an SGS 408 seamless switcher.
Installation
To install and set up the RCP 1000, follow these steps:
1 Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the SGS 408
and all attached devices are turned off and, if applicable,
disconnected from the power source.
2 Mount the SGS 408 as described in the SGS 408 User’s
Manual (Extron part number 68-520-01).
3 Set the RCP 1000 on a table or other flat surface.
4 Attach an RCP comm cable (provided with the RCP 1000)
between the RCP port on the rear panel of the SGS 408 and
the RCP port on the rear panel of the RCP 1000.
5 Continue the procedure for installing the SGS 408.
6 Attach power cords and plug the SGS 408 seamless
switcher, input devices, and output devices into a
grounded AC source.
7 Select an input from the RCP 1000 top panel buttons.
8 The image should now appear. If not, ensure that all
devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check the
cabling and make adjustments as needed. Select a
different input to check for an image.

Making an RCP Comm Cable
Use the following guidelines to make an RCP cable:
• At one end, attach a female 4-pin XLR connector.
• At the other end, attach a male 4-pin XLR connector.
• Connect pins straight through.
• Use at least 18 gauge wire paired with 20 gauge wire for
power (pin 1), 18 gauge wire paired with 20 gauge wire
for ground (pin 4), and 20 gauge twisted-pair wire for
communications (attach one pair to pin 3 and the other
pair to pin 4).
• The cable can be up to 1000 feet (304.8 meters) long.
• Power is supplied by the SGS 408.
