For any master control environment, the user-interface is highly critical. The key criteria are simplicity, flexibility, and ease-to-use. The EMC-DCP desktop control panel features assignable control buttons, using a combination of fixed and dynamic LCD buttons. The multi-colored LCD buttons are capable of displaying multiple lines of text or graphics. The EMC-DCP is integral in the complete "turn key" solution Evertz offers for master control.

The base panel features 98 buttons and 5 shaft encoders. Using configurable menus, the EMC-DCP allows the operator access to the full capability of the EMC. There are pluggable modules for further customization. The 4.3" LCD screen and additional LCD buttons expand the EMC-DCP's functionality. The EMC-DCP is the all-in-one control surface for master control.

Preset & program bus select buttons use a quiet tactile button and a shared LCD display for source labeling. Buttons are available for dedicated key, DVE, logo and voice-over levels. Transition types and speeds can be also assigned to the tactile buttons. The other LCD buttons (with up to 255 different colors) offer 10 character displays for complete customization of the EMC-DCP. Facilities can customize the EMC-DCP to suit their needs.
