Page 16: Data Keys
RCP-128X Data Keys A Data Key is a key whose function is determined by the user. The assignment of functions to Data Keys is part of the system configuration performed with the control system software (e.g. Win3500Plus). For more information, see the documentation accompanying your control system software. -
Page 17: Status Display
RCP-128X Status Display Status is displayed by using the Data Key LEDs. The way the panel displays status for a particular destination will depend on the following factors: • The Levels of Control List for the panel • The Levels on which the destination of interest is defined •... -
Page 18: Default Status Method (Def)
RCP-128X Default Status Method (DEF) If the panel has been configured to use the Default Status Method, the Data Key LED for the source switched on the Status Level assigned to the panel, will be turned on. If a breakaway switch has been taken, involving other levels in the Status Level Group, the LED will flash. -
Page 19: Group Status Method (Grp)
RCP-128X Group Status Method (GRP) If the panel has been configured to use the Group Status Method, the Data Key LED for the source switched on the Status Level assigned to the panel, will be turned on. If the selected destination is not defined on the Status Level assigned to the panel, the system controller will scroll through the levels in the Status Level Group, in Level Order sequence, starting with the Status Level, until it finds a level on which the destination is defined. -
Page 20: Viewing Additional Status Information When A Data Key Led Is Flashing
RCP-128X Viewing Additional Status Information When a Data Key LED is Flashing A flashing Data Key LED indicates that a breakaway switch has been taken. To view status level-by-level: 1. Press the first Data Key assigned to a level. Status will be displayed for the selected destination on this level only. -

Page 25: Glossary
RCP-128X Glossary (Revised: 05-02-00) All Call A diagnostic procedure that causes a single physical input to be switched to a range of physical outputs, for a specified component, with a single command. Example: Assume the existence of a component RED which spans physical inputs 1 through 8 and physical outputs 1 through 8 on a routing switcher. -
Page 26: Block
RCP-128X Block A group of contiguous crosspoints in a routing switcher which form the smallest unit on which confidence is checked. Because of the nature of the circuits involved, individual crosspoints cannot be checked to see if they are operating correctly. Instead, the control circuitry shared by groups of crosspoints is monitored. -
Page 27: Chop Rate
RCP-128X Chop Rate The parameter used to control the switching rate when chopping two signals. The signal switching rate is determined as follows: Video Frame Rate (Frames/Se cond) Signal Switching Rate (Switches/ Second) Chop Rate For example, a chop rate of 1 used with NTSC signals (30 Frames/Second) will cause the signals to be switched 30 times per second. -
Page 28: Confidence
RCP-128X Confidence A property of a block, that indicates whether or not the circuitry controlling the crosspoints in the block, is functioning correctly. When block checking determines that a block is not functioning correctly, the block, and all crosspoints contained in it, are said to have confidence errors. -
Page 29: Data Key List
RCP-128X Data Key List A named list of the functions assigned to each data key on a panel. Multiple panels may share a data key list as long as they are the same type of panel. Different panel types may not use the same data key list. -
Page 30: Diagonal
RCP-128X Diagonal A diagnostic procedure that causes a range of physical inputs to be switched to a range of physical outputs, in a diagonal pattern starting from a specified coordinate and continuing until the either the inputs or outputs are exhausted, for a specified component, with a single command. -
Page 31: Index
RCP-128X Index The last portion of a source, destination, or reentry name. Indices provide an easy means of differentiating similar switching system devices. Each source, destination or reentry name may use 0, 1 or 2 indices. If no index is used, “00” is the default but is not displayed. - Page 32 RCP-128X Figure B Glossary...
-
Page 33: Level
RCP-128X Level A group of related components that are switched together. A level is sometimes referred to as a level of control and is the basic granularity seen by a user. The components which comprise a level will always be switched together except when performing diagnostic operations. -
Page 34: Lock
RCP-128X Lock A property placed on a destination that prevents all panels and ports from taking a switch on that destination, including the panel or port that locked it. Locks may be cleared by any panel or port that has the same requester code and lock priority as the panel that locked the destination, that has a higher lock priority, or that has a lock priority of 0 (zero). -
Page 35: Logical Output
RCP-128X Logical Output See: Logical Input. Logical Switch The Win3500Plus command that switches a logical input to a logical output. See also: Physical Switch. Matrix Breakup The division of a single physical matrix into one or more components. Matrix breakup allows complex signal types to reside within a single physical matrix. For example, a video matrix is often broken into R, G, and B components. -
Page 36: Ntsc
RCP-128X Figure B Strobe numbers are used to introduce a third dimension into matrix space. Every routing switcher in a switching system is assigned to a strobe. In systems using more than one strobe (and, therefore having three-dimensional matrix space), crosspoint coordinates are given in the form (input,output) on strobe x. -
Page 37: Output Offset
RCP-128X Output Offset In matrix space, the amount by which the origin of a component on strobe x, is offset from the origin of strobe x, measured along the output axis. The coordinates of crosspoints in matrix space are determined by the strobe they reside on, and their input and output numbers. -
Page 38: Pal
RCP-128X Figure B Phase Alternating Line, the dominant television standard in Europe. The United States uses a different standard, NTSC. Whereas NTSC delivers 525 lines of resolution at 60 half-frames per second, PAL delivers 625 lines at 50 half-frames per second. -

Page 42: Requester Code
RCP-128X Requester Code A property of panels and ports which allows them to be grouped with other panels or ports for the purpose of establishing lock and protect authority. Panel requester codes not explicitly defined automatically default to the panel address. -
Page 43: Salvo Include List
RCP-128X Salvo Include List A named list of the salvos a specific control panel is authorized to control. A salvo include list may be shared by multiple panels. Salvo include list names are one to eight characters in length and are constructed using uppercase letters, numbers, and spaces. -
Page 44: Soft Key
RCP-128X Soft Key A special type of data key whose assigned function may be changed locally by a panel user. Win3500Plus is used to designate a data key as either a soft source key or a soft destination key. The assignment of a specific source or destination to the soft key may then be made with either Win3500Plus, or locally at the panel by using Store Mode. -
Page 45: Status Level
RCP-128X Status Level The default level to be used when displaying the status of a destination receiving signals from multiple sources, on a panel in all levels mode (ALL LEVS). One function of the LCD display on a panel is to show which source is currently switched to a selected destination. -
Page 46: System 5 Device
RCP-128X System 5 Device See: RM5 Device. Tieline A special type of logical switch that allows a logical input on one level to be switched to a logical output on a different level. Example 1 - Switch a signal from analog camera ANCAM into an analog-to-digital converter... -
