Remote Control Panel RSAT11. General
2Operating Instructions - Rev. 1 / 11.2001
The programmable memory of the RSAT2 is part of the DD35. Thus the program-
med function set for the RSAT2 buttons can be switched from application to appli-
cation. More complex button sequences can be achieved by programmed recall of
macro buttons of the DD35 main panel.
The standard unit is equipped with 1x reconfigurable 9 Pin D-Sub interface for con-
nection to a host processor. Without further options the factory configuration is a
RS-422/485 port for direct connection to DD35’s panel controller.

4. OPERATION
4.1 HOW TO START THE REMOTE PANEL
To start the protocol for the panel use the sidepanel menu. Step into the Install /
Panel / Satpanel menu and select the port number and the type of the protocol.
Fig. 10: DD35 install menu
After that the signal light of the remote panel has to be out. If it so, the panel is alive.
But if you do not have a macro file in your appli_cp.ini file the satellite panel will
be without any function. To add now the filename into the appli_cp.ini use the file
transfer program FTP to get the current appli_cp.ini and insert at the
[SAT_PANEL] under
filename = ”....”
the filename of the macro including the whole path.
E.g. filename = ”/flash/satpanel/me3_crs.sat”.
After the modification of the appli_cp.ini copy the file via FTP back into the mixer.
Now you should see the new function on the satellite panel.
After each new boot the file will be started automatically.

4.2 HOW TO LEARN A NEW FUNCTION
The learn mode is activated by pressing the two buttons left and right of the big (16
character) display simultaneously.
Press the buttons simulaneously
Fig. 11: Learn mode buttons
The message L e a r n i n g . . . will appear in the display. The
learn mode is deactivated the same way as it is activated (by pressing the two but-
tons).
The message “Learning ...”will disappear then.
Es ist sinnvoll erst ein vorhandenes Macro zu laden und dann dieses mit Learn ab-
zuändern! Im Learn–Mode ohne vorhandenes Macro steht die Delegation nicht zu
Verfügung. Delegation kann nicht gelernt werden!!Der Learn–Mode wird für die je-
weils aktive Gruppe (Delegation) aufgerufen.Bei Learn–Mode in der Present–Tas-
tenreihe wird die Program–Tastenreihe nicht automatisch mitgezogen, sondern
mußseperat gelernt werden!
4.2.1 Learning buttons
Alle Kreuzschienennamen wurden übernommen.
Wenn man Buttons ohne Display auf Buttons mit Display legt bleibt das Display
dunkel.
Ensure that you are in learn mode.
Press the desired button on the panel and hold it down.
Press the desired button on the DD35 control panel and then release it.

4.2.2 Learning digipots
Turn simultaneously two digipots, one on the panel, the other one on the control
panel.
Keep in mind that the space between the digipots on the panel is very narrow
so you probably might have turned more than one digipot (“fat fingers”problem)
and the result of the learning is not what you have expected (the last digipots
“wins”).
Die Diaplays der Digipots werden auch umgelegt.
4.2.3 Learning faders
Move simultaneously two faders, the one and only on the panel and one of the
5 faders of the control panel.
4.3 WHAT CAN BE LEARNED
Interactively all faders and digipots can be learned. As for the buttons, the delega-
tion buttons (the key1, key2 .. buttons in the keyers groups, the second/third but-
tons in the xbars, the Me1Wipe1,.. DVE2 buttons in the wipe group, the 2nd/rot/
user buttons (also wipe group), the arrow buttons in mask and matte group and all
that kind of buttons can NOT be learned).
All other buttons can be.
Displays and underfloor lamps can only be learned by using a setup file.
Note:
Due to the fact that all the functions of the RSAT2 panel can be learned no button
inlays are supplied. They can be easily be made in a do-i-you-self fashion. Printing
on foil e.g. with a laser printer. Foil thickness max. 200 mm.
