Overview
Miranda’s master control systems have many modular parts and provides many options. You can
order a master control system that is optimal for your facility. It can change with your needs.
There are two product names: NV5128-MC and NV5100MC. The name NV5128-MC represents
older master control products. The name NV5100MC represents newer master control products and
specifically includes the “next generation” MCE (master control engine), and several “next genera-
tion” control panels, the CECP, CECP M1, CECP GUI, Aux/Preview GUI, and the FECP.
Two master control frames are available: the NV5128-MC and NV5100MC. The two frames are
visually indistinguishable (except for the legend on the door). There are important differences,
however. The NV5100MC frame has a different and newer motherboard. The NV5100MC has
higher throughput and supports multiple SWB and 3Gig I/O cards. The two frame types each have
their advantages and disadvantages.
The primary purpose of a master control system is to place one of many video and audio sources
“on air” or, alternatively, to switch video and audio sources to selected output(s). When it switches,
the master control system can do so with a set of transition effects that include speed, fade, video
effects, and audio mixing.
Secondary purposes include:
• Placing keys and logos on air and controlling key and logo attributes.
• Performing squeezeback and controlling squeezeback effects.
• Selecting and mixing (up to 16) audio channels, controlling audio levels, and mixing audio
“overs” with program audio.
• Performing video and audio breakaways.
• Machine control and pre-roll.
• Previewing and monitoring various video and audio sources.
