• The symbol

S denotes either an example or a special message.

• Entries enclosed in single quotes denote the names of control panel buttons and knobs, or menu

items.

Choose ‘Aux’ to ...

Press ‘Keyer 2’ button ...

The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this guide:

• The terms “panel,” control panel,” and “CECP” refer to the “Compact Enhanced Control

Panel.” The term “CECP M1” identifies a variant of the CECP (that has different physical fea-

tures). Both of these are the subject of this guide.

• The terms “PC GUI,” “CECP GUI,” “Aux/Preview GUI,” “FFCP,” “CFCP,” “FECP,” and

“SCP” refer to other master control panels.

• The term “MCPM” refers to any of the several models of master control processing modules. It

is an MCPM that carries out commands issued at a control panel such as the CECP.

• “MCE” stands for Master Control Engine

— the “next generation” transition processor. An

MCE as a type of MCPM and provides one master control channel.

• “High tally” means that a button is brightly illuminated

— at full intensity. “Low tally” means

that a button is illuminated at low intensity. Most buttons assume a low tally state until selected.

Some buttons are not illuminated.

Other terms, used occasionally, include the following:

• Intuition XG is a single- or dual-channel graphics processor. The term “Intuition XG” can

encompass all the hardware and software involved in the Intuition XG component of master

control.

• Vertigo XG is the hardware used under Intuition XG.

• XMedia is a term that includes different software applications that create and manage images,

keyers, logos, etc. used by Intuition XG.

• Xplay and the XG Dashboard are software applications under XMedia. Both of these are used

to configure the Vertigo XG processor.

• Xbuilder and Xstudio are creative software applications under XMedia.

• Oxtel is a division of Miranda. Its name is used to identify certain ports of the Intuition XG

hardware. A reason for this is probably unobtainable.

• The term “DC21” identifies the nv5100mc device controller used for machine control. “DC21”

is trademark of DNF Controls.

• The terms “XG media clip” and “XG clip” both refer to one of the video and audio sequences

stored in and played by the Intuition XG processor. The term “XG media” refers to the body of

clips available. An XG clip is a composition of video, static and animated graphics, audio, and

text (which can be obtained from live data).

can monitor master control events and trigger master control events.

The Master Control (DC21) Device Controller is an option but is required if your master control

system is to perform machine control. It also has 32 GPI inputs and 32 GPI outputs and has 4 serial

ports that can be used for machine control.

Intuition XG is an option that can be enabled for specific MCEs. Intuition XG adds rich branding to

master control because it includes sophisticated design tools, a powerful graphics processor, and

storage for video clips, and access to “live” data.

2. Introduction

Chapter 2 is an introduction to the CECP. It presents the following topics:

• Purpose

• Master Control System Overview

• MCPM Overview

• MCE Summary

• Control Panel Features

Purpose

The CECP (Compact Enhanced Control Panel) is one of the hardware control panels available in

the Miranda master control system. These are its distinguishing characteristics:

• Moderate size. The CECP is 19.7″ wide × 6.96″ high × 20.21″ deep. Rear connectors extend the

depth 0.67″. The CECP requires at least 2–3″ clearance at the rear for cables. The CECP sits on

a console or desktop.

• Moderate price.

• A large LCD touchscreen that provides a menu system and allows an operator to change set-

tings.

• A set of buttons that can be configured as main sources, video effects, or audio overs as

required by your facility. Operators can switch between two banks of main sources.

• A set of customer-definable function buttons.

• Audio control knobs.

The CECP M1 is a variant of the CECP that has different physical features. The details of the

CECP and the CECP M1 are presented in Chapter 3, Control Panel

, on page 15.

Master Control System Overview

Miranda’s master control system — a multi-channel switcher — might include one or more

NV5100MC frames and one or more NV5128-MC frames. The frames are similar 8RU assemblies

with 16 I/O card slots that can operate in conjunction with other switchers, routers, an NV9000

router control system, and other products.

Each frame holds one or more MCPMs, MCEs, and optionally a multi-format router. The MCPMs

and MCEs are the modules that actually perform the master control switching. Each MCPM or

MCE is considered a channel.

MCPMs, MCEs, and control panels communicate on an Ethernet LAN. When an operator presses

control panel buttons (the ‘Transition’ button, for example), the control panel issues commands to

an MCPM or MCE. The MCPM or MCE responds with status and (unless a problem exists) exe-

cutes the command. When a command is successfully executed, the MCPM or MCE notifies the

panel, which updates its displays and indicators accordingly.

Figure 2-1 shows the relationships in a master control system:

Figure 2-1. Master Control Network

Master control can work in conjunction with the NV9000 router control system. In such a configu-

ration, an MCPM or MCE (a channel) has access to the entire router input space, with the ability to

assign any router source dynamically to control panel buttons.

Most control panels can control one or more channels at any time

— but usually one at a time.

Operators can select which channel(s) to control. When you change channels, control panel updates

take about a second. We say that the panel attaches the newly selected channel, and the channel’s

own source layout, transition rates, and layer presets are available for use.

Each MCPM or MCE can also be operated under automation. An MCPM or MCE can be con-

trolled by multiple control panels.

NV9000 Router Control System

A master control system can be viewed as a part of an NV9000 system. Alternatively, the NV9000

can be regarded as provider of inputs to the master control system.

In either case, master control allows router outputs as master control inputs and allows an operator

(or automation) to take any router source to the master control output.

An MC system used in conjunction with an NV9000 system must be connected to the NV9000 (in

the control section of the master control frame).

Control Panels

Presently there are 5 hardware control panels and 2 software control panels (GUIs):

2. Introduction

Master Control System Overview

MCPMs

MCPMs (including MCEs) are the devices that perform master control switching and mixing.

There are several types of MCPMs:

NV5128-MC-GUI (Old) software control panel, also called the PC GUI. This panel runs on a

PC and has a graphical user interface, hence the name “GUI.” This GUI is a

software emulation of the FFCP. This GUI is designed to operate with (or

without) a touch-sensitive screen.

NV5100MC-GUI (New) software control panel, also called the “CECP GUI.” This panel also

runs on a PC and has a graphical user interface. This GUI is a software emu-

lation of the CECP. This GUI is designed to operate with (or without) a

touch-sensitive screen.

The Aux/Preview GUI is a configuration option for the CECP GUI. It is not

a separate product.

NV5100MC-CECP Compact Enhanced Control Panel. A console similar in many functions to

the CFCP, but having a different form. The CECP mounts on a desktop or

work surface. It has a larger touchscreen, and additional features such as

preview and aux buses and a joystick. All buttons have LCD legends and

color-coding. The CECP M1 is a variant of the CECP that has two metering

inputs and no joystick or preview bus.

NV5100MC-FECP

“Full-size” enhanced control panel. A console similar in size and function

to the FFCP, but with features that support the “next generation” of master

control such as preview and aux buses and a joystick. The FECP mounts on

a desktop or work surface. All but 2 buttons have LCD legends and color-

coding.

MCPM-SD 2-slot modules that process standard definition (SD) video. Provides 3 keyers,

2 logos, 1 squeezeback layer, 4 AES outputs, and 8 analog audio outputs in

addition to program output.

MCPM-HD,

MCPM-HD2

4-slot modules that process either high definition (HD) video. Provides 3 key-

ers, 2 logos, 1 squeezeback layer, 4 AES outputs, and 8 analog audio outputs in

addition to program output. Two slots can be filled with router output cards.

MCPM-SDHD 4-slot modules that process either HD or SD video, as a field-programmable

option. Provides 3 keyers, 2 logos, 1 enhanced squeezeback layer, 4 AES out-

puts, and 8 analog audio outputs in addition to program output. One of the slots

can be occupied by a router output card.

MCPM-MK-SD 1-slot modules that process standard definition (SD) video. Provides 3 keyers,

1 logo, but no squeezeback. These modules are also named “mixer/keyers” or

“branding engines.”

MCPM-MK-HD 2-slot modules that process high definition (HD only) video. Provides 3 key-

ers, 1 logo, and no squeezeback. Unlike other MCPMs, this model accepts

inputs (16) from its backplane, not the frame’s motherboard. These modules

are also named “mixer/keyers” or “branding engines.”

MCE A 1- to 3-slot module that processes either HD or SD video, as a field-pro-

grammable option. MCEs are considered “next generation” processors and

have new architecture. See MCE Summary

, on page 11.

2. Introduction

Master Control System Overview

Other Miranda Products

Listed here are products that relate to master control.

Tally Processor

Miranda offers a third-party “tally processor”— a 1RU device that provides 32 optically isolated

inputs and 32 relay outputs, also optically isolated. The tally processor can sense master control

events such as main source selections and transitions, trigger master control events, and control

various devices in your system. A master control network can include multiple tally processors.

DC21

The DC21 is another third-party device — a 1RU device appearing very much like the Tally Proces-

sor

— that performs machine control.

Each of its 4 serial ports uses one of 3 machine control protocols: Sony, Odetics, or VDCP.

Its GPOs can be configured to control up to 16 devices with start and stop pulses. GPOs not used

for master control might be programmed to respond to GPI and device control events.

EBCP

The emergency bypass control panel (EBCP) is a simple one: it is a 1RU panel that has two large

button switches. One says “Main” and the other says “Bypass.” Pressing the red “Bypass” button

places an MCPM or MCE in bypass mode. Pressing the green “Main” button enables normal mode.

(The panel controls only the MCPM to which it is connected.)

TLA

The transition lever arm (TLA) is an extension of a hardware control panel that allows an operator

to perform manual transitions by moving a lever from one extent to the other. The operator can vary

the speed, duration, and direction of the transition at will. The TLA can be used only with the FFCP

or CFCP.

Intuition XG

As a master control subsystem, Intuition XG is a combination of the following:

• Vertigo XG — a single- or dual-channel HD/SD graphics processor. This processor stores XG

media clips and transmits the clips (fill and key) when directed by an MCE.

The MCE treats the video as it does any key source and mixes the video from the with program

or preset output. In fact, the MCE uses its keyers to process the XG layers.

• XMedia software for configuration and for composing, rendering, and previewing graphics.

Panel operators will generally not need to understand or use this software.

There is an ‘Int XG’ button and a ‘Preview Int XG’ button on the main menu of the CECP. These

buttons display a menu of Intuition XG keyer layers. You might also find ‘XG layer’ buttons on the

panel’s preset, program, and preview button rows and an ‘XG keyer control’ among the config-

urable buttons.

Because the CECP M1 has no preview bus, it does not have a ‘Preview Int XG’ button. It does have

an ‘Int XG’ button, however.
