The types of components and options you purchased will determine the complexity of your installation and configuration. Chapter 2: “Installation” includes the sequences of events for the most common IconMaster installation situations. Please see page 11 for a listing of these scenarios.
The IconMaster master control switcher is controlled by a control panel, automation, or general purpose inputs. This chapter is designed to help install and set up the IconMaster frame modules, control panel, and all relevant interconnections between the frame and panel.
The following options are available for use with the IconMaster system. You may order these options separately and install them yourself, or you may order them at the same time as your IconMaster system so that they will be factory-installed and -configured.

Specially equipped devices decode EAS messages for distribution. The IconMaster can be connected directly to an EAS encoder/decoder or character generator, thus enabling you to insert emergency notification messages directly into the broadcast stream as a regular scrolling text crawl.
For basic configurations and preparations please see the specific EAS device user manual. No additional special settings are needed to communicate with an IconMaster. The standard signal will be taken out from the EAS device’s serial port. IconMaster can be configured two different ways when using IconMaster's Audio Over to insert the EAS audio message into the program stream.

You cannot use this configuration on a network. The serial connector RS-232-A on the ICONM-BO-V video breakout module is dedicated for machine control use. To connect the IconMaster system to a VTR, follow these steps. 1. Using a straight-through RS-232 serial cable, connect RS-232-A on the ICONM-BO-V video breakout module to the serial connector on an SPT-LSERIAL or an SPT-LXYTOXY serial protocol translator.
See the Edge Protocol Gateway Installation and Frame Configuration Manual for detailed information. You can use an Edge to allow the IconMaster to “talk” to certain third party routing systems.

. This auxiliary output will follow the same source that is currently on-air. The router output can be linked to the IconMaster’s emergency PGM input and, in the event of an IconMaster failure or loss of power, a bypass relay will instantly connect the auxiliary signal to the IconMaster’s PGM output BNC.
Normally this will indicate, for example, the PIP on a video wall that is currently on the PGM monitor, PST Monitor, and/or Clean monitor. To set up IconMaster to send UMD data to a monitoring device: 1. Check Enabled to enable under monitor display on the IconMaster (keeping in mind that the change will not take effect until you upload the Configuration file to the frame).
Audio Profiles In order to make configuration of inputs with similar audio settings easier, IconMaster provides one default and three user-definable audio profiles to be created. An audio profile is a set of audio input to output mappings, which can be applied to any input source.
