Introduction  
The Extron ECP 1000 event control panel attaches to as many as  
ECP 1000 Event Control Panel  
three Extron SGS 408 seamless switchers to provide complete  
control of multiple screens in large staging applications. The  
ECP 1000 allows you to create simultaneous or synchronous  
wipes, dissolves, fades, and cuts on any combination of the  
attached screens.  
The ECP 1000 includes pre-programmed effects that are  
available at the touch of a single button. In addition, the  
SGS 408 Control Program for Windows allows you to select  
effects for each screen so you can create your own preset series  
of effects.  
Features  
Pre-programmed effects — The effect buttons initiate multi-  
screen effects. There are 40 user-programmable presets,  
30 of which are pre-programmed at the factory. The  
SGS 408 Control Program for Windows allows you to  
overwrite all preset button settings.  
Show sequencing — Using the SGS 408 Control Program for  
Windows, you can create a series of effects that are  
initiated sequentially at the touch of a single effect  
selection button.  
Chapter Two

Button label software — Some buttons are labeled with a  
pictorial example of their associated effects. You can  
create labels for unlabeled buttons, or you can replace  
existing labels to match any changes you have made to  
button assignments.  
Installation  
Effect selection buttons — These buttons allow you to create  
wipes, dissolves, and title effects.  
Screen selection buttons — These buttons allow you to choose

the screen or screens on which an effect will appear.  
Duration adjustment — This control allows you to specify the  
length of time in which each effect occurs.  
T-bar controller — This control allows you to manually control  
the speed of a transition.

• The ECP 1000 detects the number of SGS 408 units that are  
connected.  
• The buttons that are programmed to work with the number of  
connected SGS 408 units become backlit. For example, if  
SGS 408 units are attached to SGS ports 1 and 3, all screen  
effect buttons that are programmed to work with 1 or 2  
screens become backlit, as do screen selection buttons 1  
and 3.  
The names “one-screen”, “two-screen”, and “three-  
screen” are not absolutes. You can program a one-screen  
effect into a three-screen effect button. The names are  
used only to identify the particular set of buttons.  
Soft edge button — Allows you to select whether single-  
dimension wipes will have hard or soft edges.

Do one of the following:  
To program the ECP 1000, use the SGS 408 Control  
Program. See chapter 4 for information. When you  
are finished using the program, press the Menu  
button. The default screen appears.  
You can select a screen selection only if it is backlit.

Press the Take button. The dissolving switch begins  
immediately and is finished in the time specified by the  
duration, and the preview image becomes the new  
program image.  
Applying a Switch  
You can switch displays using a variety of techniques. For a  
description of each technique, see the instructions for the  
technique in this section.  
Applying a title  
A title can have two effects: window or key. The actual effect is  
determined by the ECP title setting on the SGS 408 (see chapter  
Applying a cut  
3 of the SGS 408 User’s Manual).  
A cut seamlessly replaces the program image with the preview  
image. No effect is applied to the switch. As soon as the Take  
button is pressed, the switch occurs.  
A title window causes a predefined box in the program image to  
dissolve to reveal the preview image (figure 3-7). The effect is  
as if the preview image were located behind the program  
image, and a window in the program image opens to show the  
preview image.  
To switch using a cut, do the following:  
1.  
2.  
Press the Cut button.  
Press the screen selection buttons that correspond to the  
screens you want to switch. For example, if you want to  
apply the cut to screen 2, press screen selection button 2. If  
you want to apply the cut to screens 1 and 3, press screen  
selection buttons 1 and 3.  
Figure 3-7 — A title window effect example  
You can select a screen selection only if it is backlit.  
3.  
Press the Take button. The seamless switch takes effect

Applying a wipe  
To apply a wipe, do the following:  
During a wipe, you can reverse the direction of the  
wipe (in effect, “unwipe” the program image) by  
reversing the direction of the T-bar control. This is  
true until the T-bar reaches the end point of the T-bar  
slot, in which case the effect is considered completed.  
1.  
Press the effect button that is programmed to perform the  
wipe you want.  
2.  
If this is the first time any effect has been selected since the  
ECP 1000 was first installed or since a system reset was  
performed, the number of screen selection buttons that  
light will be based on the type of wipe that was selected.  
For example, if you press a two-screen effect button, screen  
selection buttons 1 and 2 light.  
If this is not the first time any effect has been selected since  
the ECP 1000 was first installed or since a system reset was  
performed, the screen selection buttons that were selected  
the last time an effect was applied will light.  
If you want to deselect a screen that is lit and select a  
screen that is not lit, press the button for the screen that  
you want to turn off. For example, if buttons 1 and 2 are  
lit, and you want to apply the effect to screens 1 and 3  
instead, press the 2 button. The 2 button light turns off,  
and the 3 button light turns on.  
3.  
If you want to use a duration other than the default  
duration, turn the Adjust knob until the desired duration  
appears on the LCD menu’s default screen.  
4.  
5.  
If desired, press the Soft Edge button.  
Do one of the following.  
Press the Take button. The wiping switch begins  
immediately and is finished in the time specified by  
the duration. During the wipe, the LCD displays a  
percentage count (1 – 100) as the effect is completed  
(figure 3-12). The former preview image is now the  
new program image.

Control Software for Windows  
The SGS 408 Control Program (Extron part number 29-049-01) ,  
which is used to configure the ECP 1000, is compatible with  
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. It allows you to do the  
following:  
• Assign an effect to a user-programmable effect button.  
• Overwrite the effect assigned to either a pre-programmed  
effect button or a user-programmable effect button.  
• Print new keycap labels for reprogrammed effect buttons.  
• Create a series of effects that are initiated sequentially at the  
touch of a single effect button.  
The SGS 408 Control Program is the only method you  
can use to program the ECP 1000. RS-232 commands  
are not available.
