Operation

Front Panel Features

The buttons on the MCP 1000 front panel enable you to set up and operate the MCP and to control a connected switcher.

NIn setup mode, the Menu, Next, W, and X buttons (b, c, and din the illustration below) provide access to the menus and submenus used for setting up the MCP. When the MCP is in one of the operating modes (switcher,

output, room, or preset), these buttons function the same as the other 12 selection buttons (ein the illustration). See “Using setup mode,” later in this chapter, for more information.

a LCD window — This screen displays messages, menu information, and selections you make by pressing front panel buttons in different operating modes. (See “Setting Up the Operation Mode,” later in this chapter, for more information.)

b Menu button — In setup mode, press this button to access the MCP’s menu system and step through the menus.

In the operating modes, this button becomes another selection button.

c Next button — In setup mode, after selecting a menu using the Menu button, press the Next button to step through the submenus.

In the operating modes, this button becomes another selection button.

d Right and left arrow buttons — In Setup mode, these buttons let you make selections from the current submenu that you accessed by pressing the Next button. From the submenus, you can select the operating mode, a preset, the IP address, etc.

In the operating modes, these buttons become selection buttons.

e Selection buttons — Press these buttons to issue SIS commands to select an audio or video input, an output, or a preset, depending on the operating mode specified at setup. (These buttons are disabled when the MCP is in setup mode.)

Application Examples

This section shows some examples of how the MCP 1000 can be used to perform various functions with a variety of devices. In view mode, the LCD window displays a title for the type of operation (see "Title screen display," later in this chapter). Numbers, names, and symbols can be created and inserted in the button caps to identify the function of each button (see "Changing the Front Panel Button Labels" in chapter 2, "Installation").

CAUTION

Do not connect both a Matrix 3200/6400 BME

 

and an MCP 1000M (master) unit on the same

 

comm-link connection. Also, do not connect more

 

than one master on the same comm-link connection.

 

Both of theses units supply voltage to the comm-

 

link ports on pins A and B. Connect these pins

 

to only one power source. This does not apply to

 

MCP 1000S (slave) units.

Master applications (RS-232)

For each configuration, a master sends out a specific SIS command for each button that is pressed. If the master has any slaves attached by comm-link, the master translates the comm-link signals to SIS commands and sends them to the device being controlled. The following examples include the SIS command, in which i is the input number, o is the output number, and p is the preset number.

CAUTION

Do not use delay or pause characters in RS-232

 

commands. Use contiguous SIS commands.

Pressing a panel button generates an SIS command to switch audio and video for the corresponding button. For example, press panel button 5 for input 5. If the switcher has fewer than 16 inputs, the MCP 1000 still sends out commands for unused buttons, which may cause an error response from the switcher.
