1XLR lamp socket — Allows a Littlite® flexible gooseneck lamp to be connected for low intensity illumination of the control panel.

2Lamp dimmer control — Rotating this knob adjusts the intensity of the lamp ( 1 ).

3Program 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.

4Preview 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.

5Transmit 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.

6Menu adjustment knob — Allows adjustment of menu selections. See Applying and Changing a Switching Effect, later in this chapter.

7LCD display — Displays status information and menu screens.

8Switching 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.
