A. Special Features
Intuition XG
The Intuition XG processor and the MCE communicate on the master control network. The Intu-
ition XG processor delivers one or two (fill, key) pairs to the master control system through an
SWB card (a requirement). The MCE configuration identifies the ports through which the signals
enter the master control system.
The Intuition XG processor provides the XG configuration, video storage, and access to a network
of graphics tools, information databases, and so on.
Operators at master control panels use (and choose) the XG “layers” created or stored within the
Intuition XG processor as they would choose any other video effect.
Video cables connect to the Intuition XG processor with an 8-BNC breakout connector. One of
those cables is video reference (Analog Ref In). Note that the required reference is tri-level (1080i/
59.94) or NTSC.
The MCE can use tri-level, NTSC, or PAL reference. If the references supplied to the Intuition XG
and MCE are different (one is using NTSC and the other is using tri-level) the two references must
be properly timed.
The 4 video cables on the breakout connector are labeled:
(Program) (Preset)
SDI out A
SDI out B “fill”
SDI out C/key SDI out D/key “key”
On panels that are configured for Intuition XG, there is an ‘Int XG’ button and a ‘Preview Int XG’
button in the main menu where the operator can choose XG layers to place on air. Those panels
have up to 4‘XG layer’ buttons in the program button row and matching ‘XG layer’ buttons in
either the preset button row or the preview button row. The ‘XG layer’ buttons place the selected
XG layers on the preset (or preview) bus and the program bus.
A panel can have an optional ‘XG Keyer Control’ button. That button turns the keyers that support
XG layers on and off when the panel operator presses it. It is intended as an emergency kill switch.
The ‘XG Keyer Control’ button will also turn on and off the XG over if the XG over was selected
automatically when the XG layers were selected. (If the XG over was selected independently, the
‘XG keyer control’ button leaves it unchanged.)
When panel operator chooses a channel (an MCE) that is configured for Intuition XG, the channel
selection causes the panel to download thumbnail images of all the keyers the XG has available.
Xplay must be running in the Intuition XG processor for that to happen.
Panel operators that are controlling MCPMs or MCEs not configured for Intuition XG will find all
Intuition XG features disabled. Regular keyers assigned to the Intuition XG system become avail-
able when a panel is not controlling an MCE configured for Intuition XG.
Intuition XG Configuration
Some of these items are “givens”— features that are created during commissioning. This document
assumes that any and all “commissioning” has taken place.
1 The Intuition XG graphics processor runs Windows XP. Use the built-in Windows tools to give
it an IP address on the master control network.
2 Verify the software versions. At revision 6.3.1, MCEs are compatible with:
XMedia Suite version 4.3 build 249 (or later)
Vertigo XG version 1.11.35.0 (or later)
