Master Control (ITX-MC)
User Guide
The text or label on the Mixer Mapper button identifies the Imagestore channel that is
currently selected on the iMC panel. It can also identify the current state of the connection
between the iMC panel’s currently selected channel and the Mixer Mapper:
Configuring the iMC panel to support iTX Automation
Assuming that the Master Control Panel (iMC panel v.7.2.9 or later) has been installed and
configured to control the Imagestore 750, the following procedure describes the additional
steps required to configure the master control panel to support iTX Automation.
1 Open the
MCS Panel Configuration Editor
by selecting the Windows
Start
button and
navigating the programs menu to
Grass Valley > Master Control > MCSPanelConfig.
2 Select
File > Open
. Navigate to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Miranda\Master
Control\bin\
and open the panel’s configuration file.
The panel’s configuration profile appears in the MCS Panel Configuration Editor (see
Figure 2-5 on page 20).
Label Description
<Channel Name>
The iMC panel’s channel name on its own indicates that the iMC panel is
reporting that it is connected to the same channel as the channel
selected in the iTX Desktop.
When a different channel is selected on the iMC panel, if the channel is
configured for panel control, the Mixer Mapper’s button updates to
display the new channel’s name.
NO PANEL
Indicates that communication with the iMC panel has not been
established.
To remedy, ensure that the Hard Panel Controller is properly configured
and that all physical connections are correct and properly fitted.
Panel
Disconnected
Indicates that the iMC panel is reporting that it has no channel selected.
<Channel Name>
OUT OF SYNC
Indicates that the iMC panel is reporting that it is connected to a
channel that is not the same channel as selected in the iTX Desktop.
<Channel Name>
Not Controllable
Indicates that the iMC panel is reporting that it is connected to the same
channel as selected in the iTX Desktop, but the Mixer Mapper
component is inactive or that the channel is not enabled/selected for
panel control.
<Channel Name>
Slave
Indicates the iMC panel is reporting that it is connected to the same
channel as selected in the iTX Desktop; the Mixer Mapper component is
active and that channel is enabled/selected for panel control, but the
channel has Slave duty for a Main/Backup iTX channel. Channel control
in iTX is available only for the Master duty, hence the Automation Assist
buttons in the iTX Desktop and on the iMC panel are not enabled for the
selected channel.
