Overview
Different sources for each level are selectable (NSBUS operation)
You can select and display different sources for each level
using the breakaway function.
The MKS-R4020/MKS-E1620 is a remote control panel that
connects to Live Element Orchestrator (LEO) and is used to
change system configuration, register devices, and
configure device settings. The MKS-R4020 can also
connect to a PWS-100NM1/110NM1 running IP Live System
Manager (system controller) to switch the routing of video
signals and audio signals. You can use the selection
buttons on this unit to switch the source/destination of
signals of Networked Media Interface devices or to switch
the source/destination of a routing switcher.
Features
Large buttons that display functions in different
colors
Employs large LCD buttons on the front panel designed for
easy operation.
The color and brightness of LCD buttons can be configured
so that the button function and the current selection status
are visible at a glance.
You can set the button color and brightness in the web
menu to suit the operating environment to make the
buttons more visible.
Self-diagnostics function
The unit automatically performs self-diagnostics, such as
communications status checks. The diagnostics results
appear in the display window.
System redundancy support
The unit features dual power supplies and networks to
support system redundancy.
Monitor function to watch the selection status of
other outputs (NS-BUS operation)
When a destination you wish to monitor is set as a monitor
destination, the source automatically switches to the same
source as the monitor destination when the monitor
function is set to ON.
Switching between two sources alternately (chop
function) (NS-BUS operation)
The chop function switches between two sources
alternately at a specified interval automatically.
Switching of multiple crosspoints using a single
operation (salvo function) (NS-BUS operation)
When multiple crosspoints have been selected and a salvo
is defined beforehand using the web menu, all the
crosspoints set for the salvo can be switched by pressing
one button.
Display window for each LCD button (NS-BUS
operation)
The LCD buttons themselves are display windows. Each
LCD button has a 2-line, 8-character display window. The
source name is displayed in the display window of source
selection buttons, and the destination name is displayed
in the display window of destination selection buttons.
Status display function (NS-BUS operation)
The currently selected source name, destination name,
and any error messages are displayed.
Connection Mode Settings
LEO/NS-BUS control support (MKS-R4020)
The MKS-R4020 supports two operating modes: “LEO
operation” where it connects to LEO to control the setup
and operation of each device, and “NS-BUS operation”
where it connects to a system controller to control the
routing of video and audio signals.
LCD buttons used for selecting both sources and
destinations (NS-BUS operation)
All LCD buttons on the front panel can be used as source
selection buttons or destination selection buttons
according to settings in the web menu. The current setting
can be easily discerned by the color of the button when lit.
Controllable up to 128 levels1) (NS-BUS operation)
Up to 128-level (128 signals) control is supported using
settings configured using the web menu.
1) Levels
To handle different kinds of signals simultaneously, it is
necessary to use a routing switcher for each type of signal. For
example, a recording to be made on a VTR requires the use of
five signal levels: video, audio 1, audio 2, timecode and remote
control signals. These are collectively referred to as levels.
The remote control panel supports three connection
modes for operation.
The MKS-E1620 supports LEO connection mode only. The
MKS-R4020 supports LEO connection mode, NS-BUS
connection mode, and Hybrid connection mode.
LEO connection mode
The unit connects to LEO to support LEO operation.
NS-BUS connection mode
The unit connects to a system controller to support NS-BUS
operation.
Hybrid connection mode
The unit connects to LEO and a system controller
simultaneously to support both LEO operation and NS-BUS
operation, and can switch operation.
LEO operation
The unit communicates with LEO to configure and control
each device connected to LEO.
In LEO operating mode, all settings for the LCD buttons and
rotary encoders of the remote control panel are made from
LEO.

CAUTION for LAN port
The LAN port of this unit is to be connected only to the
devices whose power feeding meets the requirements for
SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and complies with Limited
Power Source according to IEC 60950-1.
CAUTION
When you connect the LAN cable of the unit to peripheral
device, a shielded-type cable is strongly recommended to
prevent malfunction due to radiation noise and
electrostatic noise.
LAN2 port
Connect to the network with system controller connected
(network 2).

Preparations
Notes
• When you connect the LAN cable of the unit to
peripheral device, a shielded-type cable is strongly
recommended to prevent malfunction due to radiation
noise and electrostatic noise.
• If a redundancy configuration is not used on the
network, use the LAN1 port.
DC IN connector
Connect to the supplied AC adapter.
Notes on Installation
For installing the unit in a 19-inch rack
When installing in a 19-inch rack, use binding-head screws
(+B5×10, 7-682-575-04).
For use in an OB van
When the unit is to be used in an OB van, be sure to bind
the cables to a rack strut to avoid having the weight of
cables add to vibration shock to the connector on the side
panel during transport.
Setting Up the Unit
First, configure the network preferences using the buttons
on the unit. For details about network preferences and
connection mode settings, refer to the Installation Manual.
You can enter the IP address specified for the unit in a web
browser to display the web menu. Use the web menu to
configure detailed settings.
Connections with System Controllers
and LEO
A remote control panel can be connected in a single
system connection or in a redundancy system connection.
Several modes are supported for redundancy system
connections.
Single system connection
A single system connection is the simplest connection
type.
Use LAN1.
Dual LAN redundancy system connection
A dual system redundancy structure uses both LAN1 and
LAN2 of the remote control panel.
Operation will continue in the event of a single system
switch failure.
Note
When using a dual LAN1 and LAN2 system connection, do
not use IP addresses for the same segment.

A single system redundancy structure uses only LAN1 of
the remote control panel.
The wiring for LAN1 only is connected, but the panel
connects to both system A and system B. This
configuration is useful if you want to reduce the LAN cable
wiring or if there are no available ports on a switch.
Use LAN1.
Configuring Using the Buttons
Operations
Note
This section describes typical operation on the
MKS-R4020. For other models, substitute the button
names and other items corresponding to your model.
LEO Operation
In LEO operating mode, all the LCD buttons and rotary
encoders are configured and controlled from LEO. For
details, refer to the User Manual of Live Element
Orchestrator.
Basic settings of the unit can be configured using the web
menu, but the following settings can also be configured
directly on the unit. The following items can be set on the
unit by turning the power on while pressing a combination
of LCD buttons, as described below.
Setting the default IP address
Simultaneously press buttons 1 and 2, then turn the power
on.
For details about the IP address setting, refer to the
Installation Manual.
Resetting the software
On the MKS-E1620, press and hold buttons 1, 3, and 4
simultaneously for three seconds or longer. On the
MKS-R4020, press and hold buttons 21, 23, and 24, for
three seconds or longer. The software is reset, and the unit
returns to the same status as when power is first turned
on.

as selection buttons or function buttons. You can assign a
crosspoint switching function, or a source or destination to
a selection button. You can assign a function that performs
an operation to a function button. The required functions
to perform operations must be assigned to the function
buttons beforehand. For details about button assignment,
