Remote Control Panel (RCP) — a physical hardware panel of buttons that is used to control the
routing system.
Resource — a source or destination of a router configuration; an external device providing some

T-Bus — the Ross Video proprietary routing communication method via a defined physical
interface.
UltriClean — clean switch functionality of the ULTRIX-FR12 routers.
Ultricore — refers to the Ultricore-CC and the Ultricore-BCS unless otherwise stated.
UltriMix — SDI embedded audio manipulation sub-system of the ULTRIX-FR12 routers.
