Philips CP-3021 BTS Broadcast Control Panel 1U Rackmount Pushbutton D-Sub
The Philips CP-3021 is a 1U rackmount control panel from Philips Broadcast Television Systems (BTS), designed for use with Philips BTS routing, switching, or signal-distribution equipment. The panel provides a row of thirteen labeled pushbuttons — allowing operators to select, monitor, or route broadcast signal paths directly from the rack face. It connects to the host system via rear-panel INPUT and OUTPUT D-sub connectors and includes an attached 3M flat ribbon cable assembly for interfacing with compatible BTS hardware.

Applications
Philips BTS (Broadcast Television Systems) produced a range of professional broadcast infrastructure equipment through the 1980s and 1990s, including routing switchers, signal distribution amplifiers, and production systems used in television stations, production facilities, and post-production suites worldwide. Control panels like the CP-3021 served as the operator interface for these systems, letting engineers and technicians select signal routes, monitor system status, or trigger switching events from the rack without needing a separate dedicated control console. The button labels visible on this panel — referencing fiber (Fib) and receiver (Rx/RX) designations — suggest it was used in a fiber-optic signal distribution or routing context. Philips BTS equipment of this era is still found in legacy broadcast facilities and is sought after for maintaining or expanding existing Philips-based infrastructure.
This Philips CP-3021 BTS Broadcast Control Panel has been pulled from a working broadcast environment and visually inspected. The aluminum chassis and front face are in good used condition with light surface wear consistent with rack service. All labeled pushbuttons are present and intact. The attached 3M 3485-2400 flat ribbon cable and D-sub connectors show no obvious damage. A factory EFTC test sticker (Tested By: 980) is present on the rear label. This panel has not been powered up or tested at our facility. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
