Introduction
Although slave units must be given a unique address
(1 – 64) within a system, redundant units can be set up to
allow identical control from more than one location.
About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron MCP 1000
master and slave remote control panels — the MCP 1000M and
the MCP 1000S — and provides information on how to operate
and configure them.
Features
In this manual, "MCP 1000" is used to refer to either unit. The
terms "master," "slave," "MCP 1000M," and "MCP 1000S" are
used to refer specifically to one unit or the other.

About the MCP 1000
The MCP 1000 is a multipurpose control panel that can be part
of an A/V presentations system, or dedicated to controlling a
particular Extron device.
Includes brackets for rack, table, or shelf mounting.
Enclosure is 1U high and 5.0" deep.
There are two versions of the MCP 1000:
LCD panel displays the function name and number.

MCP 1000M (Master), which includes an RS-232 port and
comm-link voltage

•
MCP 1000S (Slave), which has neither an RS-232 port nor
The first four buttons on the left are used during setup. During
normal operation, however, they function the same as the other
12 buttons — as program or selection buttons. The MCP 1000
can be a control panel for many Extron products.
comm-link voltage
A master can also function as a slave, if necessary.
The MCP 1000M can control any Extron SW switcher, system
switcher, or matrix switcher that uses Extron’s Simple
Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
The master MCP 1000M is preprogrammed with SIS commands
in several categories. After the unit has been configured for
an application, appropriate SIS commands are issued when
a button is pressed. Such commands include selecting an
input number, a preset number, or a room preset number. For
example, if the unit is set up to work with a matrix switcher
as output 5 to handle inputs 1 through 16, pressing MCP 1000
panel button 9 selects (ties) input 9 to output 5. See chapter 3,
"Operation," for detailed examples with illustrations.
The MCP 1000 features one-button crosspoint operation and
one-button operation per preset for global and room presets.
An MCP 1000M can receive RS-232 commands from a host
computer and can send them to a device that accepts Extron’s
SIS commands. It can also receive signals on the comm-link
port, translate them to SIS commands, and send them to a
matrix switcher or simple switcher.
A slave MCP 1000 uses a 5-pole, 5 mm comm-link connection
to communicate with either an MCP 1000 master or a
Matrix 3200/6400 switching system. This application can
include up to 64 units mixed with MCP 1000 panels and
MKP 1000 keypads.
Any MCP 1000S slave unit connected to a master communicates
through the comm-link ports. The master unit receives the
comm-link command from a slave, translates it to an SIS
command, and sends it out through the RS-232 port to the
device being controlled.
The MCP operating modes include:
•
Remote switching control for an Extron switcher or a
matrix switcher (with MCP 1000 master only)
Mounting options
The MCP 1000 comes with a set of brackets for mounting the
unit on a rack, or under or through a shelf, table, or podium.
MCP 1000 panels can be located in various places throughout a
business or educational complex.
•

•
Input selection for a switcher
Global presets (with matrix switchers)
Room presets (with Matrix 3200/6400 only).

Introduction, cont’d
MCP 1000 as part of a Matrix 3200/6400 system
MCP 1000 Remote Control Panel
When used with an Extron Matrix 3200/6400 switcher, the
MCP 1000 has the same functions as the MKP 1000 Remote
Keypad. For this type of installation, the MCP 1000 panels are
hard-wired to a Matrix 3200/6400 switcher, and they can be
mixed with MKP 1000 keypads. For additional information,
see the MKP 1000 User’s Manual. As with the MKP 1000, the
status of MCP 1000 units can be displayed on the front panel
(FPC 1000) of the Matrix 3200/6400.

Using the Button Label Generator
The maximum number of MKP 1000 and MCP 1000 units in one
system is 64.
Through the comm-link port, an MCP 1000M (master) unit
supplies voltage to MKP 1000 units. Matrix 3200/6400 BMEs
(Basic Module Enclosures) also supply voltage through the
comm-link ports for MKP 1000s.
Damage may occur if more than one voltage source
is connected to a system. See page "Comm-link

Installation
Mounting instructions
Mounting the MCP 1000
Follow these steps to rack mount the MCP 1000:
The MCP is 1U high by 17.5" wide by 5" deep. It can be placed
on a table or other furniture, or it can be mounted in a rack
using mounting brackets (“rack ears”).
1.
Attach the mounting brackets to the unit using eight of the
machine screws supplied with the mounting kit.
2. Insert the unit into the rack and align the holes in the
mounting brackets with the holes in the rack. Use four of
the supplied machine screws to attach the brackets to the
rack.
Tabletop use
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the MCP 1000.
For tabletop use, attach one foot to each corner of the bottom
side of the unit and place the MCP in the desired location.
Rack mounting
The MCP can optionally be mounted in a rack with the supplied
MBD 149 rack mounting kit (part #70-077-03).
UL requirements
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements
pertain to the installation of the MCP 1000 into or onto a rack.
1.
Elevated operating ambient — If the equipment is
installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider
installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified
by the manufacturer.

4.
Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Rack mounting the MCP 1000
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Rear Panel Connections
There are many ways to connect the MCP 1000 to other
products. However, there are two general applications:
one using RS-232, and the other using the comm-link port.
In some applications, both of these connectors are used.
Chapter 3, "Operations," includes illustrated examples of several
applications.
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on
over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
5.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing
of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as
the use of power strips).

Using normal Windows controls, you can create and print
labels that can be placed in the button panel inserts on the
MCP 1000 front panel.
Replacing a button label
You can print labels on transparent or translucent material, and
then cut them from a sheet. Also, see the colored
button caps listed in the parts list in the appendix.
For more information about using the program, you can access
the Button Label Generator online help by selecting Show Help
from the Help menu on the main screen.
Using the Button Label Generator
Installing the software
The program is provided on a CD-ROM, and you can run it
from the CD drive. However, it is usually more convenient to
load and run the program from the hard drive.
To install the Button Label Generator program from the CD-
ROM to the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the CD and
follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program
occupies approximately 0.5 MB of hard-drive space.
By default, the Windows installation program creates a
C:\BUTTONS directory, and it places an icon (Button-Label
Generator) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics.”
Using the software
1.
To start the Button Label Generator program, double-click
on the Button Label Generator icon (shown at the left) in
the Extron Electronics group or folder, and click OK when
prompted.
2.
Under System selection, choose MCP 1000. The Extron’s
Button Label Generator window appears (see the figure on
the next page).

Master applications (RS-232)
For each configuration, a master sends out a specific SIS
command for each button that is pressed. If the master has
any slaves attached by comm-link, the master translates the
comm-link signals to SIS commands and sends them to the
device being controlled. The following examples include the
SIS command, in which i is the input number, o is the output
number, and p is the preset number.

A slave unit has no RS-232 port; it communicates through
the comm-link ports. This allows it to be used in a
Matrix 3200/6400 system, either as a single control panel or with
other MCP 1000 and MKP 1000 units.
MCP 1000
MCP 1000M, MCP 1000S, and System 10 Plus
Output (matrix) — SIS command: i*o!
An MCP 1000S must always connect to an MCP 1000M or to a
Matrix 3200/6400 BME. See "Output (matrix) — SIS command:
i*o!" and "Preset (matrix) — SIS command: p.", earlier in this
chapter, for two examples of slave units used with a master unit.
Depending on the size of the matrix switcher, the MCP 1000 can
be set up for one of 64 output numbers. In output mode, an
MCP 1000 acts like a switcher for a specific output number on
the matrix. For example, if the MCP 1000 is set up for output 5
and panel button 3 is pressed, the matrix ties input 3 to output 5.
A slave sends signals by comm-link to the MCP 1000M or BME.
An MCP 1000M translates those signals to SIS commands and
sends them to the controlled device. A master BME sends
control signals to the appropriate BMEs in the Matrix 3200/6400
system.
Preset (matrix) — SIS command: p.
A preset is a set of ties, inputs to outputs, that has been made
and stored previously. Depending on the size of the matrix
switcher, the MCP 1000 can be set up for presets 1 through 16,
or 17 through 32. Pressing an MCP button recalls (activates) a
preset in the matrix.
Daisy-chain configuration
A daisy-chain configuration saves cable by allowing signals
from units that are far away to be passed serially through units
that are near the master unit. MCP 1000 and MKP 1000 units
can be mixed in the same configuration.

The function of each panel button depends on the mode and the
Setting Up the Operation Mode
Review the application examples for the mode in which your
assigned range. In a permanent installation, the panel button
caps can be removed, and a paper or plastic insert can be placed
inside to display text or an icon that represents the button’s
function. See chapter 2, "Installation," for information about
removing the button caps and printing button labels.
MCP 1000 will be used, and then set up the unit following the
flow charts at the end of this chapter.
The following sections describe how the front panel operates.
LCD display
Preset mode
Before using the panel buttons and LCD menus, read the
following descriptions.
If the MCP 1000 is configured as a preset selector, the preset
range is displayed. For example, if presets 17 through 32 are set,
the first front panel button on the left corresponds to preset 17,
and the first button on the right corresponds to preset 32. In this
case, if the MCP 1000 is in preset mode and is set up to work
with a matrix switcher, pressing button 3 on the MCP 1000 loads
(activates) preset 19.
Title screen display
When the MCP 1000 is powered up and
operational, a title screen appears in the
LCD display. If view mode is off, the
product name appears. If view mode is on,
a title indicates the operation mode. The
example on the right shows output 3. If
the MCP 1000 is configured as a room or as
an output device, then the selected room
number or output number is also displayed.
In preset mode, the preset range numbers
are also displayed.

In switcher mode, each button selects an input. For example, if
the MCP 1000 is controlling a System 10 Plus, pressing buttons
11 through 16 results in an error display on the LCD panel. If a
switcher has a breakaway feature, an MCP 1000 can be set up to
switch audio only, video only, or both audio and video. See the
examples on pages 3-3 and 3-4.

SWITCHER
Output mode is like switcher mode, but for a specific output
number on a matrix switcher. The assigned output number is
displayed on the LCD panel. The MCP 1000 has 16 function
buttons. If the matrix has more than 16 inputs, a set of 16
inputs must also be assigned. For example, if the MCP 1000 is
set up to represent output 3 with inputs 1 through 16, pressing
button 9 on the MCP 1000 panel selects (ties) input 9 to output 3.
Another MCP 1000 can be set up to represent output 3 with
inputs 17 through 32. A large matrix system such as this can
have many MCP 1000s attached.

Left-right selection arrows
AUDIO
SWITCHER
During setup, some screens have graphic
arrows on the left and/or right sides of the
display. If these appear, the left and right (navigation) panel
buttons can be used to change the selection. These arrows can
be seen, for example, in the screens that allow you to change the
displayed address or to change the operating mode.
As another example, if you set the MCP 1000 to represent
output 7 with inputs 49 through 64, output 7 appears in the LCD
display. Button 1 selects input 49, button 2 selects input 50, and
button 16 selects input 64.
Using setup mode
To enter setup mode, press the two end buttons at the same
time. The LCD display changes, and the four left-most buttons
light to indicate that the MCP 1000 is in setup mode. The
markings above the four buttons (Menu, Next, W, and X) are
valid only at this time.

Room mode
Room mode is similar to output mode, in that each of the first 10
panel buttons represents a room number within a range of 10.
For example, if you set the MCP 1000 to represent room 1 with
room presets 1 through 10, Room 1 appears in the LCD display.
Button 9 selects room preset 9, button 2 selects room preset 2,
and so on. If you make a selection that is not within the range of
that device, an error message appears on the LCD display.
Setup flow charts
The MCP 1000 slave mode flow chart is on page 3-11, and the
MCP 1000 master mode flow chart is on page 3-12. On the
applicable flow chart, locate the mode in which you plan to
operate the MCP 1000.
Enter setup mode and, following the flow chart, press the
appropriate buttons to navigate through the menus and to
make the appropriate selections for your application. The LCD
display provides graphic prompts for the available choices. (See
"LCD display," earlier in this chapter.)
If necessary, you can reset the MCP 1000 to its default factory
settings. The reset command is available from the Config
Controls menu.
Each MCP 1000M and MCP 1000S must have a unique
address of 1 through 64. Slave units are polled periodically
by either the MCP 1000M or by the master BME in a
Matrix 3200/6400 system. Duplicate addresses can cause
the MCPs to lock up.
If you turned view mode on, when you exit setup mode the
LCD window displays a title screen that indicates the selected
operation mode.
