Control Panel
Panel Summary
The preset and program button rows contain up to 24 main sources and up to 8 video effects,
and up to 2 voice-overs. The video effects and voice-over buttons may be configured in any
order, but those effects are executed in a configurable order in the Imagestore 750.
The preset and program buttons are identical. They represent the same sources, video effects,
and voice-overs. The preset and program buttons are paired (and identical) and support content
and transitions going “on air.”
The preview/user buttons, when the panel is controlling an Imagestore 750, are a set of 24
customer-definable buttons among which are menu buttons. (Menu buttons select menus on
the touchscreen.)
The aux/user buttons include the same main sources as program and preset, but provides up to
6 customer-definable buttons (at the right) instead of video effects and voice-overs. The aux
buttons provide a means by which you can direct a selected router source to an auxiliary device
such as a monitor.
At the very front of the panel are two groups of function buttons. The group of 12 buttons are
transition control buttons by convention. The group of 3 buttons are system control buttons by
convention. All are configurable. At the front right is the (orange) transition button which is not
configurable.
At the rear of the panel are two power connectors, a GPI/Alarms connector, an Ethernet port, a
USB port, an aux port, and an SD/HD input (BNC).

The aux port is reserved for future development . It has nothing to do with the aux buttons.
The USB port is reserved for use by Miranda technicians .
The ‘SD/HD Input’ connector (BNC) is the panel’s audio metering input. The metering input is
not used for the Imagestore 750.
Panel Buttons
All buttons except the two white ‘Dim’ buttons have LCDs in their top surface displaying 3 rows
of 8 characters or occasionally some graphics. Program and preset buttons are dynamically
“relegendable.” Configurable buttons are defined in the panel configuration and their functions
do not change
1
although their legends might change. The button LCDs change color to provide
additional information about the button function. The buttons can appear green, amber, red,
yellow, blue, white, violet, or aqua. The colors can be bright (high-tally) or less bright (low-tally)
or off (disabled). Red indicates an error condition such as LOS. Amber indicates a potential error
1. They do change if you switch control from an Imagestore 750 to an MCE or vice versa.
