CP-TOUCH Rev. A

1 Product overview

Nevion’s IP-based Control Panel series includes advanced programmable control panels,
for control of Nevion VikinX routers and Flashlink cards. The Multicon controller also gives
you possibility to control 3rd party router systems from these panels. All buttons on the
control panels are configurable. The configuration is done from a Windows computer with
Nevion Configurator installed.

CP-TOUCH is a 1RU programmable control panel, offering 1280x120 pixels touch screen,
4 buttons, 2 rotary encoders and 16 GPI (I/O). The panel communicates with Multicon via
TCP/IP.

1.1 Control Panel Features

The control panels support the Software Configurable Keys concept (SCK), which means
that the control panels are fully programmable. Each button may be separately configured
with all the supported features.

Multiple layouts

Add a hierarchy of button layouts and navigate between them with standard buttons
functions (select, home, back). Standard layouts are 40 buttons, 10 buttons and 3 columns
list.

Advanced control features

Using rotary buttons, one layout can be configured to control large number of inputs and
outputs by scrolling. For example with a 40 buttons layout, a 256x256 router can be
controlled directly, using 20 buttons to scroll inputs and 20 buttons to scroll outputs. This is
also supported by virtual routers and salvos.

Flashlink card control features

With Nevion Configurator, the operator can configure the panel to control all the parameters
available per card. It's presented through a list which makes the operator able to quickly
navigate and control the parameters.

Virtual Router Functions

Map your physical levels into one virtual level. A virtual router may only include routers that
are physically connected to your system/application. Standard functions implemented
(Source, Destination, SrcToDest and Level selectors).

Categories are used to quickly select sources or destinations based on user-defined
names.

Router Functions

Standard router functions are implemented (Input, Output and InToOut). AVToggle can be
used to switch between audio and video levels.

Salvo

Standard salvo execution on each button may be configured. The salvo status is indicated
by button color.

GPI I/O

A button can be configured to be a GPI Output trigger. A GPI Input can also trigger a switch
command, or a salvo.

Layout features

Support features like button copy, button move and clear button function.
