Once the user has set the desired parameters, the user will select the “Save and Exit” button in the Top
Row to save the settings and revert the panel back to its normal operating mode.

For Mini Master Control users, please continue to section 3.9. For QMC-2 users, continue to the next
section (section 3.8).

3.8. SETTING UP ETHERNET CONTROL USING EMC SETUP

Once the EMC-DCP has been setup, the user must now configure the rest of the EMC system to see
the panel. This is done using the QMCSetup (or newer EMCSetup) software tool. The user will first set
an IP address for the EMC channel and configure the EMC to send Q-Link packets over Ethernet
(select checkbox). The settings are found under the Ports Tab of the EMC channel configuration (see
Figure 3-12). The user MUST enter an IP address that is on the same network as the EMC-DCP.

Figure 3-12: Setting IP Address of EMC using QMCSetup v4.00+

After setting this parameter, the EMC will be able to communicate to the EMC-DCP (and other Ethernet
enabled control panels) over Ethernet.

Page 14 Revision 1.1

 EMC-DCP
EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL

Next, the user will configure the EMC-DCP to use Ethernet. The procedure for adding the EMC-DCP is
similar to any other QMC-2 control panel. Under the EMC-DCP configuration, the user must set the Q-
Link address (matches the one set on the EMC-DCP in section 3.6) and then select the “Ethernet
instead of Qlink” option. The user can now enter the IP address (set in section 3.6) into the IP Address
field.

Next, the user must set the EMC IP address. Connect a serial cable from a PC to the EMC front serial
connector. Open the EMCSetup software tool and navigate to the Network menu in the top toolbar.

3.9. TESTING EMC-DCP SETUP

To test the configurations, the user should connect a PC to the same network as the 3025EMC or
QMC-2 or 9625SW and EMC-DCP. The user should then PING each the 3025EMC or QMC-2 or
9625SW and EMC-DCP. If there are replies, then the connections are correct. If there are no replies,
check the IP addresses and Ethernet connections of the 3025EMC or QMC-2 or9625SW and EMC-
DCP.

For 3025EMC or QMC-2 users, the next0 step is to check the Q-Link ID. If the Q-Link ID was set
correctly, the panel will display the button configuration set by the user using the QMCSetup software.
If not, the panel may report No Q-Link Comms. The user should check the Q-Link ID on the EMC-DCP
and on the EMC Setup configuration file.

3.10. EMC-DCP LAYOUT FOR PKG9625SW AND PKGHD9625SW USERS

Unlike the QMC-2, the PKG9625SW or PKGHD9625SW does not allow for user configurable EMC-
DCP panel layouts. The EMC-DCP only comes in one layout. The EMC-DCP layout for PKG9625SW
or PKGHD9625SW is shown in Figure 3-16.

3.11. UPGRADING THE EMC-DCP FIRMWARE USING A USB

In order to upgrade the firmware on the EMC-DCP, the user will need to download the latest EMC-DCP
firmware from the Evertz website (www.evertz.com). The firmware should be transfer onto a USB 2.0
memory stick (onto the top level/root directory). The USB 2.0 memory stick is then plugged into any of
the USB ports on the EMC-DCP (see Figure 3-5).

The user will be required to enter the Update Mode of the EMC-DCP, which can be accessed directly
on the panel. Figure 3-17 shows which shaft encoders (2 and 5) the user MUST push AND
simultaneously hold down for 10 seconds, in order to enter Update Mode.

 The shaft encoders used to enter Update Mode are DIFFERENT than the ones
used to enter Setup Mode in section 3.7.

Figure 3-17: Getting into Update Mode on the EMC-DCP

Revision 1.1 Page 21

EMC-DCP
EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL

Once in Update Mode, the panel will appear as shown in Figure 3-18. To exit Update Mode, press the
“Exit Update” button. This will take the user back to the normal panel operations.

Figure 3-18: Update Mode of the EMC-DCP

The user will see the current firmware in the third row of LCD buttons. The VFD Display 1 will show the
firmware versions found on the USB 2.0 Memory stick that is plugged into the EMC-DCP. The user will
use the “Refresh” button to update the list. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to scroll the list of available
firmware and scroll to the desired firmware release. VFD Display 2 will show the selected firmware. To
start the update, press the “Start” button.

Once the “Start” button is selected, the panel will switch to a confirmation state, as shown in Figure
3-19.

 EMC-DCP
EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL

Figure 3-19: Confirmation of the Upgrade

In the confirmation mode, the VFD Display 1 will indicate whether the firmware selected by the user is
valid. If the message displayed is not “Update OK”, then the selected firmware on the USB memory
stick was found to be corrupt. The user should exit the Update Mode, download the firmware again,
and repeat the instructions outlined in this section. If the message is “Update OK”, the user will need to
select “Yes” to begin the upgrade of the firmware. If the user does not want to install the firmware,
select “No”, and they will be returned to Update Mode (see Figure 3-18).

If the user selected “Yes”, the EMC-DCP will proceed to install the new update. This will include a
panel reset. The process should take about 5 minutes to complete.

3.12. UPGRADING THE EMC-DCP FIRMWARE OVER THE NETWORK

If the EMC-DCP panel is available on the configuration PC over the network, then the EMC-DCP can
also be updated via the network.

To do this you need to connect to the EMC-DCP webpage using the Mozilla Firefox web browser. To
confirm that the configuration PC is able to connect to the EMC-DCP simply enter the IP address of the
EMC-DCP (either NIC A or NIC B).

Figure 3-20: EMC-DCP Webpage

To access the upgrade webpage for the EMC-DCP, simply add a “/upgrade” to the IP address.

Figure 3-21: EMC-DCP Upgrade Webpage

Page 24 Revision 1.1

 EMC-DCP
EMC DESKTOP CONTROL PANEL

From the upgrade webpage, click “Browse” to navigate to the location of the “.efp” file that you need to
install. Note that there are two different file types. If the EMC-DCP is to be used with a QMC-2/3025
system then the “emcdcp-update-x.x.x.x.efp” upgrade file must be used. If the EMC-DCP is to be used
with a PKG9625SW system then the “emcdcp-switcher-update-x.x.x.x.efp” upgrade file must be used.

When the appropriate upgrade file has been selected, click “Install”. The result of the upgrade process
will be shown at the bottom of the page under the status header.

To complete the install process click “Reboot” to reboot the panel. Please note that the webpage will
not update to show that the EMC-DCP panel updated successfully.
