Introduction

The Extron ECP 1000 event control panel attaches to as many as

three Extron SGS 408 seamless switchers to provide complete

control of multiple screens in large staging applications. The

ECP 1000 allows you to create simultaneous or synchronous

wipes, dissolves, fades, and cuts on any combination of the

attached screens.

The ECP 1000 includes pre-programmed effects that are

available at the touch of a single button. In addition, the

SGS 408 Control Program for Windows allows you to select

effects for each screen so you can create your own preset series

of effects.

Features

Pre-programmed effects — The effect buttons initiate multi-

screen effects. There are 40 user-programmable presets,

30 of which are pre-programmed at the factory. The

SGS 408 Control Program for Windows allows you to

overwrite all preset button settings.

Show sequencing — Using the SGS 408 Control Program for

Windows, you can create a series of effects that are

initiated sequentially at the touch of a single effect

selection button.

Button label software — Some buttons are labeled with a

pictorial example of their associated effects. You can

create labels for unlabeled buttons, or you can replace

existing labels to match any changes you have made to

button assignments.

Effect selection buttons — These buttons allow you to create

wipes, dissolves, and title effects.

Screen selection buttons — These buttons allow you to choose

the screen or screens on which an effect will appear.

Duration adjustment — This control allows you to specify the

length of time in which each effect occurs.

T-bar controller — This control allows you to manually control

the speed of a transition.

Figure 2-1 — ECP 1000 rear panel

AC power connector — One standard AC power connector

attaches the event control panel to any power source from

100VAC to 240VAC, operating at 50 or 60 Hz.

Cooling fan — One fan cools the ECP 1000 unit. The filter can

be removed and washed as needed. See page A-2 for

instructions.

RS-232/program connector — One 9-pin D female connector

allows you to communicate with Extron’s SGS 408 Control

Program.

RS-232/SGS 408 connectors — Three 9-pin D female connectors

allow you to attach an ECP 1000 event control panel to up to

three SGS 408 seamless switchers. The connectors correspond to

the screen selection buttons on the ECP 1000’s top panel.

Installation

To install and set up the ECP 1000, follow these steps:

Mount the SGS 408 switcher(s) as described in the SGS 408

User’s Manual (Extron part number 68-520-01).

Set the ECP 1000 on a flat surface.

For each SGS 408 to which the ECP 1000 will be connected,

attach an ECP comm cable (provided with the SGS 408)

between an SGS connector on the ECP 1000 and the RS-232

connector on the SGS 408. Figure 2-2 shows a typical

application.

If desired, attach a host computer or other control device

to the RS-232/program connector.

Applying a title

A title can have two effects: window or key. The actual effect is

determined by the ECP title setting on the SGS 408 (see chapter

3 of the SGS 408 User’s Manual).

A title window causes a predefined box in the program image to

dissolve to reveal the preview image (figure 3-7). The effect is

as if the preview image were located behind the program

image, and a window in the program image opens to show the

preview image.

Figure 3-7 — A title window effect example

A title key causes any portion of the preview image which is

over half intensity (.35V) to be displayed with the program

image.

image dissolves away to be replaced by the preview

image. The Take button remains lit, and the Title

button flashes.

When you want to end the title, press the Take button

again.

• Move the T-bar control. The title appears and

remains until you move the T-bar to the opposite end

point of the t-bar slot. Or, you could stop moving the

T-bar and press the Take button, in which case the

title is completed during the remaining duration

time.

Wipes

A wipe causes the preview image to replace the program image

in any one of many directions.

• A standard wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll

over the program image horizontally or vertically. By

default, the wipe has hard edges. The preview image can

wipe across the program image with the following

transitions (figure 3-8):

• From left to right

• From right to left

• From top to bottom

• From bottom to top
