• Router destinations
• Router sources.
• Intuition XG graphics co-processor providing fill and key signals.
• Channel acquisition and ownership.
• Monitor wall (optional).
Version 1.5, or later, of the Imagestore 750 Configurator is required if you are to support these
features.
Configuration of the Imagestore 750’s master control option is described in the following
sections and partially involves other components of the iMC master control system (e.g., the
NV9000 router control system and the iMC panels). These other components are mentioned
where they are part of the steps of Imagestore 750 configuration.
NV9000’s IP Address
The IP address of the NV9000 router control system is an essential part of the Imagestore 750
configuration. Without it, the software cannot configure the sources, destinations and salvos for
the router and the Imagestore 750 cannot function in the master control system. The IP address
may be a physical IP address (if you have a stand-alone NV9000 system controller), or a “virtual”
IP address (when you have a redundant pair of NV9000s).
Note: This document does not address the configuration of the NV9000 router control system.
Please refer to the NV9000 documentation, specifically the NV9000-SE Utilities Users Guide, listed
under
Applicable Publications and Tools on page 3.
Channel Sources
Routers come in many different sizes, from a very few to thousands of sources and destinations.
A channel processor might require access to video signals from all of the available router
sources, or (for large routers) a subset of them. The Imagestore 750’s master control configura-
tion allows the required router sources to be included in a list known as the channel sources.
These sources are made available for the channel processor to use.
The names (e.g., VTR 23) of channel sources are automatically retrieved from the NV9000 router
control system. The NV9000’s source name can be overridden (mapped) in the Imagestore 750
master control configuration by locally defined names. These source names allow iMC control
panels to represent router sources in human-readable form on button legends.
 The names of channel sources must be ASCII.
Within the master control configuration, you can define audio gain and audio shuffle presets for
each channel source. These allow each source to be independently gain-adjusted or shuffle-
adjusted to compensate for any upstream audio faults or peculiarities.
Channel sources are updated dynamically following any changes to the router sources in the
NV9000 router control system. When the name of a router source changes in the NV9000, the
equivalent channel source name is automatically updated on an iMC panel (assuming it was not
overridden with a locally defined name). When a router source is deleted from the NV9000, it is
still visible on the iMC panel but can no longer be selected. If new router sources are added to
the NV9000, they will not be seen at the iMC panel because they are not available in one of the
pre-defined source groups.
