the desired picture control button and rotate this knob to make

 

the adjustment to the preview input.

M

Picture control buttons — Allow you to make adjustments to

 

the picture for the preview output. The five control buttons

 

control color and tint, contrast and brightness (Cont/Bright),

 

sizing (Size), centering (Center), and detail. These buttons light

 

when pressed. See “Using the Picture Controls,” later in this

Setting Up IP Communication

The RCP 2000 is delivered with a factory default IP address of 192.168.254.253. If you want to change this address, or you need to enter other information required for Ethernet or serial communication, follow these steps to set up IP communication via the top panel:

1. Press the Color/Tint, Cont/Bright, Size, and Center Picture Control buttons simultaneously, and hold them until the Cut button lights (about 2 seconds). The RCP’s MAC address (XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX) is displayed on the LCD screen.
