Destination And Sources; Specifying The Number Of Outputs/Inputs; Assigning Output And Input Labels - Ross Ultricore RCP-ME User Manual

Destination and Sources

Destination and source buttons map the physical connections on the routing switcher to the RCP-ME. You can
provide labels for these physical connections using the Input Assigns and Output Assigns tabs in the Panel Config
interface for the RCP-ME.

If the RCP-ME is connected to an Ultrix router or Ultricore Central Controller, the number of inputs and outputs
are defined by the Ultrix/Ultricore set up. Changes to Ultrix/Ultricore will overwrite any manual changes made
on the remote control panel.
