7. Misc. Topics

Notes

For animation loops, one can define the pause length (in frames) that occurs after each loop run
concludes. Refer to the NV5128-MC MasterLogo User’s Guide for information.

Enhanced squeezeback

available in the MCPM-SDHD only

adds a second image layer and

optionally its audio.

Luma filter

A low-pass filter to the luminance signal that removes the chroma information. The filter is used
primarily with self keys to generate an improved keyer signal by removing the chroma information.

MCPM

Master control processing module.

MCE

Master control engine.

Self key

A process in which a keyer uses the fill to generate its own key (mask).

Squeezeback

A transition function that shrinks the program image so that a new image (the background) is
revealed. Basic squeezeback has two forms: scaled and cropped.

S-shaping

Signal shaping is the process of smoothing signal levels (producing an “S” shaped curve) as with
key values, for example. (Other signals can undergo S-shaping.)

Vertigo XG

A single- or dual-channel HD/SD graphics processor.

XG clip,
XG media clip

A term used in this document to refer to one of the video and audio sequences stored in, and played
by, the Intuition XG processor. An XG clip is a programmed composition of video, static and ani-
mated graphics, audio, and text (which can be derived from live data).

XG Dashboard

Configuration tool for Intuition XG.

XMedia

A collection of configuration and creative software used with Intuition XG.

Xbuilder

“Template population” and “promo timeline control” software for Intuition XG.

XPlay

A “media event sequencer” used to configure the Intuition XG and to manage clips. Xplay must be
running on the Intuition XG processor for correct operation under master control.

Xstudio

“Template creation” software for Intuition XG.

Notes

Alarms

The iMC-Panel-100 produces two levels of alarm output:

• Major alarm:

A failure of any circuit board.
Failure of both power supplies.

• Minor alarm:

Failure of one power supply.
Fan failure or over temperature.

The alarm outputs appear on the GPI/Alarm connector on the rear of the panel. The alarm outputs
are SPDT relay terminals (NC, NO, COM) as are the GPI output terminals on the connector. What
the alarm relays operate, if anything, is determined by the customer.
