1. Product Overview
The RMC-260 is a cost effective controller designed specifically for the SE-1200MU Digital Video
Switcher. The RMC-260 interfaces with the SE-1200MU via an RS-232 interface.
The RMC-260 is designed to be a user switcher-style controller to allow easy & quick control SE-
1200MU, with hard keys for the main switcher functions and on-screen menu controls for quick & easy adjustment of parameters in the field.

“Freeze” allows the user to load an image to Inputs 1-6 from one of the four sources listed as follows:
• Clip
• Still
• Freeze
• Live
Crosspoint
Crosspoint gives the user the ability to shuffle the contents between Inputs 1-6. In other words, the user will be able to assign any of the sources of Inputs 1-6 to the 6 input buttons (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) of the
Program and Preset rows as desired.

In general, there are three output ports (SDI 1, SDI 2 and HDMI) available, which can be configured to output one of the following:
• Input 6
• Input 5
• Input 4
• Input 3
• Input 2
• Input 1
• CLN PVW (Clean PVW)
• CLN PGM (Clean PGM)
• PG + DSK
• PVW
• PGM
• MultiV (Multi view)
MultiV
1080P
On
In addition to selecting your output source, you are also allowed to set two different resolutions to the
HDMI output port. The two available resolutions are 1080i and 1080p.
Please note that when HDMI OUT is set to 1080i, image will be enlarged on the DELL 24” monitor (Wide
Mode = 1:1), exceeding the viewable screen area (overscan). In 1080p and 720p modes, image overscan and shifts are seen on BENQ 37”/SONY 42” TV.
Audio
The Audio sub-option for the SDI and HDMI outputs allows the user to individually turn ON/OFF the embedded audio component at the SDI1-out, SDI2-out and HDMI-out.
Mode (On/Off): The SE-1200MU can only accept external audio using the analogue XLR inputs on the rear panel. Ideally a master audio mixer would be used alongside the SE-1200MU. A Datavideo AM-100 or AD-200 could be considered. By changing the Audio sub option from ON to OFF will mute the incoming XLR audio from the external master audio mixer.
Level (EBU/SMPTE/AUTO): There are two different audio standards available for selection. The user can either select the EBU or SMPTE standard. By selecting AUTO allows the device to automatically detect the audio standard.
22
GPI Out
This allows the user to perform GPI configuration. After turning on the GPI, select the GPI mode, which is either level or pulse. The pulse width can also be configured in the sub-option Width (1-9). GPI out can then be assigned to one of Inputs 1-6 and the delay can be set to between 1 and 99. This feature could be used to trigger playback from an external playback device such as Datavideo’s NVP-20 or HRS-30 unit.
Multiviewer
AutoNum: The Multiview windows can be automatically numbered, and this sub-option turns ON/OFF automatic numbering.
Label Inf: This sub-option turns ON/OFF Label information. Input label is followed by information which describes the input as still, live or frozen image.
Trns Lab: This sub-option turns ON/OFF Label Transparency. Once enabled, the background of the label is then turned from a solid colour to transparent.
4.8 Stills
Still allows the user to load images from the memory, save images to the memory, and save the images captured.

8. Frequently-Asked Questions
This section describes problems that you may encounter while using the RMC-260. If you have questions, please refer to related sections and follow all the suggested solutions. If problem still exists, please contact your distributor or the service center.
1. My PC Control Panel UI cannot work with the RMC-260.
The RMC-260 has to work with the PC Control Panel UI of the version SE-1200MU V1.2.0.7 or above.
2. While SE-1200MU is ON, loss of connection between SE-1200MU and RMC-260 is experienced after hot plugging RS-232 connection repeatedly.
Loss of connection does not usually occur when hot plugging RS-232 connection repeatedly, however, after 5 to 6 times, connection might still be lost; wait for approximately 72 seconds, and the connection will be re-established.
