There are two separate processes to consider • Generating the Key signal • Using the Key signal Oxtel series products implement keying where the Key is contained in the luminance content of the SDI signal.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Front Panel Operations and uses this to “cut a hole” in the Background signal and the Fill is then simply added to this. An example of this is where the output of a signal generator requires high quality keying. If a Full key was used it may cause a darkened border around characters where the character edge on the Fill signal correlates with the character edge on the Key signal and the resultant Fill signal after multiplication would be parabolic.
Front Panel Operations Imagestore 750 User Manual Source Self key: When the source option is set to self, the key data is derived from the luminance content (Y value) of the "Fill" signal itself. Separate key: When the source option is set to separate, the key data is derived from the luminance content (Y value) of the separate "Key" image. None: When the source option is set to none the key for an image is set to white so that there is no image transparency.

Front Panel Operations Imagestore 750 User Manual Transparency Transparency controls the luminance content (grey scale value) of the key signal and therefore the amount of background video that will 'seep' through the keyed image. Typical CGT Values For optimum results set the CGT values to the following: • Clip 64 (Black level) • Gain 940 (Peak White) • Transparency 512 (Fully opaque) Clip and Gain values are in the range of 64 (black) to 940 (white).

Restart the Imagestore 750 by selecting ‘Software Reset’ or ‘Restart System’. Note: Changing the standard will probably invalidate the current reference offset.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Front Panel Operations Adjusting Reference Timing Warning: Reference timing should always be adjusted off-air since it can result in loss of picture in downstream equipment. Errors may occur in the SD-SDI or HD-SDI stream whilst the adjustment is taking place. The reference offset can be modified in units of your choice: • Line number + sample number • Line number + time Use the joystick arrows ⊳ to increase or decrease the line offset value.
Front Panel Operations Imagestore 750 User Manual The reason for this is that ancillary data such as timecode, captions and audio metadata may be missed by downstream equipment if they are not seen on the same line number that they were input on. Note that reference adjustment affects the line number marking of the output stream. It needs to be adjusted to match the input signal timing of the local facility.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Front Panel Operations Co-timed inputs will then have approximately half of a line buffered in their FIFOs. Any sources that arrive earlier or later will increase or reduce the FIFO depth respectively. Line lengths of SDI standards: • 525 NTSC 63.5µs • 625 PAL 64.0µs • 1080i/59.94Hz 29.6µs • 1080i/50 35.5µs • 720p/59.94Hz 22.2µs • 720p/50 26.7µs In our example, to buffer half a line of 1080i/59.94, increase the reference timing to: 0 ln +5.6 µs (+15µs) = 0 ln +20.6 µs.
Front Panel Operations Imagestore 750 User Manual Pass Close Cap Close caption information is usually passed through the Imagestore whatever this particular option is set to. The reason that the option exists is that when the standard is set as NTSC (525), close caption information is found within the active picture (lines 20/21), and so it will be destroyed when graphics are keyed over these lines.

Imagestore 750 User Manual Audio Mix Files Audio Mix Files The Audio Mix File is used to set up the Audio Mix Processor Engine. It specifies sets of audio sources or inputs (whether external AES, embedded or internal) to be mixed together and then assigns results to particular destinations or outputs (External AES, Embedded or Metering). The Imagestore 750 comes pre-loaded with a set of Mix Files for common audio configurations, selectable from the front panel.
Audio Mix Files Imagestore 750 User Manual A Input A/B Mixer Voice Over 1 Voice Over 2 B Input By using the same conceptual model, backwards compatibility with the Easysound audio automation protocol can be maintained; however, there are a few subtle differences. Internally, the Imagestore 750 has two voice-overs as opposed to the two stereo pairs in Imagestore 2.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Audio Mix Files Mix Files The mix file is used to specify sets of audio sources or inputs to be mixed together using certain rules and then assigning the result to a particular destination or output. Each of these sets of sources is referred to as a ‘mix’. There is no limit to the number of mixes contained in the mix file but the total number of sources added to all mixes must be less than or equal to 1024. The default mix file used is named “is23.mix”.
Audio Mix Files Imagestore 750 User Manual Gain Types Each input source must be assigned a cross-point gain type whenever it is added to a mix. The gain type defines the behaviour of the particular input as used in the conceptual model.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Audio Mix Files A_DATA_XP/B_DATA_XP The DATA_XP gain type result in zero or unity gains. The changeover occurs instantaneously at a pre-defined point during A/B transitions. Only one A_DATA_XP and B_DATA_XP should be used in any particular mix. An example mix file using a stereo data path can be found in the examples section. A_XP/B_XP The A_XP and B_XP gain types are used for the A and B inputs to the A/B mixer respectively.
Audio Mix Files Imagestore 750 User Manual EPLAY_XP The EPLAY_XP gain type only becomes active when Easyplay is playing an audio clip. A_UNITY_XP/B_UNITY_XP The A_UNITY_XP gain type will pass the input signal with no gain change. It follows any source changes applied to the A and B audio paths to provide accurate input previewing and is insensitive to A B transitions. Mute and Trim gains will be reflected.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Audio Mix Files Output Gain Types Each output can be assigned a cross-point gain type. The gain type defines the behaviour of the particular output as used in the conceptual model. If no gain type is specified, the output audio will be UNITY (unchanged). PROGRAM_GAIN Modify output gain by the value of the Program gain. PROGRAM_GAIN The PROGRAM_GAIN type will modify the output’s gain by the value of the program gain (set with the j103 automation command).
Audio Mix Files Imagestore 750 User Manual StartMix StartMix “” Creates a new mix with the name MixName. The name can be up to 256 characters. Sources added to this mix will be accumulated. This command can only be used as the first command or immediately after EndMix. AddToMix AddToMix Adds to the mix a named source with the specified gain type. This command can only be used after StartMix and before EndMix.

Audio Mix Files Imagestore 750 User Manual Enhanced Mix File Commands Whilst the basic set of mixfile commands is sufficient to configure the Imagestore 750, there are some extensions to these commands that provide advanced functionality. Input Bunch Profiles AddToMix AddToMix sources assigned in the mixfile and are usually fixed, however, there may be a need to change between sources during operation. Typically, this re-routing is known as ‘input shuffles’.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Audio Mix Files InputProfile field is a way of externally controlling the contents of the mix. The following example shows a mix. If the InputProfile of GainType A_XP bunch 0 is externally set to 0 then the AddToMix source A_G1_P1_L will be added to the OutputMix source AES_O_P1_L, however, if the value of GainType A_XP bunch 0 is externally set to 4 then AddToMix source A_G1_P1_R will be included in the mix.
Audio Mix Files Note: Imagestore 750 User Manual If the MixDown field is present, the InputProfile field should also be present. Where an InputProfile is not specified a value of 0 is used. Example: AddToMix B_G1_P1_R B_XP 0/2 This command line specifies that when the input source is included in the mix it will be attenuated by 50% before being added.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Audio Mix Files These two commands are equivalent. In both cases, the commands specify that the output of the current mix should only be routed to METER_5 when the MonitorProfile of MonitorType 2 (conventionally Meters) is set to 1.

Imagestore 750 User Manual Emergency Alert System Emergency Alert System EAS Overview EAS stands for Emergency Alert System. It is a system used in the United States to notify the general public of pending or imminent situations such as weather emergencies. It can also be used by the President of the United States to deliver a message. All television stations in the US are required to transmit EAS messages. Cable head-ends are also required to transmit EAS messages on all programmed channels.
Emergency Alert System 2. 3. Imagestore 750 User Manual Imagestore 750; this data includes the alert level and crawl data. An EAS alert message can be up to 2048 characters in length. The Imagestore 750 requires a GPI trigger to initiate and terminate the EAS alert. This GPI could come directly from the EAS receiver, from automation, or be a manually initiated trigger.

In this case a Dolby E encoder module is added into the configuration, and fed by external metadata from a serial RS485 communication port; however the metadata it could equally have been input from any other available metadata source. The metadata is then included within the Dolby E output via the PGM SDI stream. Page 362 Miranda Technologies Inc.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Dolby Decode/Encode Metadata Indirect AB-Switched Routing Next metadata is sourced from one of two RS485 inputs, depending on the position of the audio AB mixer. The metadata sources are cut at the half-way point of an audio AB mix. The metadata is then included within the Dolby E output via the PGM SDI stream as before. Note: Metadata that is generated internally by the Imagestore is set up via “Metadata Mode” within the Configurator tool. Miranda Technologies Inc.
Dolby Decode/Encode Imagestore 750 User Manual Metadata User-Defined Presets There are four user-defined metadata presets available in the Imagestore 750. The metadata presets form a complete list of all Metadata parameters. There are four internal Metadata sources, called “banks” or “processors”. User-defined preset parameters can be loaded into these metadata “banks”. The preset metadata parameters for are defined within the Configurator tool and transferred to the unit via a configuration file.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Dolby Decode/Encode Metadata Parameters Some metadata parameters are briefly described in this section. For full description of Dolby Metadata, refer to Dolby Metadata documentation: • SMPTE RDD 6-2008, “Description and Guide to the Use of the Dolby E Audio Metadata Serial Bitstream” • Dolby Labs “Metadata Guide” Metadata Tab The following parameters are found on the main left-hand pane of the Configuration Tool when in Metadata Mode.

Imagestore 750 User Manual Dolby Decode/Encode minimal impact when the Dolby Digital program is decoded to 5.1 channels, but provides a Lt/Rt output that can be Pro Logic® decoded to L, C, R, and S, if desired. However, for some phase-critical material (such as music) this phase shift is audible when listening in 5.1 channels. Likewise some material down-mixes to a satisfactory Lt/Rt signal without needing this phase shift. It is therefore important to balance the needs of the 5.
Dolby Decode/Encode Imagestore 750 User Manual Profile This field indicates the RF compression word of the AC-3 bitstream associated with the specified program. The setting allows the program provider (or broadcaster) to implement a large dynamic range reduction (heavy compression) in a way which assures that a monophonic downmix will not exceed a certain peak level.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Dolby Decode/Encode System Delays Dolby Delays As already stated on page 352, Dolby decoding and encoding takes time to perform.
Dolby Decode/Encode Imagestore 750 User Manual Metadata Delays There are several metadata use-cases: • Pass-through: Metadata incurs the same delay as audio • Insert at output: Metadata is used directly at the Dolby encoder For correct operation, the user must set up the unit to match the audio, video and metadata frame delays. Video Delay Blocks The Imagestore 750 has three video output delays which are positioned downstream of the keyers.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Dolby Decode/Encode Each delay block can provide from 1 to 32767 audio samples of delay, where the audio sample rate is 48KHz. This gives over 16 video frames of delay per audio delay block, although the actual delay in frames depends upon the frame rate for the current video standard as follows: • 50Hz standards 17.06 frames audio delay • 59.94Hz standards 20.
Dolby Decode/Encode Imagestore 750 User Manual Automation Control Automation commands can be used to control some aspects of the audio modules and to change internal metadata source values.

Imagestore 750 User Manual Up-Mix Up-Mix This section contains information relating to the Imagestore 750 Up-Mix from stereo to 5.1 surround. Introduction Up-Mix is the solution for dealing with 2-channel audio in a 5.1-channel environment and the Up-Mix audio option adds integral up-mix functionality into the Imagestore 750. This is used to create a multi-channel compatible audio signal from a stereo source. The up-mixing employed supports the Linear Acoustic upMAXTM up-mixing algorithm.
Up-Mix Imagestore 750 User Manual Up-Mix Configurations There can be up to four Up-Mix modules installed within an Imagestore 750. Product codes allow various combinations to be built up. Up-Mix can be positioned before or after the AB mix engine, as required. Page 382 Miranda Technologies Inc.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Up-Mix Product Codes Product codes for Imagestore 750 are as follows: • IS-750-UMX Up-mix kit • IS-750-UMX-UPG Up-mix upgrade The complete set of Imagestore 750 Product Codes is listed on page 47. Up-Mix Kit Code The IS-750-UMX product code is available at factory build time and provides the Up-Mix kit option.
Up-Mix Imagestore 750 User Manual Technical Specifications Inside an Imagestore 750 that is fitted with an Up-Mix kit, there is a carrier card fitted which contains four available slots for Up-Mix or Dolby modules. There are no specific slots for Up-Mix modules because the Imagestore 750 detects the modules’ presence and type automatically. The Up-Mix audio module supports the Linear Acoustic upMAXTM 5.1 channel surround-field synthesizer under license.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Up-Mix Up-Mix Mode In this mode, a multi-channel audio signal is synthesized from a stereo audio input. From Metadata Mode In this mode, the control of up-mixing or passthrough is steered by metadata. This allows automated stereo/surround switching between inputs when the input source contains same-source audio transitions. Please see page 389 for more details. Miranda Technologies Inc.
Up-Mix Imagestore 750 User Manual AutoMAXTM Mode This mode will automatically switch between stereo and 5.1 at its input to provide 5.1 output at all times. This ensures a fully automatic delivery of 5.1 audio to the consumer. Note: When AutoMAX™ is enabled, the input channels 1-2 (L/R) are always up-mixed onto outputs 1-6 (L/R/C/LFE/Ls/Rs). If input channels 3-6 are also present then these signals are mixed onto the up-mixed C/LFE/Ls/Rs outputs.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Up-Mix Up-Mix Module Firmware Upgrading Firmware for the Up-Mix modules is included within the Imagestore 750 software release. A module’s firmware will be upgraded automatically during a software update, but only when an update is required. However, it is worth noting that Up-Mix module firmware upgrades are relatively slow compared with other parts of the software/firmware upgrade process. Note: Each Up-Mix module firmware upgrade can take 3-4 minutes to complete.
Up-Mix Imagestore 750 User Manual Configuring Up-Mix via Route Manager The Route Manager is part of the Configurator tool, a Windows graphical user interface tool which ships within the Miranda Conversion Software (MCS) CD. This allows the engineering user to configure various aspects of the Imagestore, including the audio setup. The Route Manager is the recommended tool for designing audio configurations that incorporate Up-Mix modules.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Up-Mix Connecting Up-Mix Modules The following diagram shows how an Up-Mix module might be inserted within the Route Manager tool. In this example, the inputs may be in stereo or 5.1 surround. Connecting Metadata to Up-Mix Modules Next we need a way to control the Up-Mix module dependent on whether the input is stereo or 5.1 surround. This is so the module can know whether to up-mix the input, or pass it straight through.

Imagestore 750 User Manual Up-Mix Metadata Dolby metadata contains information about the audio bit-stream including what configuration of “programs” is being carried; for example 5.1 + 2. As such, Dolby metadata may be used to drive an Up-Mix processor. Metadata may be carried within Dolby signal on AES or SDI or separately on a RS485 serial connection.
Up-Mix Imagestore 750 User Manual The preset metadata parameters for are defined within the Configurator tool and transferred to the unit via a configuration file. Once transferred, individual user-defined preset files can then be loaded into the internal metadata “banks” via automation. Once a user-defined preset is loaded into an internal “bank”, its values can be over-ridden by subsequent automation commands. This does not affect the original user-defined preset, just the values currently in use.
Imagestore 750 User Manual Software Update Software Update Files The software update procedure requires the following files: • CPIO archive is750-2.0.1.cpio • ZIP file is750-update-v20.5.zip The CPIO archive provides the software update image.
