RCP-NKM User Guide (v3.0)

Introduction • 1–1

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Ross Video RCP-NKM Remote Control Panel. This remote control panel enables you 
to control a routing switcher system from one point. With Ross Video’s reputation for delivering leading-edge 
routing switcher equipment and our unsurpassed level of customer service and support, you can look forward to 
many years of reliable broadcasting. Please read this  thoroughly and retain it for future reference.

The RCP-NKM provides flexible connectivity of additional remote control panels and multi-page menu 
programming.

Overview of this User Guide 

This  is for installers, and operators of the Ross Video RCP-NKM. It provides instructions on how to connect the 
RCP-NKM to your routing switcher system, how to set up a configuration document for the RCP-NKM using 
DashBoard, and how to operate it. It assumes that you are experienced with general broadcast concepts, and that 
you are familiar with the planning requirements for a routing switcher system.
