The Evertz CP-2200E Duo is a professional intelligent router control panel designed to provide operators with a powerful, ergonomic interface for managing large-scale video and audio routing switchers. It is specifically engineered to work with Evertz's VistaLINK router control system, offering an intuitive, hardware-based solution for making real-time source-to-destination connections in broadcast, production, and master control environments. The "Duo" designation typically indicates that the panel can control two independent router matrices or two separate layers (e.g., video and audio) simultaneously from a single unit. This dual-control capability enhances operator efficiency in complex facilities.

The panel features a high-resolution color LCD screen that dynamically displays source and destination labels, router status, and menu information. It is equipped with multiple banks of soft keys, each associated with the display, allowing labels and functions to change based on the selected mode. Dedicated navigation keys, a rotary encoder, and a keypad facilitate quick selection and entry. Its tactile, responsive buttons and clear visual feedback are designed for fast, error-free operation under the pressure of live television. The CP-2200E connects to the router control system via Ethernet, integrating seamlessly into the facility's control network and allowing for centralized configuration and management.

As a critical interface between the operator and the routing infrastructure, the Evertz CP-2200E Duo enhances the speed, accuracy, and flexibility of signal management. It is commonly installed in master control rooms, production control rooms, and central apparatus areas where reliable, instantaneous routing decisions are essential for on-air operations. By providing a robust, dual-layer hardware interface, it empowers technical directors and operators to manage complex signal paths with confidence and precision.
