The panel is designed for use on a desktop, in a console, mounted in a rack or on a sliding tray in a rack. The EMC-DCP offers the same set of configurable features as the other QMC-2 control panels and can work with existing EMC or QMC-2 systems. The EMC-DCP also offers a number of optional features. 1.1.
Installation Manual LED Button transparency sheet Table 2-1: Packing List If items are missing from the EMC-DCP, please contact Evertz Service department at 1-905-335-7570 or service@evertz.com. 2.1.1. Physical Location The control panel is normally mounted on a desktop or in a console; however it may also be mounted in a sliding tray of an equipment rack.
EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL 2.1.3. Power Supply The EMC-DCP comes with an auto-ranging DC voltage adapter that automatically senses the input voltage. Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power supply cord to the power entry module on the DC voltage adapter. The power cord should be minimum 18 AWG wire size;...
EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL EMC-DCP PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION 3.1. PANEL CONFIGURATIONS The EMC-DCP can be ordered with various options. Figure 3-1 to Figure 3-3 illustrate some of the different configurations for the EMC-DCP. Figure 3-1: Basic EMC-DCP Panel Page 4 Revision 1.1...
EMC-DCP EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL 3.2. EMC-DCP PANEL - TOP DESCRIPTION Figure 3-4 is used to describe the parts of the EMC-DCP that will be referenced within this installation guide. Figure 3-4: EMC-DCP Top Panel Page 6 Revision 1.1...
Fan Status LEDs: These LEDs indicate the status of the EMC-DCP cooling fans. Cooling Fan unit: This is the cooling fan unit of the EMC-DCP. It can be serviced from the top surface of the EMC-DCP.
3.3. EMC-DCP PANEL INPUT/OUTPUTS The EMC-DCP has a number of inputs and outputs available. Please note that not all ports will be enabled at this time. Some ports MAY be used for future features. Figure 3-5 shows the inputs and outputs of the EMC-DCP.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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).
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”...

Serial or Ethernet to the EMC channel. Once all the appropriate fields have been entered, the setup is complete. If the IP address of the EMC has not been set, the EMC-DCP setup will not take effect. Page 17...
QMCSetup software. If not, the panel may report No Q-Link Comms. The user should check the Q-Link ID on the EMC-DCP and on the EMC Setup configuration file.

EMC-DCP EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL Button Description This button selects the source (from the 12 sources on LCD row below button) for the KEY Input of the PKG9625SW or PKGHD9625SW. It determines what portion of the variable to use, and from what source.
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).
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.
“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.
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).

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”...
