that particular destination.
Destinations can be independently locked or unlocked through an RCP unit. Locking a
destination does not affect other destinations.
Viewing or changing output lock states in TAKE mode
Step 1. Press and release the Output Lock button.
Step 2. The Output Lock button and all the buttons of any locked destinations light up,
and remain illuminated for two seconds (view state).
Step 3. If no button is pressed for three seconds, the RCP returns to idle state.
Step 4. To change an output’s lock state:
a) If an unlit output button is pressed, it starts to blink, to indicate that it is
preselected for output locking.
b) If an illuminating output button is pressed, it goes off, to indicate that it is
preselected for unlocking.
Step 5. Press and release TAKE button. The preselected output lock states are changed.
Viewing or changing output lock states in AUTOTAKE mode
In AUTOTAKE mode a destination is selected all the time. Therefore the currently
selected output and input buttons are illuminated. The Output Lock button illuminates
regarding to the lock state of the current output.
Viewing all locked outputs is not possible in AUTOTAKE mode, as pressing the Output
Lock button instantly locks or unlocks the current output.
Step 1. Press and release the desired destination button. Now the selected destination
button and the currently connected source button light up (view mode).
Step 2. The Output Lock button lights if the selected output is locked.
Step 3. Press and release the Output Lock button to toggle lock state on the selected
output.
a) If the output was previously unlocked, the Output Lock button was not
b) If the output was previously locked, the Output Lock button was

5.5. Front panel operations in SALVO mode
Salvo mode is active when the SALVO button lights on the front panel. In this mode the
buttons are not dedicated to an input or an output port of the connected matrix. Each
button can have its own command sequence that is executed if the button is pressed.
The command sequences can be programmed to the RCP with the Matrix Controller
software.
Info: TAKE / AUTO, Load Preset and Save Preset buttons are disabled in this mode.
Verified salvo mode
The command sequence can contain any switching command according to the selected
protocol (Lightware or secondary protocol). The RCP checks the response from the
matrix and verifies if the crosspoint state matches with the issued commands. The button
will light only if all the commands were successfully executed, and the matrix
configuration is in accordance with the command sequence. If the crosspoint
configuration does not match with the sent commands, the button blinks.

a) In verified salvo mode the pressed button stays illuminated if the
command sequence contained only switch commands, and the response
from the matrix meets the required configuration. Otherwise the pressed
button blinks.
If the salvo was executed correctly, but later the matrix configuration is
changed (e.g. switching is done directly on the router’s front panel), than
the salvo button starts to blink. This indicates that the current crosspoint
configuration does not match the previously selected salvo.
If the crosspoint configuration changes to a state that meets the last
executed salvo, then the salvo button changes to continuous illumination.
b) In free salvo mode the pressed button stays illuminated disregarding the
response.

proper shortcut from Start Menu Programs Lightware folder.
Step 3. The Find dialog appears automatically.
Figure 6-1. Ethernet connection
Page 24 / 36 Section 6. Software control – Using Lightware Controller Software
Page 25
MX-RCP16, MX-RCP32
User’s Manual
The software picks the primary Ethernet interface, and shows the available Lightware
devices on that port. The device type and the serial number are displayed automatically.
Click the desired device, to highlight it.
If the computer has more Ethernet ports (for example Wi-Fi and LAN connections are
used simultaneously), you have to select the one that is used to control the router from
the drop-down list. If you are unsure which one to use, try to search for devices on all of
them.
Step 4. Click on the Connect button to connect to the device.
Info: If the router is not listed in the “available devices on Ethernet” box, try searching again, or
see check the other Ethernet interfaces as well.
Info: Only one user is allowed to connect to the RCP unit via Ethernet.
Info: Be sure that the firewall is not blocking the application!
The RCP enters configuration mode when the software connects to it. The three
operation mode buttons are blinking simultaneously to indicate this. While in configuration
mode, the front panel operations are ignored on the RCP unit. When the Lightware Matrix
Controller finds the hardware, it determines the product type, and the control menu
appears.
6.3. Control menu
In the upper frame, the target IP address and port number of the matrix router or the UDC
server is displayed. The currently set target is inquired and displayed upon connection.
To change the controlled target, type the IP address and port, then press Apply. The IP
address must be typed with all leading zeros in the dot-decimal notation. (e.g. write
192.168.002.113 instead of 192.168.2.113)
Figure 6-2. RCP control menu
The IP address and port of a matrix router can be checked on the front panel LCD on the
matrices or the devices can be discovered with the FIND dialog in the Matrix Controller
software.
Salvo configuration
In the lower frame the SALVO command sequences can be set up. Salvo commands can
be used to execute a sequence of commands with one press of a button. One command
sequence is stored for each button.
Section 6. Software control – Using Lightware Controller Software Page 25 / 36
Page 26
The RCP stores a total of 128 command sequences: 64 for Lightware protocol and
another 64 for the secondary protocol. The control software displays if Lightware or
Secondary protocol is active for remote controlling, and shows only the 64 salvos that
belong to the actual protocol. The other 64 salvos are not accessible and not affected.
Storing salvos
Each salvo memory can store a maximum 512 character long command sequence. Each
command has to be typed including { } brackets. Any commands can be stored, but when
verified salvo mode is used, only switching commands are sent. If a stored salvo contains
switching and other commands as well, the non-switching commands are omitted. When
using free salvo mode, any string in the salvo memory is sent to the matrix.
Salvo commands are sent as a batch. In most cases, batch commands are processed
just as if they were sent one by one, but for switching commands, the router groups them,
and executes switching in one step. The grouping is done only if the switching commands
are received after each other, without any interruption (e.g. other command sent between
switch commands). For example the salvo {02@01}{05@04} results in group switching
but the salvo {02@01}{+06}{05@04} does not resulted group switching, because another
command get between.
6.4. Status menu
Basic device information, such as the installed cards’ firmware versions are displayed in
this window.

8. Firmware upgrade
The RCP can be upgraded via LAN connecting to the local subnet. But to avoid packet
loss caused by an overloaded network, it is recommended to use cross UTP connection
directly from the upgrading PC to the Lightware device. Be sure that there is no other
active connection with the RCP via Ethernet, close the Controller Software if that is open.
8.1. Install the Bootloader
RCP can be upgraded using Lightware Bootloader from a Windows based PC or Laptop
via Ethernet.
Step 1. Run Installer_LW_bootloader_vX_X_X.exe (X_X_X is the three-digit software
version of the Bootloader).

Step 3. Select the desired device!
Double click on the IP address, then click ‘YES’ to establish connection with the RCP. It
will take 10-15 seconds to get all information from the device.
Info: The bootloader application will restart the RCP when it establishes the connection. The
RCP beeps when it is rebooted.
Step 4. Review the firmware versions!
After the connection is made, the device properties, and the installed controller modules
are displayed.
Select one or more controllers that need firmware upgrade by clicking the checkbox next
to it.
‘MX-RCP16’ is the main processor’s firmware, the ‘Web Server’ module handles the LAN
connection.
Step 5. Browse for the new firmware(s)!
Click the corresponding cell in the ‘Browse New Firmware’ column. A dialog pops up, to
confirm if you really want to modify the path. Now you can browse for the new firmware
file to upload. After opening the new file, the new firmware field will contain the name of

Page 32
Step 6. Upgrade firmware(s)
Click ‘UPGRADE SELECTED FIRMWARES’ button. A confirmation message appears.
After clicking the ‘YES’ button the selected controllers are being reprogrammed, with the
firmware you selected. If you select a file that doesn’t fit for the selected controller, you
will get an information message about which file is wrong. If you selected a controller to
upgrade, but you had not selected a file for it, then you will also get an information
message about which file is missing.
Quick Bootload mode can be switched on or off any time. It makes the bootloader
software faster by only checking the checksum of the controller. No data verification is
done after writing if the checksum was correct.
Info: The reprogramming can take between 3-8 minutes per controller.
A progress bar will show the current state of the reprogramming. With some controller
type an erasing process will take place first, and then the programming is done, so the
progress bar runs up twice.
When the reprogramming is finished, a ‘Done!’ message will appear in the bottom left
corner. The application closes the connection, and the device restarts.
Step 7. Done!
If the upgrade was successful, the following window pops up:
Now you can close the application, or you can select another device to upgrade. After
closing the Bootloader application, switch the upgraded devices off and then on. Now it is
ready to be used with the new firmware!
