Quick Start Guide
Wiring
Reach the device
Each device has a serial number:
- cy-vp4-14-35
- cy-rcp-18-4
- cy-rio-15-151
- cy-nio-22-63
Let's take cy-rcp-18-4 the format means:
- CY-RCP is the device type, here an RCP
- 18 is the device batch ID (production)
- 4 is the unique number in this batch
You need the full serial cy-rcp-18-4 to identify completely a device.
Based on that, you can now reach your device by following this guide.
All the configuration is done in a web UI, no need to install any software.
Update your kit
It is not mandatory, but a good starting point to update all your devices to the latest version.
You can follow this guide
Setup IP
Each device comes with a factory IP (10.192.X.Y/16).
You can add your own IP's to:
- match your company LAN.
- match your gear network (cam, switcher, etc.)
NOTE
The default IP (factory) is always there and can't be changed. You can add as much IP as you want.
If you require a physical network, you can use USB-Ethernet dongles (NDI, Dante networks, for example).

Integrate with a Switcher/Router
The goal here is to have:

The goal here is to:

We also use tally light to add tally to a camera that doesn't have it by default (Sony FX3, etc.).
