Imagestore HDTV User Manual Overview
Miranda Technologies Ltd Page 35
Imagestore HDTV is highly suited to automated broadcast environments and
remote control options include RS422/RS232, as well as GPI and analogue
fader inputs.
Mechanical Bypass
In the event of power loss to the Imagestore HDTV, or failure of an internal
power supply, the mechanical video relay bypass option (VRB-HD-001)
routes the serial digital “background signal” directly to the programme
output. This feature is an emergency failsafe and is completely non-
synchronous in operation. During boot-up, the bypass is maintained until
Imagestore HDTV is fully operational.
Emergency Alert System
Imagestore HDTV supports Emergency Alert Systems providing the relevant
licence is installed.
The 2 EAS models supported are:
♦ Sage ENDEC Model 1822
♦ TFT EAS 911T
To configure a communication port to accept the EAS data stream refer to the
Serial Comms Setup section on page 138.
Dual 2D DVE
IP2-HD-2DVE is a dual-channel 2D DVE option capable of digital video
effects on both the A and B input video streams, making it ideal for picture-
in-picture applications such as over the shoulder news transitions, as well as
squeezes for credits, news flashes, sports results and schedules.
Clock Insertion
The Bugclock option allows Imagestore HDTV to insert customised in-vision
clocks. A wide range of clocks and timers can be generated, with hour,
minute and second indications. Fully customised clocks can be produced
offline using the Clock Builder (part of the MCS Media Conversion software
package). Bugclock can be locked to station LTC or VITC timecode. Clocks
