Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Datavideo’s RMC-120. RMC-120 is
one of SE-800 accessories, which can be used to remote
control SE-800 via RS-232 command with a simple, but
unique operate control interface. You will be amazed and
pleased at what you can do with this advanced piece of
technology. In order to bring out the maximum performance
of this unit, we recommend that you spend some time to read
this manual carefully.
Product Overview
RMC-120 is special designed for SE-800 control by Ethernet.
Now you can remote control shots, mix, and edit, all within
the SE-800 RS-232 protocol. RMC-120 is a simple RJ45 to
RS-232 device, featuring powerful software that allows you to
use your PC or laptop as a control center.
What is the benefit of using that? For example, you could use
it in remote areas, where could be far away from your
switcher as long as you have internet connection.
The full size control panel includes most control functions of
SE-800, which includes video selection, audio selection,
video effects, transition effects, color corrections and RGB
corrections. Also, it includes 30 user programmable macro
function keys that let you play back preset transitions and
effects instantly by clicking a single button.

1. Joystick and Joystick mode selector: The Joystick control
can function either in RGB Color Correction mode or
Position Control mode, depending on the position of the
selector below it. In RGB Correction mode, you can make
real time RGB white balance corrections to the Main
Source video. This function (white balance adjustment) is
effective only with “Input Format selection” mode. In
Position Control mode, the joystick
is used to position the selected
effect (Mosaic or Picture In Picture)
anywhere on the screen in real time.
2. Voice Sync: adjusts for audio delay
or advance from –19 to +3 frames
for the Audio Input that is fed from
the selected Video channel.
3. Input Format selectors: These buttons allow you to select
the input video format for each channel. To operate,
press the upper button to select the channel (each press
cycles the LED to the next channel),
then press the lower button to select
the proper format. Disengage the
selectors by pressing a button in
any other section on the front panel.
4. Audio Input Selectors: Controls which audio input channel
(A, B, C, and/or D) is sent to the Audio Bus “Video”
channel in SE-800. The row of selector buttons across
the top of this section has LEDs to show which input
channel is active. If the A+V function
(5.) is engaged, the source channel

9
selected on the Main Source bus is automatically
selected. If A+V is not engaged, the input source is user
selectable. Level controls for each input source are the
rotary pots below the selection buttons.
5. A+V: Audio follow video switch. When this button is
engaged (you’ll know it is engaged because the LED is
lit), the audio associated with a selected input source
automatically follows the video through the
dissolve. When the button is inactive, audio
must be switched manually.
6. Color Processor: These controls become active in
conjunction with the Input Format selector (3.). When that
control is active, you can make adjustments to the
selected channel’s brightness, contrast, color, and tint
(NTSC only) by pressing the up and down arrow buttons.
The LEDs on the left side of this section indicate relative
steps above or below unity (the signal exits the control
unchanged). Press and hold the Reset button in the
upper right for 2 seconds or more to reset the Color
Processor controls
all to unity. The
“Reset All” button
resets the color
correction and RGB
correction settings
for all 4 inputs.

7. Border: controls the border style and color for the Picture
in Picture effect. This control is accessible when the
Picture in Picture controls,
Wipe and Zoom effects. (22.)
are engaged.
8. Background: when Background is selected in either the
Main or Sub Video Source (14, 15.), and the ON button is
pressed (and the LED is lit), repeated
presses of the color button cycle
through the 8 possible solid
backgrounds.
9. Video or Audio: selects the T-Bar operating mode of the
SE-800, between Video (default). (Audio mode is not
working at this moment.)
10. GPI (General Purpose
Interface) function: ON/OFF,
allow RMC-90 to trigger
other GPI devices.
11. PLAY: Play memorized
function key from F1 to F30
in sequence.
12. TAKE: Switch the video or audio source setting from one
to another.
13. T-Bar: used to manually perform a transition.

11
14. Main Video Source Selector: used to select which of the
four video input channels or
background is sent to the Main
video output.
15. Sub Video Source Selector: used to select which of the
four video input channels or
background will be transitioned
to or used as a sub source in
an effect.
16. Chroma Key: when engaged, this removes the selected
color from the Main Video Source and reveals the
corresponding portions of the Sub Video Source.
Repeated presses of the Color up and down buttons
selects the color to be removed. Repeated
presses of the Level up and down buttons
sets how much of the color will be
removed. Color and level information are
displayed in the windows above the
Keypad (21.)
17. Preset selectors: control the 30 user programmable
preset locations for storing
customized effects and
transitions.
18. Picture in Picture: puts the selected Sub Video
Source in a window on the Main Video Source,
with control over window size and placement.
Used in conjunction with the Border keys (7.)

12
19. Paint: when engaged (and the Paint LED is lit), this
applies a posterized effect to the selected Main Video
Source. Repeated presses of the up and down
buttons set the intensity level of the effect, from
1 (least) to 4 (most). The level setting is
displayed in the Effects window above the
Keypad (21.).
20. Mosaic: when engaged (and the Mosaic LED is lit), this
turns the selected Main Source Video into a mosaic of
colored squares. There are 8 mosaic patterns to choose
from, selected by repeated presses of the up
and down buttons. The effect can be applied to
the whole image or one of two window sizes by
select PIP effect (18.) You can also use Joystick
(1.) mode to place the mosaic window in
anywhere on the screen.
21. Keypad: used to enter numerical data that
controls effects or transitions. The Effects
and Speed windows above the Keypad
display parameter information for the
selected effect or transition.
22. Transition selectors: These five selection buttons
determine the transition type and allow for the
selection of certain effects that are performed on
the selected Main Video Input channel. The
Take-button executes an auto play.

13
23. Audio Bus selectors: the LEDs indicate which of the audio
inputs are active in the Main audio output mix. Press the
button to either include or exclude the channel. The left
button, labeled Mic/Aux, can be
set to either Mic, Aux, or off.
Above all are basic functions descriptions. For more detail
