  • Page 17: Connecting Emc-Dcp To 3025Emc System

    EMC-DCP to the EMC, a network hub/switch is required. Connect a Cat 5 Ethernet cable from Ethernet A (on EMC-DCP) to the network hub. The user will then connect a Cat 5 Ethernet cable to the Network Port of the EMC. Use the EMCSetup software to setup the IP addresses, network settings, etc.
  • Page 18: Connecting Emc-Dcp To Qmc-2 System

    EMC-DCP to the QMC-2, a network hub/switch is required. Connect a Cat 5 Ethernet cable from Ethernet A (on EMC-DCP) to the network hub. The user will then connect a Cat 5 Ethernet cable to the Network Port of the QMC-2. Use the EMCSetup software to setup the IP addresses, network settings, etc.
  • Page 19: Configuring Ip Address And Qlink Address Of Emc-Dcp

    In order to set the IP Addresses of Ethernet ports A and B and the Q-Link address, the user will be required to enter the Setup Mode of the EMC-DCP, which can be accessed directly on the panel. Figure 3-9 shows which shaft encoders the user MUST push AND simultaneously hold down for 10 seconds in order to enter Setup Mode.
  • Page 20: Figure 3-9: Getting Into Emc-Dcp Setup Mode

    After about 10 seconds, the EMC-DCP panel will turn RED, and then it will switch to multi-coloured mode. In this mode, the EMC-DCP will display the various Setup Menu options in the top left corner of the panel (see Figure 3-10).
  • Page 21: Figure 3-11: Emc-Dcp Setup Menu

    Setup Menu. The next row is called the Menu Row. This is the row where the main EMC-DCP parameters are set. Use Shaft Encoder 1 to scroll through the parameters (see Table 3-2) and Shaft Encoders 2 to 5 to set the parameter values.
  • Page 22: Setting Up Ethernet Control Using Emc Setup

    SETTING UP ETHERNET CONTROL USING EMC SETUP Once the EMC-DCP has been setup, the user must now configure the rest of the EMC system to see the panel. This is done using the QMCSetup (or newer EMCSetup) software tool. The user will first set an IP address for the EMC channel and configure the EMC to send Q-Link packets over Ethernet (select checkbox).
  • Page 23: Figure 3-13: Qmcsetup/Emcsetup Windows Application

    EMC-DCP EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL Next, the user will configure the EMC-DCP to use Ethernet. The procedure for adding the EMC-DCP is similar to any other QMC-2 control panel. Under the EMC-DCP configuration, the user must set the Q- Link address (matches the one set on the EMC-DCP in section 3.6) and then select the “Ethernet instead of Qlink”...

    3.11. UPGRADING THE EMC-DCP FIRMWARE USING A USB In order to upgrade the firmware on the EMC-DCP, the user will need to download the latest EMC-DCP firmware from the Evertz website (www.evertz.com). The firmware should be transfer onto a USB 2.0 memory stick (onto the top level/root directory).
  • Page 30: Figure 3-18: Update Mode Of The Emc-Dcp

    The user will see the current firmware in the third row of LCD buttons. The VFD Display 1 will show the firmware versions found on the USB 2.0 Memory stick that is plugged into the EMC-DCP. The user will use the “Refresh” button to update the list. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to scroll the list of available firmware and scroll to the desired firmware release.
  • Page 31: Figure 3-19: Confirmation Of The Upgrade

    “No”, and they will be returned to Update Mode (see Figure 3-18). If the user selected “Yes”, the EMC-DCP will proceed to install the new update. This will include a panel reset. The process should take about 5 minutes to complete.
  • Page 32: Upgrading The Emc-Dcp Firmware Over The Network

    To do this you need to connect to the EMC-DCP webpage using the Mozilla Firefox web browser. To confirm that the configuration PC is able to connect to the EMC-DCP simply enter the IP address of the EMC-DCP (either NIC A or NIC B).
  • Page 33 From the upgrade webpage, click “Browse” to navigate to the location of the “.efp” file that you need to install. Note that there are two different file types. If the EMC-DCP is to be used with a QMC-2/3025 system then the “emcdcp-update-x.x.x.x.efp” upgrade file must be used. If the EMC-DCP is to be used with a PKG9625SW system then the “emcdcp-switcher-update-x.x.x.x.efp”...
