Figure 3-1 — RCP 2000 top panel
1 XLR lamp socket — Allows a Littlite ® flexible gooseneck lamp
to be connected for low intensity illumination of the control
panel.
2 Lamp dimmer control — Rotating this knob adjusts the
intensity of the lamp ( 1 ).
3 Program input selection buttons — Allow the system operator
to view the image switch as it happens. The button lights for
the currently selected program input.
Freeze — Locks the output display to the image that is currently
displayed on the program output.
• When a program image is frozen, a switch can still occur.
When the output is switched, the freeze command stays in
effect.
• To unfreeze the image, press the Freeze button.
• If an image is frozen when a different input is selected, or
if the unit loses power, the image unfreezes.
Black — Causes a black screen to be displayed. The black
screen can be switched by applying a cut or another effect.
A black input cannot be frozen.
1 – 12 — Selects the corresponding input to be displayed.
Normally, you will not use these buttons during a show. If
a program input selection button is pressed, the resulting
switch is not seamless.
4 Preview input selection buttons — Allow the system operator
to view the image before switching it to the program output.
The button for the currently selected preview input lights.
Freeze — Locks the preview image that is currently selected.
• When a preview image is frozen, a switch can still occur.
When the output is switched, the freeze command stays in
effect.
• To unfreeze the image, press the Freeze button.
• If an image is frozen when a different input is selected, or
if the unit loses power, the image unfreezes.
Black — Causes a black screen to be selected for preview. The
black screen can be switched by applying a cut or another
effect. The black input cannot be frozen.
1 – 12 — Allow you to select the preview input device. The
button is lit while the input is active.
5 Transmit and Receive LEDs — These LEDs flicker whenever
Ethernet data is being transmitted or received by the RCP 2000.
The data traffic is between the RCP and the SGS 408 or the
ISS 108/408.
6 Menu adjustment knob — Allows adjustment of menu
selections. See Applying and Changing a Switching Effect, later in
this chapter.
7 LCD display — Displays status information and menu screens.
8 Switching effect buttons — Control the type of switch that will
occur between program and preview inputs. Unless otherwise
indicated, the buttons affect both the ISS and SGS switchers.
Cut button — Initiates an immediate seamless switch between
the program and preview images.
Dissolve button — Causes the program input to fade out while
the preview input fades in. The dissolve duration is
adjustable.
