Introduction

The Extron RCP 1000 remote control panel provides complete
remote control of the input, effect, and transition controls
available on an SGS 408 seamless switcher.  Bi-directional
communication with the SGS 408 allows a switch to occur from
either device while the other device is updated to reflect the
switch.

Features

• Brightness and contrast controls — Adjust the brightness and

contrast of an input.

• Centering and sizing —

 Allow the output to be centered or

sized, both horizontally and vertically.

• Horizontal and vertical filtering —

 Provide up to eight levels

of horizontal and five levels of vertical filter control.
These operator-selectable filtering controls ensure that no
picture detail is dropped.

• Remote operation — Can be operated up to 1000 feet

(304.8 meters) away.

• Power — Receives power from the SGS 408.

• Program and preview inputs — Allow you to select the

upcoming switch.

• Transitions — Control the type of switch that will occur

between the preview and program outputs.  The Cut
button creates an instant switch between the preview and
program outputs.  The effect buttons allow the switcher
operator to choose from among four predefined effects.
The RCP 1000 effect presets are the same as the SGS 408
front panel effect presets.
