Grass Valley iTX Master Control v.2.3 - Manual (Page 7)

iTX-MC User Guide 1-3
Introduction
A/B source mixing and local secondary event insertion: The Imagestore 750
provides the A/B switching of signals from the station router based on the scheduled events
being run by the iTX automation system, or the manual operations performed on the iMC
master control panel.
The Imagestore 750 also provides the ability to perform downstream insertion of logo or
voice-over assets which are native to the Imagestore 750.
Traditional master control integration: The iMC panel is directly connected to the
Imagestore 750 master control and channel branding processor via Ethernet. The
Imagestore 750 is fed A/B program sources by an upstream router, with control from playout
automation by an Ethernet connection. The router is controlled by the Imagestore 750 via
a NVISION 9000 controller.
The iMC master control panel provides operators with the manual control of the Imagestore
750’s PGM bus, which permits them to insert or override scheduled programming with live
incoming video.
Operators can also manually control the iTX schedule using the iMC panel’s Automation
Assist buttons (T

optional piece of equipment that can be used to insert rich branding graphics to the
Imagestore 750’s keyer layers.
