Overview
Miranda’s iMC master control system has many modular parts and provides many options. You
can order a master control system that is optimal for your facility. It can change with your needs.
The Imagestore 750’s master control option ( IS-750-Master-Control ) gives you a powerful master
control switching and branding system designed specifically for automated, multi-channel envi-
ronments. The Imagestore 750 controls upstream router switching through a Miranda NV9000
router control system, and interfaces with Miranda’s iMC control panels which allow manual
preview and override of channels.
At the heart of a master control system are transition processors: MCEs and Imagestore 750s.
MCEs reside in NV5100MC frames; the Imagestore 750 stands by itself as a 1RU processor. The
iMC system can be composed 3 ways:
1 Imagestore 750s transition processors (a.k.a. “channel branding processors”), an NV9000
router control system, and iMC control panels.
The Imagestore 750s can be used with Intuition XG graphics processors for advanced graph-
ics effects.
2 MCEs (master control engines) residing in NV5100MC frames, control panels, and optionally
an NV9000 router control system.
The MCEs can also be used with Intuition XG graphics processors for advanced graphics
effects.
3 A combination of 1 and 2.
Each channel processor provides the output for a single broadcast channel (or backup channel)
by taking video (with embedded audio) signals from an upstream router, mixing signals and
superimposing graphics that brand the channel.
Imagestore 750s always control the upstream router sources through an NV9000 router control
system and the router(s) in turn provides the video and audio inputs to the Imagestore 750s.
