Operator Control Panel (OCP)
The Operator Control Pane is a mid-sized desktop controller that provides instant audio or video playback and control for broadcast automation, post production and other applications. This panel gives operators a choice in controlling automation environments by providing unambiguous button control in addition to conventional keyboard and mouse operations.

Panel Functions
The OCP comes with 24, hi-res, remotely-relegendable 64 x 32 LCD buttons, 10 bank buttons, and 17 additional function and navigation switches. The hi-res LCD buttons can display text (up to 40 characters) and graphics using built in command driven serial interfaces. They integrate a graphical LCD with RGB backlighting, and are capable of displaying up to 64 colors. Software controls the interface, display and backlighting. Data only needs to be transmitted when a change is made to the display or background colors. These LCD buttons can be programmed to provide a range of functions. Most commonly used when breakdowns or other failures occur, each button on the OCP can call up actions needed in a hurry. For example, a button can be configured to:

Cut back to Network, or even backup device with a ready content. Display a full-screen apology slide or trigger a caption for missing audio.

Rackmounting

Rackmounting
The Device Controller Package
Device Controller(s) are rack mountable devices and ship with rack rails. Transfer switches, relay panels, GPI breakouts, network hub(s) and keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switch are supplied with rack mount ears for easy installation.

Mounting Hints

17 monitors come standard with the Harris system. If you require smaller or larger monitors, this must be specified at the time of the order. Mount the 8-port relay panels and GPI breakouts in the back of the rack. The relay panels are connected to the transfer switch or to the cloning panel if cloning has been ordered as an option. Your Device Controller comes with a rack size keyboard, ideal for storage in a keyboard drawer. However, both the keyboard drawer and rack mount kits for monitors and client PCs must be purchased separately if needed. Appropriate power cords are provided for all equipment. If any, or all, of the power cords supplied with the system are incorrect, contact Harris Automation for assistance. While most, if not all, equipment is equipped with auto sensing power supplies, it is essential that care be taken to ensure that any line voltage settings present are properly set prior to applying power to any equipment.

Rackmounting Sequence
Install your Device Controller(s), transfer switch, keyboard/video/mouse switch, Application/File Server(s) and network hub in the same rack, or in adjacent racks. This rack should also contain an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for your Device Controller(s). We recommend installing the equipment in a least used to most used configuration from the top of the rack to the bottom, with user controls conveniently placed. If this configuration is followed, system components are installed from the top to the bottom of the rack in this order:

Application/File Server (Installation and setup of this sever are addressed under separate documentation.) Network hub(s) Monitor
