    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.

    Listed here are products that relate to nv5100mc. 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.

    For MCEs only, an external Intuition XG processor can provide video fill and key sources that are rendered by 1 or 2 of the MCE’s keyers. A logo is a graphic overlay. 1. A keyer is the firmware that mixes key signals with upstream video. NV5100MC Master Control • SCP Operator’s Guide...

  • Page 22: Transition Types

    2. Introduction MCPM Overview Squeezeback means that program output is either scaled or cropped to a specified portion of the video image. There are two forms of squeezeback — basic and enhanced. An over is an audio overlay. The MCPM mixes audio over and program audio at some ratio that can be pre-configured and also adjusted at the control panel.

    The decoders are (optional) third-party daughter cards. • MCE-DVE. The digital video effect cards are mezzanine (small) cards that can be added to the core and the preview cards for additional video effects and squeezeback. NV5100MC Master Control • SCP Operator’s Guide...
  • Page 24 2. Introduction MCE Summary MCEs have inputs and outputs similar to those for MCPMs, such as audio meter outputs, GPIO, clean-feed outputs, and emergency bypass capability. All MCEs have a reset switch, a bypass tog- gle (for the emergency bypass relay) and an diagnostic port at their front. The diagnostics port is a DE9, RS-232.

    These buses have direct access to program, preset, off-air signals (if cabled), and an auxil- iary input (if cabled) with dedicated level controls. Monitor A and monitor B each have a “Dim” function. NV5100MC Master Control • SCP Operator’s Guide...

    3. The Control Panel SCP Summary Panel Buttons Buttons appear in several colors and 3 brightness levels: off, low-tally, and high-tally. Buttons allow you to choose sources and video effects and to make menu selections. Some buttons display status. Pressing a button usually selects something. However, nothing happens when you push a button that is disabled or off and nothing happens when you push a button that merely dis- plays status.

    A bank select button allows the operator to switch between two banks of “virtual” buttons. With or without bank select, the number of virtual buttons is limited (by MCPM and MCE architec- ture) to 16. NV5100MC Master Control • SCP Operator’s Guide...
  • Page 30 3. The Control Panel Functional Sections of the SCP Main source buttons are usually green, high or low tally, except when a source is used as an audio breakaway. Then, it is violet. If a main source has a problem (e.g., LOS or non-sync), it is high amber when unselected and red when selected.

    You can change the transition rate and type using the menu (if the SCP configuration per- mits it). Transition Section on page 30 for more detail. See Transitions in the NV5100MC Master Control Reference Manual for additional information. Main Source Selection Figure 3-4 shows the default set of main source buttons of the program and preset buses: Figure 3 -4.

    3. The Control Panel Functional Sections of the SCP Depending on configuration, your SCP might have as many as 16 source buttons. It might have as many as 10 video effect buttons and 2 audio overs. Trade-offs will have been made. Some buttons might actually be unassigned.

    Intuition XG mixes its layers (as video and audio) before they reach the MCE. The MCE keyer assigned to the program bus then mixes the output of the Intuition XG processor with the MCE’s program output. NV5100MC Master Control • SCP Operator’s Guide...

  • Page 38: Audio Overs

    3. The Control Panel Functional Sections of the SCP The MCE might also mix a preview of the XG clip(s) onto the preset bus. Again, this depends on the configuration of the MCE. When the panel controls an MCE configured for Intuition XG, one or two of its keyers buttons becomes disabled, depending on the MCE configuration.

Some of the buttons are not enabled until their function is possible. For instance, an abort but- ton is not enabled until a pre-roll is actually executing.

  • Page 65: Cue

    When the main source device is a VTR, the ‘Abort’ button cancels a transition started with pre-roll. The operator must press ‘Abort’ during the pre-roll period for it to have any effect. If the pre-roll period is short, the operator can fail to abort the transition. NV5100MC Master Control • SCP Operator’s Guide...

    5. Operation Understanding LOS However, the built-in audio embedder will be bypassed (as illustrated here) because it is part of the video processor. The result is that the unprocessed embedded audio from the original source video signal will be heard as program audio output. Understanding LOS Loss of signal (LOS) can occur when an MCPM or MCE loses a main source, audio source, over source, keyer source, or squeeze background source altogether.

    Notes The MCPM or MCE configuration specifies the color of the Loss of Signal (LOS) matte. The color will be displayed when the MCPM or MCE experiences an LOS condition. Miranda recommends a highly recognizable color, other than black. The NV5128-MC outputs a matte signal upon loss of video: •...
