    Introduction Chapter 2 is an introduction to the iMC-Panel-200 as it applies to controlling Imagestore 750s, LGK-3901s, DSK-3901s, and ISM-3901s. Note that this document uses the term Imagestore 750 to represent all four of these transition processors, which have similar behavior with respect to control panel functions. Topics Purpose .
  • Page 18: Nv9000 Router Control System

    Introduction Master Control System Overview Each Imagestore 750, MCE, or MCPM is considered a channel. Imagestore 750s, 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 the attached channel (Imagestore 750, MCPM, or MCE).

    iMC-Panel-200 Operator’s Guide (for Imagestore 750s) Control Panels Presently there are 3 hardware control panels and 1 software control panel (GUI) that support Imagestore 750s: iMC-Panel-GUI A software control panel, also called the “GUI. ” This panel runs on a PC and has a graphical user interface.
  • Page 20: Imagestore 750 Overview

    Introduction Imagestore 750 Overview Imagestore 750 Overview The Imagestore 750 is an independent transition processor (also called a “channel branding processor”) that can operate as a stand-alone unit with or without automation, or as part of Miranda’s iMC master control system. In the context of the combined master control system, it operates in conjunction with an NV9000 router control system, that provides video and audio sources, and one or more master control panels, such as the iMC-Panel-200, that provide commands.
