Features

Graphics Co-Processors

Note: Some of the commands listed above are not supported by the Intuition XG, but are
included to support alternative (legacy) slave devices.

To configure an Imagestore 750 to forward commands onto a graphics co-processor, connect a
serial link between the Imagestore 750 and the co-processor. Set the protocol and Baud rate for
the serial port as follows:

Setup > Serial Comms > Serial Ports > COM x > Protocol > Oxtel Slave

Setup > Serial Comms > Serial Ports > COM x > Baud Rate > 19200

(e.g., for Intuition-XG).

For the Imagestore 750 to know what is on the Intuition XG’s program and cue, the Imagestore
750 must be set to get the “correct” tallies from the Intuition XG. To do this, configure:

Setup > Slave > Slave Type > Int-XG

Note that the Imagestore 750 also has the ability to control a co-processor over a network. This
can be set up in the ‘slave’ section of the Imagestore 750 Configurator or using the Imagestore
750’s front panel

Setup

menu.

Automatic Keyer Management

Automatic keyer management options can be used in conjunction with command forwarding
to simplify the control of Imagestore 750 and graphics co-processor keying layers.

Whenever the Imagestore 750 receives a command from automation to cut up a layer on the co-
processor, the automatic keyer management options permit a ‘Load Live’ to occur with the asso-
ciated keying layer on the Imagestore 750 being cut up automatically. Also, if automation cuts
down all co-processor layers, the Imagestore 750 can cut down the associated keying layer and
turn off ‘Load Live’.

Set up the automatic keyer management options in the Imagestore 750 Configurator or using
the following front panel menu options:

Setup > Slave > Keyer Assign

Assigns automatic keyer management to one keying layer of the Imagestore 750.

Setup > Slave > Keyer Follow Up
