The Evertz CP-1000E is a professional intelligent router control panel designed to provide operators with an intuitive, hardware-based interface for managing Evertz video and audio routing switchers within a VistaLINK control system. It serves as the primary point of interaction in master control rooms, production control rooms, and central apparatus areas, allowing technical directors and engineers to make real-time source-to-destination connections. The panel features a high-resolution color LCD screen that dynamically displays source and destination labels, router status, and menu information, providing clear visual feedback for error-free operation under live production pressure.

Engineered for ergonomics and efficiency, the CP-1000E is equipped with multiple banks of soft keys whose functions correspond directly to the on-screen labels, allowing the panel's layout to adapt to different control layers or router configurations. Dedicated navigation keys, a rotary encoder, and a numeric keypad facilitate rapid selection and data entry. Its tactile buttons and clear visual layout are designed for fast, reliable operation in critical on-air environments. The panel connects to the router control system via Ethernet, integrating seamlessly into the facility's network and allowing for centralized configuration, backup, and management through Evertz's software.

As a core component of broadcast control room infrastructure, the Evertz CP-1000E enhances the speed, accuracy, and flexibility of signal management. It empowers operators to execute complex routing tasks confidently, ensuring that the correct video and audio feeds are always directed to the appropriate destinations for recording, transmission, or monitoring. By providing a robust, dedicated hardware interface, it streamlines workflows and improves operational reliability in facilities where routing decisions must be made quickly and correctly.
