Installation

To install and set up the RCP 1000, follow these steps:

1Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the SGS 408 and all attached devices are turned off and, if applicable, disconnected from the power source.

3Set the RCP 1000 on a table or other flat surface.

4Attach an RCP comm cable (provided with the RCP 1000) between the RCP port on the rear panel of the SGS 408 and the RCP port on the rear panel of the RCP 1000.

5Continue the procedure for installing the SGS 408.

6Attach power cords and plug the SGS 408 seamless switcher, input devices, and output devices into a grounded AC source.

7Select an input from the RCP 1000 top panel buttons.

8The image should now appear. If not, ensure that all devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check the cabling and make adjustments as needed. Select a different input to check for an image.

Making an RCP Comm Cable

Use the following guidelines to make an RCP cable:

At one end, attach a female 4-pin XLR connector.

At the other end, attach a male 4-pin XLR connector.

Connect pins straight through.

Use at least 18 gauge wire paired with 20 gauge wire for power (pin 1), 18 gauge wire paired with 20 gauge wire for ground (pin 4), and 20 gauge twisted-pair wire for communications (attach one pair to pin 3 and the other pair to pin 4).

The cable can be up to 1000 feet (304.8 meters) long.

Power is supplied by the SGS 408.
