RCP-QE Overview

Features

The RCP-QE Remote Control Panel provides the following features:

• 17 programmable buttons (functions, backlighting level, color, and custom text)
• operation in XY mode
• up to 32 router levels may be controlled
• virtual routing and resource management
• macros
• custom module in DashBoard for easy creation of configuration files
• firmware is fully upgradeable using DashBoard
• slim modular design integrates with NK Series devices via NK-NET Ethernet to T-BUS bridge
• up to 250 pages of programmable menus including navigation buttons
• assignable functions of destination, source, crosspoint, level, breakaway, breakaway step, macro, salvo, Category 

Index Navigation, protect, take, chop, de-assign, machine control, panel lock, menu link, menu navigation, and 
menu display.

Category Index Navigation and salvos require the RCP-QE to be connected to an Ultrix router or Ultricore 
Central Controller.

Typical System Equipment

The RCP-QE is used when you require advanced control functions from a single point. Using DashBoard, you can 
program up to 250 menus on the same remote control panel. On each menu, the function of particular buttons may 
change depending on the assignment. These parameters can be saved in a configuration file and sent to an RCP-QE 
at any time using DashBoard. Therefore, if an RCP-QE is used in a number of different operating scenarios, the 
configuration can be changed easily and quickly.

Typical equipment that is used in an NK Series routing switcher system when an RCP-QE is used includes:

• any of the NK Series routing switchers with its appropriate power supply (for more information see the 

documentation provided with your NK Series routing switcher)

• an NK-NET, NK-IPS, Ultrix router, or Ultricore Central Controller
• a computer running DashBoard, connected via a standard CAT5/5e/6 Ethernet cable to the NK-NET
• standard source and destination equipment (for example, cameras, VTRs, servers)

If you are connecting the computer directly to the NK-NET, use a standard CAT5/5e/6 Ethernet cable.

If using an NK-IPS, connecting directly to the NK-IPS is not recommended.

If you are connecting the computer indirectly via an Ethernet switch to the NK-NET, use a standard CAT5/5e/6 
Ethernet cable.
