Page 19: Introduction
2. Introduction Chapter 2 is an introduction to the NV5100MC master control system. It presents the following topics: • Overview • Aspects of the System Overview Miranda’s master control systems have many modular parts and provides many options. You can order a master control system that is optimal for your facility.
Page 20 • 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...
Page 21: Aspects Of The System
The input cards allowed in an MC system include AES audio (synchronous), analog audio, analog video, SD video, and HD video. An MFR supports input cards of those formats and also supports time-code and machine control formats. The MFR typically requires one or more output cards. NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...

2. Introduction Aspects of the System The design of your system must take into consideration how the master control and MFR compo- nents (if present) fit together mechanically and architecturally. NV9000 Router Control System An MC (master control) system can be viewed as a part of an NV9000 system. Alternatively, the NV9000 can be regarded as a provider of inputs to the MC system.

NV5100MC-FECP “Full-size” enhanced control panel. A console similar in size and function to the FFCP, but with features that support Miranda’s “next generation” of master control. The FECP sits on a desktop or work surface. In most cases, a panel’s function buttons have dynamic legends and change color and brightness as required to indicate the function state.
Page 24 2. Introduction Aspects of the System Basic transition types include cut, V-fade (or fade-fade), cut-fade, cross-fade, and fade-cut. (Other types exist. See Manual Transition Behavior on page 63.) Audio transitions are of the same type and rate as the video transitions. Video effects include keyer 1, logo A, squeezeback, keyer 2, keyer 3, and logo B and are performed in that order (although some MCPMs do not support all effects and some control...

Intuition XG Miranda’s Intuition XG graphics processor and its associated Xmedia software can be integrated with the master control system. The Intuition XG subsystem includes a graphics processor that stores, and plays out, video keys.
Page 26: Mcpms
2. Introduction Aspects of the System MCPMs MCPMs (master control processing module) are the devices that perform master control switching and mixing. There are several types of MCPMs: 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.
Page 27: Ancillary Hardware
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. Through Miranda’s NVISION Ethernet protocol (NVEP), the tally processor can sense master control events such as main source selections and transitions and trigger master control events.
Page 28: Device Controller
Aspects of the System Device Controller Miranda offers a third-party “device controller”— a 1RU device that can control 4 VTRs or other devices using a serial protocol (Sony, Odetics, or VDCP) and up to 16 devices using start and stop pulses.
Page 29: Frames
UniConfig takes only a short time if you know what to do. Deciding how your router(s) will work with master control is a bigger task. Contact Miranda (or visit www.miranda.com) if you wish to receive an application note (AN0004) that presents a case study.
Page 30: Control Cards
Redundant control cards are not supported by all third-party router control protocols. Please contact Miranda if you have questions about this. The EM0374 control card can process control information from an external router control system such as the NV9000.

Page 34: Signal Formats
3. Frames Overview Signal Formats Master control signal formats can be a mix of AES audio, analog audio, analog video, SD video, and HD video. The MFR can route time-code signals and machine-control signals. The master con- trol (MC) system does not accept signals of these types at the motherboard. I/O cards can be mixed in many combinations.
Page 35: Local Vs. Router Input
Many of the connectors are used when a router is present in the frame and are not necessarily useful for master control. Control Ports At the top left portion of the rear of the frame are 6 serial connectors, and further below that are 2 Ethernet connectors: NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...

Page 37: Ethernet Control
There are two pairs of connectors for AES reference — one for the primary control card and one for the secondary control card. Each control card can use either: • BNC (75-ohm). • A 3-pin Phoenix connector for STP connections. NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...
Page 38: Aux Bus
At software release 6.1.0, MCEs derive AES reference from their video reference. Aux Bus At the middle left portion of the rear of the frame are 2 ‘Miranda Aux Bus’ (BNC) connectors:. Aux Connectors (BNC, 50Ω ) If you are using an SMS7000 router control system with the master control system, connect the SMS7000 to the Miranda aux bus connector.
Page 39: Video Reference
If either reference fails, it will be replaced with the internally generated signal and any outputs using the failed reference will switch asynchronously. Each of these modes requires that configuration settings be made using UniConfig software. This mode allows the use of SD and HD video with video reference.

Page 56: Video Effects And Audio Overs
4. MCPMs Overview The MCPM applies video effects and audio overs in the left-to-right sequence shown in Figure 4-1. What is on the right is considered downstream and what is on the left is considered upstream. Downstream effects modify any upstream effects. For instance, a squeeze effect affects logo A, because logo A is upstream of the squeeze function, but does not affect logo B, which is down- stream.
Page 57: Transition Types
A hot cut should be considered an emergency measure — to correct an error quickly — because it can have noticeable artifacts that would be absent in a normal transition. NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...

The preview board is optional. The board implements the preview bus, to which a panel’s preview buttons correspond. The preview bus allows operators to examine video sources independently, applying video effects and audio overs at will, without affecting program content or interfering with automation. NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...

Page 113: Control Panels
CECP • Aux/Preview GUI Overview Presently, Miranda master control systems include these panel types: • FFCP — Full-Function Control Panel. • PC GUI — (Old) software control panel. • CFCP — Compact Full-function Control Panel. • SCP — Simple Control Panel.
Page 114: Features For The Panel
6. Control Panels Overview All control panels have GPI input and output functions. Hardware control panels have 2 hardware inputs and 2 hardware outputs; software control panels (GUIs) of course do not. All control panels, including the GUIs, can read the two GPI inputs from the MCPM or MCE and control the two GPI outputs in the MCPM or MCE.
Page 115: Features For Mces Only
See Transition Lever Arm on page 148. The FFCP is designed so that you can place it in a recess in the surface of an operator’s console. Cutouts on page 190 for dimensions. NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...
Page 116: Pc Gui
6. Control Panels Overview PC GUI This older software control panel executes on a PC (and can run remotely). The user interface emu- lates the hardware of the FFCP, but there are a few slight differences. The GUI can be used with a touchscreen PC allowing operators to press buttons directly with their fingers.
Page 117: Cecp
Like the FFCP, it has 16 button pairs for main sources, 6 video effect buttons, and 2 audio over but- tons, 24 pairs in all. All buttons have color-coded LCD legends. NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...
Page 118: Cecp Gui
6. Control Panels Overview The FECP’s touchscreen is large and has 8 menu knobs. The CECP has a joystick for fine visual control over certain video effects and for scrolling. The menu has a “live audio levels” display. The FECP supports the MCE’s preview and aux buses, and provides control over enhanced squee- zeback parameters such as border width and color, and dual-image squeezeback.

Master control is enhanced by it but does not require it. When it is integrated with an NV5100MC master control system, the Intuition XG processor feeds HD or SD keys (fill and key video inputs with up to 16 audio channels) to MCEs. It is a single- or dual-channel graphics processor that provides multi-level character generation, and animation, still, and clip playout with multi-channel audio.
Page 168: Integration With Mce
A. Special Features Intuition XG Integration with MCE The XG processor delivers two channels of HD or SD video (each with fill and key and up to 16 audio channels) to the MCE. (See Connections, following.) Audio reaches the MCE through the the keyer fill input dedicated to the XG channel.
Page 169: Xstudio Functions
The add-on functions are built into non-standard XML files that must be obtained either from the installation CD (SB0221) or from Miranda technical support. The special XML files are for customers who want to make use of the MCE embedded commands.

Page 180: Machine Control And Pre-Roll
A. Special Features Machine Control and Pre-Roll Machine Control and Pre-Roll Machine control and pre-roll are two independently configurable master control options. Machine control applies to VTRs, video disk players, video servers, and similar devices that need to be started, stopped, paused, rewound, and so on. Pre-roll generally applies to tape media (VTRs, etc.) that need to be tensioned and brought up to speed before playing.
Page 181: Mce Parameters
The transition button blinks during the period of pre-roll and reverts to its normal color (orange). A transition is always a pre-roll transition when the MCE’s system pre-roll value is non-zero. NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...
Page 182: Theory
A. Special Features Machine Control and Pre-Roll The pre-roll period is essentially the longest pre-roll value of the pending sources. Theory The pre-roll period is calculated in relation to the point at which new video appears on the program bus. In a V-fade, for example, that is in the middle of the transition. (See Figure A-2, following.) MasterConfig refers to the cue point.
Page 183: System Pre-Roll
3 Master control’s machine control and pre-roll functions do little to ensure that a tape, or any other medium, is properly cued. Correct playout is always the operator’s responsibility. 4 There is an ‘Abort’ button to cancel pre-roll transitions before a transition completes the pre- roll period.

C. Misc. Information NV9000 Integration • The ability to execute router salvos (either automatically with a channel change or explicitly) from the control panel. The NV9000 router control system’s device names are formatted for display on control panel but- tons according to NV9000 rules. Some editing of the NV9000 mnemonics within the NV9000 con- figuration software might be needed to correct display problems on master control panels.

Page 216: Application Notes
With many stations running multiple channels of master control, video and audio monitoring can be difficult. One of the unique attributes of Miranda master control can help. You can allocate space in the frame for a small (multi-format) router in addition to the master control channels. The program and monitor outputs of the MCPMs can be switched through the router.
Page 217: Using External Router Sources
ERS configuration is performed entirely in MasterConfig. Any MCPM, including MCEs, can per- form external router source selection. ERS must be enabled in MasterConfig’s general settings. 1. See the Miranda application note Routing and Mas ter Control Integration (AN0004-xx). NV5100MC Master Control • Reference Manual...
Page 218: Caveats
C. Misc. Information Application Notes External router sources can be main sources, over sources, key sources, and squeeze images. Each type must be enabled individually. The configurer should enable only what is needed because ERS consumes inputs ports: Main sources require up to 12 ports (in pairs). Key sources require (usually) 6 connectors, but you can get by with 3 if all you have are self- keys.
Page 219: Maintenance
Miranda master control panels require no maintenance. Periodic Inspection Periodically inspecting the frame for signs of trouble is the best way to prevent unplanned outages.
Page 220: Intake Filter Screen Cleaning
C. Misc. Information Maintenance 4 Look at each MCPM and verify that none of the red alarm LEDs are illuminated. Normally, the green and amber LEDs are illuminated. Refer to Table C-7 on page 208 to interpret the LED status indicators. 5 Look at the control card(s) and verify that the green and amber LEDs are illuminated on the active control card, and that the green LED is on for the standby controller (if present).
