Physical Installation

We recommend that the equipment is installed to any relevant standards and approvals by qualified and
experienced personnel.
Unpacking the Equipment
On receiving your RCP-ME, check the contents against the packing list. Before you start installing the RCP-ME
into your system, ensure that all equipment itemized on the packing list is present and that there are no signs of
damage.
If anything is missing or damaged, contact your Ross Video office immediately to obtain the correct warranty
service procedures. This ensures prompt assistance, minimal turnaround time, and avoids any freight issues.
We recommend that the equipment is installed to any relevant standards and approvals by qualified and experienced
personnel.
Before You Begin
These installation guidelines assume the following:
• The relevant NK Series equipment has been installed into a ventilated rack frame. The relative humidity in the
environment of the equipment should be < 70% (non-condensing).
• The routing switcher system has been well planned and designed. Consideration must be given to inputs and
outputs across multiple router levels and typical operating scenarios for breakaways.
• Where required, correct IP addresses have been assigned to the equipment.
• The routing switchers are connected to physical inputs and outputs and have appropriate power supplies.
Installing the RCP-ME
The RCP-ME uses a TCP network for connection. It connects to any T-BUS routing devices using either the
NK-NET or the NK-IPS. The NK-NET receives phantom power from any T-BUS routers to which it is connected.
If the device providing power loses power, the NK-NET loses power as well.
