MCPM Architecture
The MCPM-MK-HD does, however, receive audio input from the motherboard
—
up to 64 stereo
(128 mono) sources on inputs in the range 65–128, in multiples of 16 sources. The MCPM-MK-HD
provides 3 video keyers, 1 logo keyer, and 2 audio overs.
At the backplane, the MCPM-MK-HD has no AES connectors. Emergency bypass audio input
must be embedded in the emergency bypass video input.
The MCPM-MK-HD has no backup battery and no “low battery” indicator.
The MCPM-MK-HD has no analog audio outputs, but does have audio meter and monitor outputs.
The MCPM-MK-HD has Ethernet (control) and RS-422 (automation) connections. The aux con-
nector has time-code inputs in addition to GPI and relay contacts. Because the MCPM-MK-HD
does not have a Dolby E decoder, the aux connector does not have Dolby metadata outputs.
MCPM Architecture
The MCPM-SD was the first MCPM released. Its description follows and is used as a basis for
comparison with other MCPMs. Differences in other MCPM models exist. For example:
• The HD MCPMs have an input space of 64 connectors (input connectors 1–64]), not 128 as for
the SD MCPMs. The -MK-HD has 16 inputs.
• Some MCPMs have no Dolby and no squeeze; the -SDHD has extra Dolby and enhanced
squeeze.
• Some MCPMs have two logo generators; others have one.
• MCEs have new architecture. They are discussed in Chapter 5,
MCEs
, on page 79.
In the master control frame, all video input connectors are BNCs
—
ether analog, SD, or HD. All
audio inputs have either DB25 (analog), BNC (AES) or Phoenix twisted pair (AES) connectors. In
any case, audio inputs are considered “stereo” pairs. AES input cards accept 16 stereo pairs and
analog audio input cards do also. The MCPM can be configured to treat any or all stereo inputs as 2
distinct “mono” inputs. So for the MCPM-SD, 128 connectors can potentially provide 256 “mono”
channels. (We use the term “mono,” but we really mean “independent.”)
S
This discussion does not consider the SWB router output card options.
Frame inputs can be connected to local devices (sources) or to routers. When an input is connected
to a router, the input can support “router pre-select” sources or “external router sources.” See
Exter-
nal Router Sources
on page 72.
An MCPM has a
video processing section
and an
audio processing section
. The video and audio
functions overlap in places. For example, the video section has audio disembedders and embedders.
Video Processing Section
The video crosspoint admits up to 128 (-SD, -MK-SD), 64 (-HD, -SDHD, in the range 1–64), or 16
(-MK-HD) inputs. The crosspoint has 9 (or 10) internal outputs, as shown in Figure 4-8. Preset,
program, keyer, and squeezeback sources are chosen dynamically (at a control panel or by automa-
tion). Any of the 3 keyers can accept input from one of 8 keyer sources.
Logos are stored in memory. Any logo effect can use any of 64 logo images.
