Overview
The MKS-R4020/MKS-E1620 is a remote control panel that
connects to Live Element Orchestrator (LEO) and is used to
change system configuration, register devices, and
configure device settings. The MKS-R4020 can also
connect to a PWS-100NM1/110NM1 running IP Live System
Manager (system controller) to switch the routing of video
signals and audio signals. You can use the selection
buttons on this unit to switch the source/destination of
signals of Networked Media Interface devices or to switch
the source/destination of a routing switcher.
Features
Large buttons that display functions in different
colors
Employs large LCD buttons on the front panel designed for
easy operation.
The color and brightness of LCD buttons can be configured
so that the button function and the current selection status
are visible at a glance.
You can set the button color and brightness in the web
menu to suit the operating environment to make the
buttons more visible.
Self-diagnostics function
The unit automatically performs self-diagnostics, such as
communications status checks. The diagnostics results
appear in the display window.
System redundancy support
The unit features dual power supplies and networks to
support system redundancy.
LEO/NS-BUS control support (MKS-R4020)
The MKS-R4020 supports two operating modes: “LEO
operation” where it connects to LEO to control the setup
and operation of each device, and “NS-BUS operation”
where it connects to a system controller to control the
routing of video and audio signals.
LCD buttons used for selecting both sources and
destinations (NS-BUS operation)
All LCD buttons on the front panel can be used as source
selection buttons or destination selection buttons
according to settings in the web menu. The current setting
can be easily discerned by the color of the button when lit.
Controllable up to 128 levels1) (NS-BUS operation)
Up to 128-level (128 signals) control is supported using
settings configured using the web menu.
1) Levels
To handle different kinds of signals simultaneously, it is
necessary to use a routing switcher for each type of signal. For
example, a recording to be made on a VTR requires the use of
five signal levels: video, audio 1, audio 2, timecode and remote
control signals. These are collectively referred to as levels.
Different sources for each level are selectable (NS-
BUS operation)
You can select and display different sources for each level
using the breakaway function.
Monitor function to watch the selection status of
other outputs (NS-BUS operation)
When a destination you wish to monitor is set as a monitor
destination, the source automatically switches to the same
source as the monitor destination when the monitor
function is set to ON.
Switching between two sources alternately (chop
function) (NS-BUS operation)
The chop function switches between two sources
alternately at a specified interval automatically.
Switching of multiple crosspoints using a single
operation (salvo function) (NS-BUS operation)
When multiple crosspoints have been selected and a salvo
is defined beforehand using the web menu, all the
crosspoints set for the salvo can be switched by pressing
one button.
Display window for each LCD button (NS-BUS
operation)
The LCD buttons themselves are display windows. Each
LCD button has a 2-line, 8-character display window. The
source name is displayed in the display window of source
selection buttons, and the destination name is displayed
in the display window of destination selection buttons.
Status display function (NS-BUS operation)
The currently selected source name, destination name,
and any error messages are displayed.
Connection Mode Settings
The remote control panel supports three connection
modes for operation.
The MKS-E1620 supports LEO connection mode only. The
MKS-R4020 supports LEO connection mode, NS-BUS
connection mode, and Hybrid connection mode.
LEO connection mode
The unit connects to LEO to support LEO operation.
NS-BUS connection mode
The unit connects to a system controller to support NS-BUS
operation.
Hybrid connection mode
The unit connects to LEO and a system controller
simultaneously to support both LEO operation and NS-BUS
operation, and can switch operation.
LEO operation
The unit communicates with LEO to configure and control
each device connected to LEO.
In LEO operating mode, all settings for the LCD buttons and
rotary encoders of the remote control panel are made from
LEO.

4
NS-BUS operation

You can switch multiple crosspoints by pressing a single
selection button configured beforehand in the web menu.
This is called the salvo function.
The unit supports local salvo and snapshot salvo.
Local salvo
This salvo is managed by the remote control panel. It
supports crosspoint switching that is unrelated to the
control destination and switching using a destination
offset local salvo. Up to 64 crosspoints can be set for a
button.
Snapshot salvo
This salvo is managed by a system controller. It is used to
perform salvo switching common to two or more remote
panels.
Destination offset local salvo
A destination offset local salvo switches a destination
calculated by adding an offset value to the control
destination. For example, if the control destination is 0015
and the offset value is 2, the crosspoint for destination
0017 is switched.
The following usage is supported by a destination offset
local salvo.
Example 1
To assign a source (audio source 0007, for example) of a
level to multiple sources of another level (video sources
0001 and 0005, for example)
Example 2
To set a pair of crosspoints (multiple audio channels, video
key signal, for example)
Executing a salvo
1Set the control destination as the base destination
as described in
“Switching the control destination”
(page 8)
.
This is not required if the salvo does not include a
destination offset local salvo.
2Assign a salvo to a source in the web menu as
described in
“Salvo Table Page” (page 16) .
