The GS-4000 graphics product is designed for standalone use or with the MC-4000 master
control switching system. The GS-4000 is a rackmount PC that includes applications for
managing and combining static or animated graphics, text and crawls into scenes which are
saved and recalled when needed. The GS-4000 generates Key and Fill SDI output signals
which are connected to one of the MC-4000 keyers. The MC-4000 system also connects to
the GS-4000 through a serial port connection which allows master control to recall the graphic
pages manually or through MC-4000 automation control.
The GS-4000 includes two primary applications that are used together to combine graphics
and crawls into scenes that are saved for quick recall by the master control switcher. The two
main applications are LogoMaster and CrawlMaster. LogoMaster provides a method of
managing and combining graphics into scenes and drives the GS-4000’s Key and Fill outputs.
The LogoMaster application also accepts crawls from the CrawlMaster application and
combines it with its graphic pages. The first section of the manual covers the LogoMaster
application. The second section covers the CrawlMaster.
