Setting Up the Operation Mode

Review the application examples for the mode in which your MCP 1000 will be used, and then set up the unit following the flow charts at the end of this chapter.

The following sections describe how the front panel operates.

LCD display

Before using the panel buttons and LCD menus, read the following descriptions.

Title screen display

When the MCP 1000 is powered up and operational, a title screen appears in the LCD display. If view mode is off, the product name appears. If view mode is on, a title indicates the operation mode. The example on the right shows output 3. If the MCP 1000 is configured as a room or as an output device, then the selected room number or output number is also displayed. In preset mode, the preset range numbers are also displayed.

Testing lights

If the panel buttons light one by one, in a left-to-right strobing fashion, the MCP 1000 is testing the lights. Check that each light is working.

Left-right selection arrows

During setup, some screens have graphic arrows on the left and/or right sides of the

display. If these appear, the left and right (navigation) panel buttons can be used to change the selection. These arrows can be seen, for example, in the screens that allow you to change the displayed address or to change the operating mode.

Using setup mode

To enter setup mode, press the two end buttons at the same time. The LCD display changes, and the four left-most buttons light to indicate that the MCP 1000 is in setup mode. The markings above the four buttons (Menu, Next, W, and X) are valid only at this time.

Mode examples

The function of each panel button depends on the mode and the assigned range. In a permanent installation, the panel button caps can be removed, and a paper or plastic insert can be placed inside to display text or an icon that represents the button’s function. See chapter 2, "Installation," for information about removing the button caps and printing button labels.

Preset mode

If the MCP 1000 is configured as a preset selector, the preset range is displayed. For example, if presets 17 through 32 are set, the first front panel button on the left corresponds to preset 17, and the first button on the right corresponds to preset 32. In this case, if the MCP 1000 is in preset mode and is set up to work with a matrix switcher, pressing button 3 on the MCP 1000 loads (activates) preset 19.

Switcher mode

In switcher mode, each button selects an input. For example, if the MCP 1000 is controlling a System 10 Plus, pressing buttons 11 through 16 results in an error display on the LCD panel. If a switcher has a breakaway feature, an MCP 1000 can be set up to switch audio only, video only, or both audio and video. See the examples on pages 3-3 and 3-4.

Output mode (matrix)

Output mode is like switcher mode, but for a specific output number on a matrix switcher. The assigned output number is displayed on the LCD panel. The MCP 1000 has 16 function buttons. If the matrix has more than 16 inputs, a set of 16 inputs must also be assigned. For example, if the MCP 1000 is set up to represent output 3 with inputs 1 through 16, pressing button 9 on the MCP 1000 panel selects (ties) input 9 to output 3. Another MCP 1000 can be set up to represent output 3 with inputs 17 through 32. A large matrix system such as this can have many MCP 1000s attached.

As another example, if you set the MCP 1000 to represent output 7 with inputs 49 through 64, output 7 appears in the LCD display. Button 1 selects input 49, button 2 selects input 50, and button 16 selects input 64.
