MAESTRO Installation and Service Manual

Section 5 — The Maestro Configuration Editor

Maestro RCS Interconnection

This column shows a software-generated list of all Maestro inputs. This list
refers to the connectors on the rear panel.

BkgdA-C

BkgdA, BkgdB, and BkgdC are the inputs for the PGM, PST and AUX
buses; however, there is no one-to-one relationship between an input
and a Maestro bus. For example, the selected source on the PGM bus
could be routed to Maestro through the BkgdA, Bkgd B or Bkgd C
input, as needed. The same is true for the sources selected on the PST
and AUX buses.

Bkgd D

This input is used to route a source which contains embedded audio for
use in an audio breakaway. Embedded audio is contained in the video
source and requires a video input. If the BkgdD interconnection is not
defined, an audio breakaway, with embedded audio, will not be avail-
able.

Key1-4 Cut/Key1-4 Fill

These inputs are for the four external key sources. A key cut/key fill
input pair is available for each.

Note

There are only four physical connections on the rear panel for the Key cut/Key
fill pairs. Although these four connections may be assigned to any four of the
eight available keyers.

Audio Over 1-4

These inputs are used to route sources for audio overs.

Note

There are only two physical connections on the rear panel for audio overs
although these two connections may be associated with any two of the four
available audio overs.

Although there are only two inputs on the rear panel for AES audio
overs, all four audio mixers may be used if a Sonata AES-to-MADI con-
verter is used to convert AES sources to MADI.

AssignSRC 1-16

In some master control implementations, it is desirable to display the
sources that are assigned to the 16 Maestro background buttons, which are
on the monitor wall. Router outputs may be assigned to AssignSRC1 -
AssignSRC16, which will display the source assigned to the corresponding
background button on the monitor display connected to the designated
router output.
