Introductionroduction, cont’d

The Extron RCP 2000 remote control panel provides complete remote control of a seamless switcher. The RCP controls the input selection, transition effect (cut, dissolve, or wipe), transition duration (automatic or T-bar manual control), and picture controls (color, tint, contrast, brightness, sizing, and centering) that are available on the ISS 108/408 or SGS 408 seamless switcher.

The RCP 2000 offers bi-directional Ethernet communication for the ISS 108/408, and RS-232 communication for both the ISS and the SGS 408. The RCP 2000 allows a switch to occur from either the RCP or the seamless switcher while the other device is being updated.
