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 single- or dual-channel HD/SD graphics processor. This processor stores XG
media clips and transmits the clips (fill and key) when directed by an MCE.
•
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-300, 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.
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.
