1. Introduction
Synapse is a modular system designed for the broadcast industry. High density, intuitive operation and
high-quality processing are key features of this system. Synapse offers a full range of converters and
processing modules. Please visit the EVS website at www.evs.com to obtain the latest information on
our new products and updates.
Local Control Panel
The local control panel gives access to all adjustable parameters and provides status information for any
of the cards in the Synapse frame, including the Synapse rack controller. The local control panel is also
used to back-up and restore card settings. Please refer to the RRC18, RRC10, RRC04, RRS18 and RRS04
manuals for a detailed description of the local control panel, the way to set up remote control over IP and
for frame-related settings and status information.
Remote Control Capabilities
The remote-control options are explained in the rack controller (RRC18 / RRC10 / RRC04 / RRS18 /
RRS04) manual. The method for connecting to a computer using Ethernet is described in the RRC/RRS
manual.
Cortex software will increase system flexibility of one or more Synapse frames.
Although it is not required to use Cortex with a Synapse frame, you are strongly advised to use a remote
personal computer or laptop PC with Cortex installed, as this increases the ease of use and
understanding of the modules.
