Please observe the following important prerequisites:
•Equipment and software properly installed.
•Video monitors properly set.
Ensure that your control room’s program and preview monitors are properly set, according to the requirements of your facility.
NV9000 requirements met.
You are using a master control system in conjunction with an NV9000 router control system. Ensure that your master control system and NV9000 are communicating with each other and configured as required.
•Channels properly configured.
Ensure that each Imagestore 750 has been configured (using the Imagestore 750 Configurator or by using the Imagestore 750’s front panel). Refer also to the Imagestore 750 Reference Manual for more information.
•All control panels properly configured.
All control panels (and GUIs) should be configured and operational. Refer to the MCS Panel Configuration Editor User’s Guide for details.
•User accounts for PCs used for master control set to ‘Standard User’ or better.
Master control software does not function properly when user accounts are set to ‘Restricted User’ or its equivalent.
Options
The Master Control Tally Processor is an option. It provides 32 GPI inputs and 32 GPI outputs. It can monitor master control events and trigger master control events.
Intuition XG is an option that adds rich branding to master control because it includes sophisticated design tools, a powerful graphics processor, and storage for video clips, and access to “live” data.

Purpose
The iMC-Panel-100 is one of the hardware control panels available in the Miranda master control system. These are its distinguishing characteristics:
•Separate button panel and display. The display can be mounted anywhere with respect to the panel.
•Compact and rack-mountable button panel. The panel is 19.0″ wide × 5.22″ high × 3.7″ deep. The iMC-Panel-100 requires at least 2–3″ clearance at the rear for cables.
•Moderate price.
•Menu system that allows an operator to change parameter settings.
•A set of buttons that can be configured as sources, video effects, or voice-overs as required by your facility. You can switch between several groups of sources.
Some of the buttons are present on the button panel and other buttons (“soft” buttons) are present on the display.
•A set of customer-definable function buttons.
•Audio control knobs.
The iMC-Panel-100 can control Imagestore 750s, MCEs, and MCPMs and therefore its button panel has silkscreen markings that refer to either Imagestore 750s or MCEs and MCPMs.
Master Control System Overview
Miranda’s combined master control system—a multi-channel switcher—might include one or more Imagestore 750s, MCEs, and MCPMs. Imagestore 750s are independent transition processors (a.k.a. channel branding processors).
MCEs and MCPMs reside in iMC-Panel-100 frames. The frames are 8RU assemblies with 16 I/O card slots that can operate in conjunction with other switchers, routers, an NV9000 router

Introduction
Master Control System Overview
control system, and other products. Each frame holds one or more MCPMs, MCEs, and optionally a multi-format router.
Each Imagestore 750, MCE, or MCPM is considered a channel.
Imagestore 750s, MCPMs, MCEs, and control panels communicate on an Ethernet LAN. When an operator presses control panel buttons (the ‘Transition’ button, for example), the control panel issues commands to the attached channel (Imagestore 750, MCPM, or MCE). The channel responds with status and (unless a problem exists) executes the command. When a command is successfully executed, the channel notifies the panel, which updates its displays and indicators accordingly.
Figure 2-1 shows the basic relationships in a master control system:

Fig. 2-1: Master Control Network
Master control can work in conjunction with an NV9000 router control system. In such a configuration, a channel has access to the entire router input space, with the ability to select any router source.
Most control panels can control one or more channels at any time —but usually one at a time. Operators can select which channel(s) to control. When you change channels, control panel updates take about a second. We say that the panel attaches the newly selected channel, and the channel’s own source layout, transition rates, and layer presets are available for use.
Each channel can also be operated under automation. A channel can be controlled by multiple control panels.
The panel’s features when it is controlling an Imagestore 750 are quite different from the same panel’s features when it is controlling an MCE or MCPM. (This guide discusses only the features that support Imagestore 750s.)
NV9000 Router Control System
A master control system can be viewed as a part of an NV9000 system. Alternatively, the NV9000 can be regarded as a provider of inputs to the master control system.
In either case, master control allows router outputs as master control inputs and allows an operator (or automation) to take router sources to the master control output.
The NV9000 system is a requirement for master control systems that use Imagestore 750s.
An iMC-Panel-100 frame used in conjunction with an NV9000 system must be connected to the NV9000 (in the control section of the master control frame).

Operator’s Guide (for Imagestore 750s)
Control Panels
Presently there are 3 hardware control panels and 1 software control panel (GUI) that support Imagestore 750s:
iMC-Panel-GUI |
A software control panel, also called the “GUI.” This panel runs on a PC and |
|
has a graphical user interface. The GUI is a software emulation of the iMC- |
|
Panel-200. The GUI is designed to operate with (or without) a touch-sensi- |
|
tive screen. |
iMC-Panel-100 |
A 3RU rack-mounted panel with a separate rack-mountable display. This |
|
panel has reduced size (less than 4″ in depth) and reduced cost. |
iMC-Panel-200 |
A compact hardware control panel that has a large LCD touchscreen, many |
|
function buttons, and a joystick. The iMC-Panel-200 mounts on a desktop |
|
or work surface. All buttons have LCD legends and color-coding. |
iMC-Panel-300 |
A “full-size” control panel that has a large LCD touchscreen, many function |
|
buttons, and a joystick. The iMC-Panel-300 mounts on a desktop or work |
|
surface. All but 2 buttons have LCD legends and color-coding. |
Other Miranda Products
Listed here are products that relate to master control.
Tally Processor
Miranda offers a third-party “tally processor”—a 1RU device that provides 32 optically isolated inputs and 32 relay outputs, also optically isolated. The tally processor can sense master control events such as main source selections and transitions, trigger master control events, and control various devices in your system. A master control network can include multiple tally processors.
Intuition XG
As a master control subsystem, Intuition XG is a combination of the following:
•Intuition XG—a singleor dual-channel HD/SD graphics processor. This processor stores XG media clips and transmits the clips (fill and key) when directed by an Imagestore 750, MCE, or MCPM.
•XMedia software for configuration and for composing, rendering, and previewing graphics. Panel operators will generally not need to understand or use this software.
Imagestore 750 Overview
The Imagestore 750 is an independent transition processor (also called a “channel branding processor”) that can operate as a stand-alone unit with or without automation, or as part of Miranda’s iMC master control system. In the context of the combined master control system, it operates in conjunction with an NV9000 router control system, that provides video and audio sources, and one or more master control panels, such as the iMC-Panel-100, that provide commands. The Imagestore 750 issues switching instructions to the NV9000 when it receives commands from a master control panel.
The Imagestore 750 is essentially an A/B transition processor that inserts video effects (DVEs and DSKs) and voice-overs into its output. It has many configuration options.

Inputs and outputs of the Imagestore 750 include:
•Four SDI inputs, A–D. These accept HD or SD input.
•Two external keyer pairs (fill and key). Inputs C and D can be used for a third keyer pair.
•A GPIO connector that supports 16 GPIO ports (each configurable as an input or an output), LTC, and Dolby metadata.
•16 AES inputs and 16 AES outputs.
•Four SDI outputs (program, preview, clean-feed, and monitor).
There are also 4 COM ports and 2 Ethernet ports.
Other Transition Processors like the Imagestore 750
For the sake of discussion in this document, the term “Imagestore 750” includes the LGK-3901, DSK-3901, and the ISM-3901, as well as the Imagestore 750 itself. These are transition processors that fit in a 3RU Densité frame. These units provide a subset of the functions of an Imagestore 750. The master control system treats these units as if they were Imagestore 750s. They are configurable using the Imagestore 750 Configurator and each has a browser application (for remote management) that is similar to the browser application for the Imagestore 750.
See LGK-3901, DSK-3901, and ISM-3901 on page 11 for more information.

Each input (A, B, C, D, Fill1, Key1, Fill2, and Key2) can be individually selected as an SDI input or one of 5 test signals. (Each SDI input can be subject to a rectangular clipping mask.)
Inputs C and D can be used as a (fill3, key3) pair. The Imagestore 750 can use any of its fill/key inputs to receive clips from an Intuition XG processor. The Intuition XG processor produces up to 8 “XG keyer layers.” The Imagestore 750 sends commands to the Intuition XG processor that control the playout of the clips.
Both the A and B side of the A/B mixers can connect to any of the inputs (A, B, C, D, Fill1, Key1, Fill2, and Key2). Similarly, any of the DVEs can connect to any of those inputs.
The DVEs can also accept the output of the A/B mixer. The DVE output (either DVE1 or DVE2) can be inserted in the processing path in one of 3 places: before DSK1, before DSK2, or before DSK3. The DVE processing section is a purchase option. The DVE processor can be bypassed if it is installed.
The Imagestore 750 has storage supporting internal keyers (logos, etc.). Inputs C and D can be used as external keyer (fill3, key3).
The preview output can present video from one of several different tap points. Similarly, the clean-feed (CLN) output and the monitor (MON) outputs can present video from several different tap points.
Audio is disembedded from SDI sources, sent to the audio processing section, and reembedded on output. The audio is re-embedded in the PGM, PVW, CLN, and MON outputs.

Operator’s Guide (for Imagestore 750s)
LGK-3901, DSK-3901, and ISM-3901
The LGK-3901 and the DSK-3901 are card modules that fit in a 3RU Densité frame. Each of these units comprises an I/O card set and a backplane connector module. The Densité frame can accommodate up to 10 of these modules.
Each of these modules can be regarded, from the standpoint of the iMC Master Control system, as a reduced version of the Imagestore 750. Configuration of the modules uses the same software: the Imagestore 750 Configurator. The browser application for these modules is nearly identical to the browser application for the Imagestore 750.
LGK-3901
The LGK-3901 is an independent transition processor (also called a “3G/HD/SD Logo Inserter and Downstream Keyer”) that can operate as a stand-alone unit with or without automation, or as part of Miranda’s iMC master control system. Like the Imagestore 750, it operates in conjunction with an NV9000 router control system, that provides video and audio sources, and one or more master control panels, such as the iMC-Panel-200, that provide commands. The LGK-3901 issues switching instructions to the NV9000 when it receives commands from a master control panel.
The LGK-3901 is essentially an A/B transition processor that inserts video effects (stills and animation) and voice-overs into its output. It has several configuration options. The principal software used is the “Imagestore 750 Configurator.” Note that a particular version of this software is required for operation in the context of an iMC master control system: at present, it is v1.5. Other configuration tools exist.
Version 3.0 of the LGK-3901 software and firmware is required for use in the master control system. The LGK-3901 must be equipped with the master control option.

Fig. 2-3: LGK-3901 System Diagram
If you compare this diagram to Figure 2-2, you can see that the LGK-3901 has fewer connectors. It also has some enhancements.
Inputs and outputs of the Imagestore 750 include:
•Two SDI inputs, A and B. These accept 3Gig, HD, and SD input.
•Two external keyer pairs (fill and key). Input B can alternately be used as the fill of the second keyer pair.
•A GPIO connector that supports 16 GPIO ports (8 inputs and 8 outputs), LTC input, and 4 AES input (pairs).
•Two SDI outputs (program and preview).

Fig. 2-4: Conceptual Model of the LGK-3901
There are two video processing paths, program and preview. Each includes 5 downstream keyers (DSKs). The preview output and inputs, as they are called in Imagestore 750 terminology, are called the preset output and inputs at the control panels. An A/B mixer combines preset video and program video according to the selected transition type and rate, and according to configured transition modes.
The configuration tool allows you a nearly infinite number of ways to connect audio components. Only a few of those ways (similar to what is shown in Figure 2-4) are useful in the master control system.

Each input (A, B, Key2, Fill1, and Key1) can be individually selected as an SDI input or one of 4 test signals. (Each SDI input can be subject to a rectangular clipping mask.)
Both the A and B side of the A/B mixers can connect to any of the inputs.
The LGK-3901 has storage (up to 8GB) supporting internal keyers. Input B can be used, alternatively, as the fill of an external key (fill2, key2). Either of the 2 external (fill, key) inputs can be used to receive Intuition XG clips.
The preview output can present video from one of several different tap points.
Audio is disembedded from SDI sources, sent to the audio processing pipeline, and reembedded on output. The audio is re-embedded in the PGM and PVW outputs.
DSK-3901
The DSK-3901 (called a “3G/HD/SD Downstream Keyer”) can be considered a reduced version of the LGK-3901. (If you order the right upgrade options, it will have the same features as an LGK3901.)
The DSK-3901 has the same “black box” diagram as the LGK-3901:

Introduction
LGK-3901, DSK-3901, and ISM-3901
The DSK uses the same backplane connector module as the LGK-3901 (although the part number of the backplane module might be different.)
Internally, however, it is different.

Fig. 2-6: Conceptual Model of the DSK-3901
Each video processing path includes 2 downstream keyers (DSKs). The preview output and inputs, as they are called in Imagestore 750 terminology, are called the preset output and inputs at the control panels. An A/B mixer combines preset video and program video according to the selected transition type and rate, and according to configured transition modes.
The configuration tool allows you a nearly infinite number of ways to connect audio components. Only a few of those ways (similar to what is shown in Figure 2-6) are useful in the master control system.
After audio is disembedded, the audio processing path includes an A/B mixer and two voiceover processors. Audio is re-embedded in program and preview audio after processing. (See the detailed model, next page.) Voice-overs are either stored EasyPlay clips or from external AES input.
The DSK-3901 does not have internal storage. It cannot store keys of any kind and it cannot store audio clips.

Embed
Audio
PGM Out
PVW Out
Each input (A, B, Key2, Fill1, and Key1) can be individually selected as an SDI input or one of 4 test signals. (Each SDI input can be subject to a rectangular clipping mask.)
Both the A and B side of the A/B mixers can connect to any of the inputs.
The DSK-3901 has no storage supporting internal keyers or audio clips. Input B can be used, alternatively, as the fill of an external key (fill2, key2). Either of the 2 external (fill, key) inputs can be used to receive Intuition XG clips.
The preview output can present video from one of several different tap points.
Audio is disembedded from SDI sources, sent to the audio processing pipeline, and reembedded on output. The audio is re-embedded in the PGM and PVW outputs.
ISM-3901
The product code for the Imagestore Modular is ISM-3901.
The ISM-3901 is a “product bundle” that comprises the following items:
•An LGK-3901 module with 8GB of storage and version 3.0 software or later.
•An ISM-3901 backplane connector module (identical to the LGK-3901 backplane module).
•The AB-mixing option for the LGK-3901.
•An LGK-3901 installation and operations guide.
Configurers should use tools that reference the LGK-3901.

Introduction
Control Panel Features
Control Panel Features
The iMC-Panel-100 offers the following features. (In many cases, the features are those of the Imagestore 750 under control.)
•Configurable function buttons.
All master control panels have a set of buttons whose functions can vary according to the needs of the facility and the operator. When it is controlling an Imagestore 750, the iMC- Panel-100 has 5 sets of customer-definable buttons.
•Channel selection, including ‘no channel’ mode, and ganged channels.
Your panel will usually have a default channel which is the channel selected when the panel powers up. It might be the only channel.
The 8 buttons in the top row of the iMC-Panel-100’s display are meant to be channel selection buttons, but are configurable for any function. As channel selection buttons, they can display thumbnail images for the channels. (The thumbnails are static and do not change with the content of the channel.)
•Salvos.
The iMC-Panel-100 can trigger a NV9000 control system salvo each time a channel change occurs. For example, a salvo can be programmed to change your entire audio/video monitor configuration instantly. Refer to the NV9000-SE Utilities User’s Guide for instructions on programming system salvos.
Salvos can also be assigned to panel buttons.
S Salvos are inhibited when a channel gang is in effect.
•Independent downstream keyers (DSKs). When it is controlling an Imagestore 750, the iMC-
Panel-100 can control 4 independent (linear) DSKs, each with separate key and fill inputs. Keyer parameters (e.g., clip, gain, and transparency) are configured independently in each Imagestore 750.
The DSKs handle internal keys (stills and animations) as well as (up to 3) external keys.
•DVEs.
A DVE (digital video effect) is a sequence of operations that can dynamically scale and position a video image on the screen, overlaying the main source. A DVE might perform other effects too. DVEs are created in the DVE Editor. DVEs are stored within the Imagestore 750. The panel supports up to 4 independent DVEs. Not all Imagestore 750s have DVE processors. If your panel is controlling such an Imagestore 750, its DVE buttons, if any, are disabled.
•XG layers.
An XG layer (or clip) is one of up to 8 outputs of an Intuition XG processor. When it is controlling an Imagestore 750, the panel can control up to 8 XG layers. XG layers are processed by one of the DSKs. Usually there is a default DSK assigned to XG layers.
•Fade to black. Master control provides a fade-to-black and a fade-to-silence function.
•General-purpose I/O (GPIO). Control panels have two optically isolated inputs that can sense external events and two relay outputs that can trigger external events.
The Imagestore 750 has GPIs can be associated with Imagestore 750 macros.
•Audio monitoring.

iMC-Panel-100
Operator’s Guide (for Imagestore 750s)
The iMC-Panel-100 has two audio monitor knobs, but they are not used when the panel is controlling an Imagestore 750s.
•Audio channel control.
The Imagestore 750 processes 16 audio channels.
The Imagestore 750 has 5 audio sections: program input audio, program output audio, preset input audio, and voice-over 1 audio and voice-over 2 audio. The Imagestore 750 has gain control, inversion, and 16-channel shuffles for each of these 5 sections.
The iMC-Panel-100 has 3 knobs for program audio output, preset audio input, and voiceover level. (These are live controls.)
•Panel lock. You can use a ‘Panel Lock’ button to prevent accidental changes to the panel settings.
•Automation control. You can enable or inhibit automation with a button press. There are 4 automation assist functions, such as ‘Cue Next’ and ‘Skip Next’.
•Source groups. The iMC-Panel-100 can have up to 16 source buttons. The Imagestore 750 allows the definition of multiple source groups. Each of those source groups can be mapped to the source buttons of the iMC-Panel-100. The sources in a group are selected from the sources defined in the NV9000 system. Thus, all NV9000 sources are potentially accessible.
•Configurable source button color. The panel’s source buttons can be assigned two colors, one color for the selected state of the button and another color for the unselected state. All source buttons of the panel use the same coloring. The choice of colors is green, white, yellow, or red.
