Overview
Figure 2-1 represents the components of an Miranda master control system.
Figure 2 -1. An Miranda Master Control System
At the heart of the MC system are:
• Master control processing modules (MCPMs and MCEs).
The MCPM or MCE does the work of switching and mixing and produces the master control
output. It also produces monitoring (and metering) output. It can receive instructions from an
automation system. One MCPM or MCE is equivalent to one program
channel
.
MCEs (master control engines) are the “next generation” of MCPMs.
• Control panels.
Control panels (hardware or software) are the means by which a human operator effects
changes in the master control output.
Control panels have no particular “intelligence” in themselves. They are to the MC system as a
keyboard, monitor, and mouse are to ordinary computers.
The newer control panels, CECP, FECP, and GUIs, provide preview and aux buses that allow
operators to sample video and audio sources without affecting on-air content and without inter-
rupting automated control.
• Video and audio inputs.
Miranda’s master control frames have slots for input cards of different formats: AES audio,
analog audio, analog video, SD video, and HD video. The formats can be used together. These
are the inputs that the MCPM switches and mixes. An MCPM (or MCE) can also obtain inputs
