MCP 1000 as part of a Matrix 3200/6400 system

When used with an Extron Matrix 3200/6400 switcher, the MCP 1000 has the same functions as the MKP 1000 Remote Keypad. For this type of installation, the MCP 1000 panels are hard-wired to a Matrix 3200/6400 switcher, and they can be mixed with MKP 1000 keypads. For additional information, see the MKP 1000 User’s Manual. As with the MKP 1000, the status of MCP 1000 units can be displayed on the front panel (FPC 1000) of the Matrix 3200/6400.

Comm-link requirements

The maximum total cable length in a comm-link system is 1000 feet (305 meters). It doesn’t matter whether the configuration is a daisy-chain, a star, or a combination of both.

The maximum number of MKP 1000 and MCP 1000 units in one system is 64.

Through the comm-link port, an MCP 1000M (master) unit supplies voltage to MKP 1000 units. Matrix 3200/6400 BMEs (Basic Module Enclosures) also supply voltage through the comm-link ports for MKP 1000s.
