he RCP-ME is the Ethernet version of the RCP-NKM, the most popular NK Series control panel and finds a home in a wide range of applications due to its familiarity, flexibility and cost-effectiveness.

The RCP-ME has all of the same button programmability as the RCP-NK1 (source, destination, breakaway, level select, macro, protect, take and panel lock), and adds a backlit 16×2 LCD display for display of source and destination names, system warnings and errors.

The new RCP-ME is an Ethernet based panel, which means improved ease of configuration, and more flexible control architectures. When combined with the NK-NET, the NK-ME panel offers users the most redundant communications set up for small systems in the industry.

Additionally, the RCP-ME adds the ability to create menus, which enables the grouping of sources and destinations based on physical requirements (studios, edit suites, QC racks) or categories (servers, cameras, monitors). Menu navigation buttons programmed onto the RCP-ME also enable quick access between menus.

The variable backlight allows labels to be read in low light control room conditions, making this panel ideal for a wide range of environments.

The NK Series offers 3 highly flexible, yet simple and intuitive control panels that can be configured to operate as an X-Y, cut-bus or multi-cutbus panel. Every control panel in the system can be independently configured to meet the needs of the particular operator position at which it is deployed.
