Configuration
This chapter provides instructions for configuring the MC1-PANEL-16 using the options available in DashBoard.

Before proceeding, ensure that you are running DashBoard software version 6.2.0 or higher. The DashBoard
software and user manual are available to download from the Ross Video website.
Before You Begin
Ensure that the following tasks are performed for each MC1-MK card that the MC1-PANEL-16 will communicate
with:
1. Select the Sources — You must specify the video format and the reference source, and configure the outputs
for each MC1-MK card that the MC1-PANEL-16 will interface with.
2. Configure the SqueezeBack feature — specifying the key order, configuring a tally/GPI for SqueezeBack.
3. Configure the Audio sources — specify which audio group is embedded for outputs, specify how much the
Program bus audio level is reduced when an EAS alert is active, specify whether the audio gain level is reset, to
the factory default value of 0dB during transition, configure the embedded audio sources for the Voice Over
feature for audio transitions.
For More Information on...
• performing these tasks, refer to the MC1-MK Installation Guide and the MC1-MK Operation Guide .
Configuring the Ethernet Communications

Contact your IT Department before configuring the network settings on your MC1-PANEL-16.
Each MC1-PANEL-16 includes an ethernet port on the rear panel. By default, this port is enabled and configured
for DHCP. This section explains the necessary network communication settings and lists several possible methods
for managing these settings.
• Default configuration via DashBoard — The MC1-PANEL-16 ships from the factory set to Custom User mode
with DHCP selected. This enables it to establish initial communication via DashBoard. Once communication is
established, you can change the network settings via DashBoard to implement a static address or continue using
DHCP depending on your facility requirements. DHCP Mode is assumed until the user changes the settings in
DashBoard.
• Automatic Configuration using DHCP — The MC1-PANEL-16 is configured to automatically obtain network
settings from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
• Preset Configuration using DIP switch(es) — The MC1-PANEL-16 can be forced to use specific pre-defined
network settings by means of the DIP switches located on the chassis rear panel. This can be used to establish
initial communications when no DHCP server is available, or to override a custom user configuration.
Initial Setup
Before proceeding, ensure that the DashBoard software is installed on your computer.
To verify connection on initial power up
1. Power on the MC1-PANEL-16.
2. Verify that the MC1-PANEL-16 IP address is reported on the chassis LCD Display.
3. Launch DashBoard.
4. Verify that the MC1-PANEL-16 displays in the Tree View.
