Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing a Ross Video RCP-ME 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.

Features

The RCP-ME 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-ME
at any time using DashBoard. Therefore, if an RCP-ME is used in a number of different operating scenarios, the
configuration can be changed easily and quickly.

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

• 40 programmable buttons (sources, destinations, menu navigation, special functions)
• 16 character × 2 line backlit LCD
• operation in XY and cutbus modes
• 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
• custom transparent labels under buttons
• up to 250 pages of programmable menus including navigation buttons
• assignable functions of destination, source, crosspoint, level, breakaway, breakaway step, macro, protect, take,

chop, shift, de-assign, machine control, panel lock, menu link, and menu navigation



Salvos require the RCP-ME to be connected to an Ultrix router or Ultricore Central Controller.

Typical System Equipment

Typical equipment that is used in a Ross Video routing switcher system when an RCP-ME is used includes:

• a standard Ethernet 10/100/1000 network with an available range of addresses for fixed IPv4 addressing
• 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 network adapter, NK-IPS, Ultrix router, or Ultricore Central Controller
• a computer running DashBoard, connected via a standard CAT5/5e/6 Ethernet cable to the network
• standard source and destination equipment (for example, cameras, VTRs, servers)



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.
