2. Introduction Chapter 2 is a broad introduction to the installation of a master control system.
2. Introduction Summary Summary A master control system is moderately complex, involving a number of hardware components, software applications, documentation, computers, networks, and several options. One such option is whether to operate the master control switcher in conjunction with an NV9000 router control system. Figure 2-1 represents the components of an NV5100MC master control system. Router Automation NV9000 Control Panels... Master Control Automation NV5128-MC or NV5100MC Frames...
2. Introduction Summary vides higher throughput. Each frame has 8 input card slots, 8 output card slots, and two control card slots. MCPMs and MCEs occupy output card slots. Master control frames can also contain relatively small multi-format routers (MFRs). The MCPMs and MCEs can work closely in conjunction with the MFR. Master control frames have I/O backplanes. Each input card and output card has a corresponding backplane module. The backplane module presents the I/O connectors for the I/O card.
2. Introduction Frames Intuition XG Miranda’s Intuition XG processor (with its associated Xmedia software) can be integrated with the master control system. The Intuition XG subsystem includes a graphics processor that stores, and plays out, video keys on two channels. It can access “live” data including feeds from wire services. Coupled with master control, the Intuition XG processor delivers from one to four XG media clips simultaneously to one MCE.
2. Introduction Frames system. The time-code reference connector does not apply under master control, but might be used by the MFR. S An SMS7000 requires a mezzanine addition to the router control card. Refer to Control Connections on page 50 for details. Each frame has two power supply bays. One power supply is sufficient. Use two for power supply redundancy. The power connectors are AC jacks. Each supports 90–130 V, 180–250 V, 50/60 Hz. The frame may draw 660 W maximum.
2. Introduction Frames The numbering of the slots is sequential, from 1 to 16, but the connector numbers in slots 13–16 are in reverse order.
2. Introduction Frames Motherboard The motherboard distributes the 128 input signals from the backplane to the router output cards (if any) and to the MCPMs and MCEs (which always go in output slots). Figure 2-3 is a simplified block diagram of a sample master control frame. In this example, the MCPM and MCE occupy two output slots each, leaving room for 4 router output cards.
2. Introduction Frames S The MCPM-SDHD has an additional crosspoint that, in conjunction with an MFR, can distribute SWB inputs to 16 SWB outputs. SWB output cards fit in the single “wing” of the MCPMSDHD. Refer to Master Control Processors on page 13 for more information. Local Input and Router Input There are several ways to connect video and audio devices to the frame’s inputs: • Static, direct or local connection.
2. Introduction Master Control Processors Master Control Processors MCPMs and MCEs are the devices that perform master control switching and mixing. There are two categories: • MCPMs — master control processing modules. • MCEs — master control engines (called “next generation” master control). There are several models: MCPM-SD SD video. 3 keyers, 2 logos, 1 squeezeback generator, 2 slots. MCPM-HD, MCPM-HD2 HD video. 3 keyers, 2 logos, 1 squeezeback generator, 4 slots. Supports 2 wing output cards.
2. Introduction Master Control Processors MCPMs and MCEs occupy output slots. You can have as many as you can fit in a frame. (For example, an MCPM-HD takes 4 slots. You can have two MCPM-HDs in a frame.) MCEs range from 1 to 3 cards. A 3-card MCE takes 3 slots. You can have two in a frame, with one slot remaining for some other module in each output bay. The NV5100MC frame allows eight 1-slot MCEs. MCEs MCEs are called the “next generation” of master control transition processors.
2. Introduction Control Panels • MCEs have 2 clean feed outputs; MCPMs have 1 clean feed output. • MCEs have 2 aux outputs and 2 (video) source inputs; MCPMs do not have these. • Most MCE outputs (video or audio) carry 16 embedded audio channels. The exception to this is that the MCE-AXM backplane provides 24 AES outputs (12 pairs). MCPM audio output varies depending on the output. Certain MCPMs offer analog audio monitoring output. • MCEs have preview and aux buses. MCPMs do not.
2. Introduction NV9000 The SCP, in particular, uses color coding heavily. The function of each button is configurable and the color of the button (red, orange, green, blue, magenta, white) gives an indication of its function. The functions (and colors) of many SCP buttons can change with context. Software control panels (GUIs) differ from hardware panels. The CECP GUI emulates the CECP. The PC GUI emulates the FFCP.
2. Introduction NV9000 This diagram identifies the default NIC ports in the -02 and -10 versions: Control Net House Net Panel/Router 1 NV9000 System Master Control Panel/Router 2 COM1 (RS-232) This diagram identifies the default NIC ports in the obsolete -00 version: Control Net House Net COM1 (RS-232) NV9000 System Master Control Panel/Router 2 Panel/Router 1 There are stand-alone or redundant systems. A redundant system includes a primary controller and a secondary controller.
2. Introduction NV9000 UniConfig UniConfig is the application for configuring router partitions either in the MFR in the master control frame or in external routers controlled by the NV9000 system. S If you understand NV9000 architecture (and know what you want to accomplish), using UniConfig takes about a minute for each router and thereafter need not be used. MFR Skip this if you have no MFR in your master control frame. You must also have a router control card (EM0374) in the frame.
2. Introduction I/O Cards S Master control can use up to 10 NV9000 device categories and the indexes within those categories. It does not recognize category suffixes. The NV9000 configuration must accommodate this minor limitation of the master control software. I/O Cards The master control system uses input cards. Its MCPMs and MCEs are its output modules. Some MCPMs (-HD, -HD2, -SDHD) accommodate wing output cards.
2. Introduction I/O Cards Summary for NV5100MC Use only SWB or 3Gig cards in slots 5–8. Use any card in slots 9–12. The frame supports up to 8 HD MCEs. Summary for NV5128-MC The NV5128-MC does not support 3Gig. It can have at most 1 SWB card. SD input cards and audio cards for SD can go in any slot. HD input cards go in slots 5–8. Audio cards for HD and for MCEs must go in input slots 9–12.
2. Introduction I/O Cards Case 2: An MCPM-HD with 64 HD inputs, an MCPM-SD with 32 inputs, and 32 audio inputs. The frame may be an NV5128-MC or an NV5100MC. PRI CTRL SEC CTRL CTRL 1 CTRL 1 CTRL 2 CTRL 2 DIAG DIAG AES REF 1 Note that the MCPM-HD is a 4-slot module but its backplane module occupies only two slots. The other two backplane slots would be used for SWB output backplanes if the MCPM-HD were to include wing output cards.
2. Introduction I/O Cards Analog Audio Input Module The module is designed for balanced analog audio signals. On-board DIP switches allow the gain of each channel to be raised +6dB to accommodate lowlevel or single-ended input channels. See Analog Audio Switches and Jumpers on page 121. System clocks are supplied by the frame’s control card. The conversion rate is nominally 48 kHz. The frame can be locked to an external AES reference. The backplane module for analog audio input has 4 DB25 connectors.
2. Introduction I/O Cards Analog Video The Analog Video Conversion (AVC) input card converts incoming composite analog video signals (NTSC or PAL) to SD video. S MCEs do not accept analog video input (even though it is converted to SD at the input card). SD MCPMs do. Because analog video input is not defined for HD, HD MCPMs also do not. Analog Video Conversion Input Module Each of the 16 composite video inputs from the backplane module is received by a differential input amplifier.
2. Introduction I/O Cards Old SWB 16-Input Backplane and Input Modules The SWB input card accepts a wide range of data rates, both HD and SD. The SWB backplanes contain active circuitry that performs cable equalization (up to 150 m). SWB input cards support 16 inputs. An SWB input card buffers the automatically equalized inputs from the backplane and feeds the 16 input signals to the motherboard.
2. Introduction Control Cards 3GIG 16-Input Backplane and Input Modules The 3GIG input card accepts a wide range of data rates (3Gig, HD and SD). The 3Gig backplanes contain active circuitry that performs cable equalization (up to 150 m). The 3Gig input cards support 16 inputs. A 3Gig input card buffers the automatically equalized inputs from the backplane and feeds the 16 input signals to the motherboard. The 3Gig input backplanes have 16 BNC connectors.
2. Introduction Power Supply EM0414 The EM0414 is an AES clock generator card. It also includes processing circuitry for the video and AES reference inputs. It does not perform any router control functions. It does not have an Ethernet circuit. It requires no configuration other than jumper settings. See EM0414 Jumpers on page 121 for more information. Power Supply The PS61003 power supply module accepts a wide range of AC input voltages and produces five identical outputs.
2. Introduction Intuition XG Figure 2-4 shows the location of the fuse on either power supply module. 8A 250V Fuse Figure 2-4. Fuse Location, PS6000 or PS6100 Power Supply S Replacing the fuse without determining what caused it to fail could cause equipment damage or fire by restoring power to an already damaged unit. Intuition XG Intuition XG is a master control option. Intuition XG systems can stand on their own independently. Master control is enhanced by it but does not require it.
2. Introduction Intuition XG • Large capacity storage. • Simultaneous playout of multiple clips. • One or two outputs. SD output as NTSC or PAL. HD output as 1080i, 720p or 480p. • Full integration with the Xmedia suite for graphics automation. • 16-channel audio. • Automation. Integration with MCE The XG processor delivers two channels of HD or SD video (each with fill and key and up to 16 audio channels) to the MCE. Audio reaches the MCE through the keyer fill input dedicated to the XG channel.
2. Introduction Intuition XG Connections This diagram shows the Intuition XG connections: Config XStudio, XPlay, XG Dashboard, and Database MCE NV5100MC Channel 1 (Fill, Key) Channel 2 (Fill, Key) Intuition XG Vref. Master Control Ethernet Vref. SWB In Panels... The Intuition XG processor and the MCE communicate on the master control network. The Intuition XG processor delivers one or two (fill, key) pairs to the master control system through an SWB card (a requirement).
2. Introduction Ancillary Hardware Ancillary Hardware EBCP All MCPMs have emergency bypass capability. Under certain conditions (e.g., malfunction, powerup, external switch) an MCPM or MCE enters bypass mode with this effect: alternative video and audio signals are switched to program output. When the MCPM or MCE leaves bypass mode, normal output resumes.
2. Introduction Other Topics the tally processor can sense master control events such as main source selections and transitions. It can also trigger master control events. Multiple tally processors can be added to a master control network. The product includes a selfcontained configuration utility program that operates as a browser application.
2. Introduction Other Topics S Miranda offers a third-party tally processor that extends the GPIO functions of the master control system. Reference A master control frame’s router control cards can receive video reference signals for the MFR. Individual MCPMs accept video reference also. The frame can accept an AES reference for the MFR and for master control. Video Reference Video reference to the frame applies only when there is an MFR in the frame.
2. Introduction Other Topics Monitoring MCPMs, MCEs, and master control panels provide a number of monitoring ports for video and audio. There are differences among the various models.
2. Introduction Other Topics MCEs that include preview cards can present preview output (video plus 16 embedded audio channels). Presently, preview port B is a replica of the single preview output that appears on port A. MCEs have two clean-feed outputs A and B. MCPMs have one. There are 7 clean-feed taps in the processing pipeline. You can choose the tap in MasterConfig.
2. Introduction Installation Process in Brief Installation Process in Brief The installation process follows these basic steps: 1 Unpack your Miranda equipment, checking for contents, damage, or defects. Gather together all your other equipment, software, and tools. 2 Load the configuration software onto your configuration PC(s). If you have GUI software, load that onto one or more GUI PC. The GUI PC may the same as the configuration PC. 3 Establish how you want to connect everything.

3. Software Installation Chapter 3 describes software installation. This chapter presents the following steps: • Preliminary Steps • Installing Configuration Applications • Installing Documentation. • Installing the GUI. • Other Software. Preliminary Steps Obtain and set up a Windows PC (XP, Vista, or Windows 7) for configuration. If you intend to use a software control panel (GUI), obtain and set up a Windows PC for the GUI. It can be the same PC.
3. Software Installation Installing Configuration Applications If you have an NV9000 system, one or more of your configuration PCs should be connected on the NV9000’s house network. The PCs must be configured with IP addresses on that network. The software and documentation CD is SB0221. This CDs supports both NV5100MC and NV5128-MC master control products. The (optional) GUI CD is SB0222. This CDs provides only the NV5100MC GUI, a.k.a. the CECP GUI. The latest software revision is 6.3.4.0.
3.

4. Hardware Installation Chapter 4 describes hardware installation. It presents these topics: • Preliminary Thoughts • Local Sources • Control Connections • NV9000 Sources • Alarm Connections • Master Control Network • Power • Intuition XG Preliminary Thoughts Hardware installation means (1) placing equipment and (2) interconnecting equipment. Configuration is, in a real sense, part of hardware installation, but it is covered in Chapter 5, Configuration, on page 77.
4. Hardware Installation Control Connections Monitor walls, re-routing, and obscenity control, and “glue” devices are other issues you will face. This guide cannot address those topics. We refer you to Miranda’s application notes AN0004 and AN0013 that discuss some of these ideas. Miranda offers a third-party tally processor that might be of use in your system. A tally processor is counted a control panel in the number of control panels accessing an MCE or MCPM.
4. Hardware Installation Control Connections The master control frame (NV5100MC or NV5128-MC) has two control card slots and therefore two control cards potentially. The second control card is for redundancy. A control card can be either an EM0374 router control card or an EM0414 clock card. The EM0374 is required if the frame contains a router. Otherwise, the clock card is sufficient. S The control cards have switch settings. See Control Card Jumpers on page 120 for how to set the switches.
4. Hardware Installation Control Connections 3 If you have a redundant (secondary) NV9000 system controller (with a serial protocol), connect the primary CTRL2 port to a COM port on the redundant system controller. Similarly connect the secondary CTRL2 port if your frame has a secondary control card.
4. Hardware Installation Control Connections Ethernet Ports The Ethernet connectors are used when you have an NV9000 router control system connected over Ethernet. for Primary Control Card for Secondary Control Card S The Ethernet connectors are needed only when a router is present in the frame and a Ethernet control protocol is in use. S Above the Ethernet ports are 10base2 connectors. Ignore these. They are not used.
4. Hardware Installation Control Connections AES Reference AES reference connectors allow you to sync AES audio in the master control frame to your house reference. If you do not supply an external AES reference, the control card itself will generate its own 48kHz reference. for Primary Control Card for Secondary Control Card AES Ref, BNC AES Ref, Phoenix There are two pairs of connectors for AES reference — one for the primary control card and one for the secondary control card.
4. Hardware Installation Control Connections If (and only if) you are using an SMS7000 router control system with the master control system, connect the SMS7000 to the NVISION aux bus connector. The frame has two aux bus connections. The connection is loop-through: you can pass the SMS7000 “node bus” control signals on to another device. You can connect a redundant control system on the “node bus.” If you are using an SMS7000 control system, terminate the “node bus” with a 50Ω terminator.
4. Hardware Installation Alarm Connections Redundant Reference Signals In this mode, both reference inputs are driven with identical but separate reference signals. At startup, the control card checks both inputs for valid signals. If both inputs are good, it uses reference input 1. If this input fails, the controller automatically selects reference input 2. If input 1 is subsequently restored, the router will continue to use input 2 until the control card is reset.
4. Hardware Installation Alarm Connections The internal alarm signalling is provided by solid-state relays that turn on in the event of an alarm condition. This table describes the individual alarm connections: Pin Signal Description Possible Alarm Condition(s) 1, 9 Alarm Com Common Common connection for all alarm signalling pins. This is a “return” for an external circuit.
4. Hardware Installation Power The frame has one alarm output for each power supply installed in the frame. (If a power supply module is removed, the alarm circuit is also.) An internal solid-state relay is provided for each supply. The relay turns on when there is an alarm condition. Figure 4-3 shows typical power alarm circuits. You can use signalling devices other than LEDs or or lamps. For example, you can operate a buzzer or other audible alarm to warn operators of a potential problem. +5V n.c.
4. Hardware Installation Local Sources Fuses for both AC power inputs are located on their respective power supplies. Ensure that the fuse ratings comply with specific requirements in your area. A 7.5A fuse is required for 110/120VAC applications. For 220/240VAC operation, a 3.75A fuse is required. For increased protection against loss of power, we suggest that each power supply be connected to a separate branch circuit.
4. Hardware Installation Local Sources • Audio overs — AES, up to 4. These audio sources compose the audio over, “off-air,” and “aux” inputs. All other discrete audio sources are treated as belonging to a main video source. It is possible for each audio over to consume 8 inputs per MCE/MCPM. S An MCE or MCPM-SDHD has an over dedicated to audio from squeezeback image 2. S An MCE configured for Intuition XG has an over dedicated to XG audio (called the XG over).
4. Hardware Installation Local Sources Potentially, all 128 inputs could be video with embedded audio for SD systems. That would be 64 inputs for HD systems. If you run out of inputs, it is possible to use a small router (such as Miranda’s compact routers) or a patch panel to multiplex sources onto a single input. Implied is that the control (or patch) panel is quite near the MC panel. DIN-to-BNC breakout panels are available. The part number for these 1RU panels is NV5100MCBOP.
4. Hardware Installation Local Sources Embedded Audio Video with embedded audio is either SD or HD. Straight AES or Dolby E. MCPMs accept up to 4 AES pairs (8 channels). MCEs accept up to 16 channels (8 pairs) but currently process only the first 8 and pass the second 8 through to output unprocessed. You’ll configure the main source in MasterConfig according to the particular details of the embedded audio. You can mix embedded Dolby, embedded AES, and discrete audio (analog or AES).
4. Hardware Installation Local Sources Up to 32 squeeze sources (32 video inputs) may be defined for each MCE or MCPM. These may be local sources (not for MCEs), main sources, or internal black. It is possible for multiple MC processors in a single master control frame to use entirely different inputs. You probably want to avoid that situation. Connect your analog squeeze source to a BNC of one of your analog video input backplane modules.
4. Hardware Installation NV9000 Sources NV9000 Sources There are two ways for master control to access NV9000 sources: router pre-select and external router sources. Router pre-select applies to main sources and audio over sources. External router sources may be main sources, keyer sources, squeeze sources, and over sources. The behavioral difference between router pre-select and external router sources is described in the NV5100MC Master Control Reference Manual.
4. Hardware Installation NV9000 Sources Although it is not strictly a master control topic, a redundant NV9000 system also requires a crossover Ethernet cable between the control ports and a serial cable between the COM1 ports on each NV9000 controller. This shows the COM1 port and the default location of the control network port: COM1 (RS-232) Control Net Router Pre-Select Router pre-selection applies to main sources and over sources.
4. Hardware Installation NV9000 Sources The illustration above shows a main source. Over sources are similar, but all the connections are audio. S For video sources, if you have an HD MCPM and SD MCPM in the same frame, it is not likely that they can share the same connectors. S Squeeze background sources and squeeze image 2 sources can be selected from the set of main sources. These can include router pre-select sources.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network Master Control Network The master control network connects MCPMs, MCEs, master control panels, and (optionally) configuration PCs and tally processors. If you are using an NV9000 control system, it is also connected on the master control network. The master control frame is not on the network. Before you connect MCPMs or MCEs to the Ethernet switch of the network, use MasterDiag to assign (through their diagnostic ports) their IP addresses.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network MCPMs Before you can place an MCPM on the master control network, you must assign it an IP address. Doing so requires a straight-through serial cable and MasterDiag in serial mode. This is the cable connection: 1 1 Rx 2 Tx 3 GND 5 6 Tx 2 Rx 3 6 9 GND 5 9 PC MCPM Follow these steps: 1 Connect a straight-through serial cable from a COM port (typically COM1) of your PC to the diagnostic port at the front of the MCPM.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network You can disconnect the MCE at this point, because you can use Ethernet communication through the master control network for all further modifications. 4 Repeat steps 1–3 for all other MCEs you want in your master control network. Each must have a unique IP address. Hardware Panels Ethernet First, enter the IP address and subnet address in the appropriate submenu of the panel’s menu system. This step will vary from panel to panel.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network Set switch S1-8 to the “ON” position to enable the lever arm option, as shown: MCP IO BOARD EM0470 00 B1 PSU Connector PSU Connector S1 O N 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 RS-232 ENET ENET Figure 4-4. Control Panel EM0470 I/O Board No adjustments or configuration settings are required. When it powers up, the control panel detects the lever arm and handles any required calibration.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network There is a Schottky diode across the GPI input terminals to prevent damage to the internal circuitry (if you happen to reverse the input connection). And if you do, the input circuit won’t work, even if it survives. During panel configuration you can specify the polarity of the GPI inputs. That is (1) whether a GPI input button on the panel goes high-tally or low-tally when an input switch is closed.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network In case you are using the WC0053 breakout cable for the GPIs and alarms, these are the WC0053 wire numbers and colors: Table 4-1.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network 3 Click ‘Advanced’. Choose the DNS tab and ensure the settings appear as shown here: DNS Tab These values are the same for all PCs in the network. 4 Choose the WINS tab and ensure the settings appear as shown here: WINS Tab These values are the same for all PCs in the network. S Other than the IP address, the settings are typical Windows® XP default selections.
4. Hardware Installation Master Control Network Tally Processors The tally processor is slightly different because it is a third-party device. First, connect the tally processor to the master control Ethernet switch. Use the front panel “menu” of the tally processor to define its IP address (which must be unique on the master control network). Following that step, you can access the tally processor’s internal configuration software through a browser on your PC (such as Internet Explorer).
4. Hardware Installation Intuition XG the pair carries a stop pulse. MCEs can use these ports for device control as long as the device in question recognizes 100 ms start and stop pulses. Actual wiring of the GPO connections depends on your device(s). The port pinouts are also shown in Device Controller Connectors on page 127. The DC21’s 32 GPI ports remain available but master control does not use them.
4. Hardware Installation Intuition XG Video Cables The Intuition XG processor delivers one or two (fill, key) pairs to the master control system through an SWB card (a requirement). The MCE configuration identifies the ports through which the signals enter the master control system. Video cables connect to the Intuition XG processor with an 8-BNC breakout connector. One of those cables is video reference (Analog Ref In). Note that the required reference is either NTSC or tri-level (1080i/59.94).
5. Configuration Chapter 5 describes software configuration. Topics include: • Introduction • MCS Panel Configuration Editor • MasterConfig • Tally Processor • MasterDiag • Device Controller • MasterLogo • Misc. Topics • Intuition XG Introduction Configuration applies to control panels, MCPMs, MCEs, and tally processors. NV9000 system configuration is outside the scope of this guide.
5. Configuration MasterConfig MasterConfig MasterConfig is the software that configures MCPMs and MCEs. When approaching MCPM and MCE configuration you should keep in mind that the different MCPM and MCE models are different, sometimes in subtle ways. Feature available in one might not be available in others. All MCPMs and MCEs are independent. MCEs are “next generation” master control processors and differ from MCPMs in these major areas: • MCEs support 16-channel audio. MCPMs support 8 audio channels.
5. Configuration MasterConfig 8 Squeeze settings The ‘Squeeze Settings’ page defines squeezeback settings. The squeeze settings page applies to squeeze backgrounds whereas the squeeze 2 settings page applies to squeeze image 2. S The MCPM-MK-SD and -MK-HD do not provide squeezeback. The MCPM-SDHD and MCE offer squeeze “image 2” functions as part of enhanced squeezeback. 9 Squeeze 2 settings [-SDHD and MCE only] The ‘Squeeze 2 Settings’ page further defines squeezeback settings.
5. Configuration MasterConfig Not every MCPM uses every page. For example, the MCPM-MK-SD and -MK-HD do not have squeezeback and MasterConfig shows no squeezeback pages for those MCPMs. With MasterConfig, you can, of course, save and re-open configuration files in your PC’s file system. You can manage configuration files any way you’d like. This is the general process to develop a configuration: 1 Choose an MCPM or MCE. 2 Read its configuration. 3 Modify its configuration.
5. Configuration MasterConfig Preview and Aux MCEs have 2 aux buses and might have a preview bus (if a preview board is present). MCPMs do not have these buses. The aux bus can be put to use in several very different ways. Only new control panels support the aux buses: the CECP, CECP M1, CECP GUI, and FECP. Except for the CECP M1, these panels support the preview bus too. The CECP M1 does not have preview button row.
5. Configuration MasterConfig Choosing an MCE or MCPM There is a list of MCPMs and MCEs at the left side of the MasterConfig window. You can click (or define or delete) any entry in this list. You can also enter the IP address of an MCPM or MCE directly at any time: You do not need to choose an MCPM or MCE. After you create a configuration, you can associate it with any of the MCPMs or MCEs in the list. S Be careful, when writing data, not to load a configuration into an MCPM of the wrong type.
5. Configuration MasterConfig General Settings Use the General Settings page to specify the very basic parameters of your MCPM. The page varies with the MCPM. Figure 5-1 shows some of the variations: MCPM-SD MCPM-MK-HD MCE Figure 5-1. MasterConfig General Settings Window It is in this page that you can name the MCPM or MCE and specify the IP addresses of the NV9000 system (if present) from which you want to obtain source and destination IDs (if they apply).
5. Configuration MasterConfig You must click the ‘Apply’ button to confirm and capture the choices you make in this page. Main Sources Use the Main Sources page to list, and define, video sources. Specify the source mnemonic, the video and audio input connections, and audio channel usage. Use this page to specify the audio sources to be associated with this video. Audio may be embedded or discrete.
5. Configuration MasterConfig This shows the ‘Main Source’ page for an MCE: It shows 16 audio channels. The ‘Initial Values’ button will automatically enter the connector numbers, starting with the value you specify at the top of the list. The MCE does not support analog video. The MCE does support machine control and pre-roll.
5. Configuration MasterConfig This shows the ‘Main Sources’ page for an MCPM-SD: It has 8 audio channels. The video source can be analog. This shows the ‘Main Sources’ page for an MCPM-MK-HD: The -MK-HD has no analog option, no Dolby option, and its 16 allowable inputs come from its own backplane or from external router sources. 86 Rev 1.
5. Configuration MasterConfig Video Effects and Audio Overs There are pages (similar in style, but not content) in which you may specify logo parameters, and the parameters of logo keyers, video keyers, squeezeback effects, and audio overs. The MCPM-SDHD and MCE support enhanced squeezeback effects. Other MCPMs do not. Audio overs allow router pre-select sources as do main sources. Meters and Monitors The different MCPM types have different audio monitor/meter features.
5. Configuration MasterConfig This shows the ‘Audio Monitor’ page for an MCE: It has 16 audio channels. The monitor outputs are not partitioned and there is no analog section. The audio monitor outputs include the 24 AES outputs on the MCE-AXM card. 88 Rev 1.
5. Configuration MasterDiag This shows the ‘Audio Monitor’ page for an MCPM-MK-HD: The -MK-HD has no analog option, but its monitor outputs are partitioned as for other MCPMs. MasterDiag MasterDiag is a relatively small program, but nonetheless important. It is not really a configuration program. With MasterDiag, you can do the following: • Set the IP addresses of MCPMs and MCEs. • Upload MCPM and MCE firmware. There are two cases: MCPMs.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor MasterLogo converts graphic files (.TIF, .BMP, .JPG, .TGA, .PNG, .GIF) to the internal form (10bit YCrCb) required by Master Control. It is MasterLogo that executes the upload of logos to MCPM or MCE when MasterConfig writes configuration to an MCPM or MCE. (The upload is an option. Logo upload can take a long time and MCEs don’t generally need it beyond the first upload.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor • Selects the NV9000 source categories the operator can use (if an NV9000 system is present). • Defines configurable button functions. A panel might support features not available in the MCPM. For example: a squeeze button on a panel that controls an MCPM-MK-SD or -MK-HD are disabled. These MCPMs have no squeeze function. A panel might lack features that support MCPM or MCE features.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor 9 User menu lists This page exists for the SCP only. It allows you to create (and name) menu pages in the SCP’s hierarchical menu system. 10 Menu layouts This page exists for the SCP only. It allows you to define the button functions of menu pages you created in the ‘User Menu Lists’ page. 11 Aux delegates This page exists for panels that have aux buttons: the CECP, CECP M1, CECP GUI, Aux/Preview GUI, and FECP.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor A control panel can control and sense MCPM GPIs as well as its own GPIs. Assumption of Source Buttons Some control panel have 16 physical main source buttons. Some panels have fewer, but have 16 “virtual source buttons” that can be selected with a “bank select” button. The button switches the “bank” that appears on the physical buttons. (Some panels have a fixed set of video effect and audio over buttons. Some panels have a configurable set.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor For a hardware panel, you must write the configuration file to the panel from the panel editor. Use the ‘Write Config to Panel’ command from the ‘File’ menu. You can also read GUI configuration files and hardware panel configuration files. Use the ‘File > Open’ command to read a GUI file. Use the ‘File > Read Config from File’ command to read a hardware panel’s configuration. Choosing a Panel There is a panel list at the left side of the panel editor window.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor Channel Specification Use the ‘Channel Selection List’ page to specify what channels (MCPMs or MCEs) the control panel may access: Place a checkmark in the ‘Default MCPM’ column to indicate which channel is the default channel (the one to which the panel attaches at startup). A panel must have at least one channel defined to be functional.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor Aux Delegates The newer panels, CECP, CECP M1, CECP GUI, Aux/Preview GUI, and FECP have a set of aux buttons. Up to six of the aux buttons may be configured as “aux delegates.” The delegates determine the function of the aux bus. These are the 6 aux delegate types: • Aux Bus A The main source selected on the aux bus appears at the MCE’s aux A output. • Aux Bus B The main source selected on the aux bus appears at the MCE’s aux B output.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor This is the configuration page (as for the CECP). In the preceding illustration, the panel has 6 physical main source buttons. The mapping of virtual main sources buttons to physical allows the operator 12 virtual main sources. S Keeping the same virtual buttons in both button banks might be useful if those buttons are router pre-select buttons. In this example, two of the buttons are XG keyer layer buttons.
5. Configuration MCS Panel Configuration Editor to it in the ‘Menu Layouts’ page. Note that the leftmost button is always the ‘Home/Panel Menu’ button and the other 7 buttons of the menu are configurable. This is the ‘User Menu List’ page (empty): This is the ‘Menu Layouts’ page: It is empty — none of its buttons have functions assigned. The left-most button is always the ‘Panel Menu’ button. Its function is fixed. The other 7 buttons are assignable. This illustration shows the ‘Top Level’ menu.
5. Configuration Tally Processor Tally Processor The master control tally processor is third-party1 equipment. Its configuration application is builtin and requires no separate installation. It communicates with a designated MCPM or MCE using NVEP. 2 It senses and controls a certain set of master control events. S The master control system treats the tally processor as if it were a control panel.
5. Configuration Device Controller Each sub-page manages a configuration table. Configuration tables can be saved and retrieved for fast setups and quick changes during a broadcast or production. Summary The tally processor can be configured to respond to master control events such as source or keyer presses and can be configured to trigger events such as source or keyer presses. The tally processor also has 32 GPI inputs and 32 GPI outputs.
5. Configuration Intuition XG It presents 7 options (sub-pages) listed across the top in the yellow region: Protocol assignment Define connections to MCEs and MCPMs and master control events. GPI The GPIs are not used for master control. GPO Configure any or all of the 32 GPOs. Event notification Ignore this unless you have a USP.a USP events Ignore this unless you have a USP.
5. Configuration Intuition XG 4 Verify the configuration of XG channels A and B. Start the Dashboard. Be sure that each entry in the table has a green dot, not red. This is the Dashboard table with channel A selected: Output resolution must be 1080i30M (29.97 Hz), not 1080i30 (30 Hz) for both channels. Genlock status to be “locked,” not “locking” or “free running” for both channels. 102 Rev 1.
5. Configuration Intuition XG 5 Verify that Xplay is properly configured. You should see 4 panes, i.e., 2 keyer layers for channels A and B. The names are arbitrary. Here they are CGA-0, CGA-1, CGB-0, and CGB-1: Choose Xplay > Tools > Settings > General. Ensure that the layout is ‘Multidevice’. Ensure that the number of devices is 4. Choose Xplay > Tools > Device Manager Verify that your channels (here named CGA and CGB) are present.
5. Configuration Intuition XG Choose Xplay > Tools > Configure Automation. For channel A (“program” in MasterConfig) the TCP port must be 5006. If it exists, channel B (“preset” in MasterConfig) must be 5007. • Ensure that all keys have proper recall IDs. Although Xmedia software allows recall IDs to be alphanumeric, master control requires that the recall IDs of XG keys be numeric and in the range 1–65535. Master control panel operators will not be able to select XG keys that have any other recall IDs.
5. Configuration Intuition XG NV5100MC Configuration for Intuition XG Configuration of the master control system for Intuition XG occurs in two parts: one is in MasterConfig and the other is in the MCS Panel Configuration Editor. Please refer to those manuals for more detail. MasterConfig 1 Enable pre-roll in the general settings. Intuition XG requires it to function properly.
5. Configuration Misc. Topics 10 Specify the maximum number of layers. The lower this value, the better your system performance will be. 11 Specify the keyer behavior. The choices are ‘Normal’ and ‘Clear Preset after Program Transitions to On’. See the NV5100MC MasterConfig User’s Guide for details. MCE Panel Configuration Editor (Intuition XG configuration is available only for the SCP, CECP, CECP M1, CECP GUI, Aux/Preview GUI, and FECP.
5. Configuration Misc. Topics If it has reset properly, the MCPM configuration will have been copied from flash to RAM, possibly overwriting operator changes. For MCPMs, any logos previously in RAM will have been lost, and must be reloaded from the configuration PC. (You can use MasterLogo for that purpose.) For MCEs, logos are not lost because they remain in flash memory. MCPM Health At the front of the MCPM, there is a green LED labeled “HEALTH” and a red LED labeled “ALARM.
5. Configuration Misc. Topics A failure of any circuit board. Failure of both power supplies. A detected failure of an attached transition lever arm. • Minor alarm: Failure of one power supply. Fan failure or over temperature. The control panel has alarm outputs (relays) which can be used to signal problems. See Control Panel Connectors on page 140 for connector information. 108 Rev 1.
6. Maintenance Chapter 6 provides information about maintenance and trouble-shooting. It presents the following topics: • Routine Maintenance • Trouble-Shooting • Module Replacement Routine Maintenance The master control system requires very little in the way of routine or preventative maintenance. Other than cleaning the fan air intake filter, all that is required is periodic inspection of the system to make sure no failures have occurred.
6. Maintenance Routine Maintenance 9 Verify that one or both AC cords are firmly seated at both ends. Make sure that the spring bail power cord retainers on the rear of the frame are in place. Intake Filter Screen Cleaning The intake filter is located on the front door assembly of the master control frame. To access the filter, simply open the door by releasing the two thumbscrew locks. Slide the filter up and to the right to remove it. This process might be easier if you remove the entire door.
6. Maintenance Trouble-Shooting Fuse Replacement All input and output modules, except for the SD output module, all HD modules and the control cards, include 1A non-serviceable, self-resetting thermal fuses. These fuses open in the event of a serious overload, preventing major damage. They will self-reset if allowed to cool. A replaceable AC fuse cartridge is used on the PS6100 power supply modules. The correct fuse is 15A (1.25″ × 0.25″ fast-blow).
6. Maintenance Module Replacement Table 6-2. NV5100MC Module Status LEDs Module Type LED Function Description MCPM Red (bypass) Bypass Indicates that the MCPM is in bypass mode Green Healthy Normal operation, successful boot, module power supplies OK Amber Active Module is active or in use Red Alarm Fault State: • Bad or missing video or AES reference. • Bad on-module power supply. • Microprocessor failure. Try rebooting. Red (upper) Alarm Indicates a fault condition.
6. Maintenance Module Replacement match rear modules to the corresponding front modules. Those using BNC connectors are especially easy to install in the wrong location because, under casual observation, they look very similar. No damage will normally result from an unintentional mismatch. HD Input, HD Output, and SD Input Modules Unlike other backplanes, HD input and output backplanes and SD input backplanes contain active circuitry.

A. References Misc. Connectors Control Panel Connectors CP AUX The CP AUX connector (DB15) is the same for the FFCP and CFCP and not present on the SCP. IT is also present, but unused, on the CECP and FECP. Its pinout is not of any concern to customers.
A. References Things to Consider Things to Consider Do you want or need recessed panels? The FFCP, CFCP, and TLA allow recessed mounting. Do you want or need rack-mounted panels? The SCP is designed as a rack-mounted panel. It is also possible to rack-mount a CFCP. Is your master control system operating under a router control system? Is it an NV9000 system? You will need to assign the controller(s) IP addresses on the master control network during master control software installation.
A. References Power Cords -HD2. There are 16 independent outputs on every wing card, but the HD2 supports these options only in wing slot 1. These are the configuration options for the wing outputs: SDHD Router controlled Program video Preset video Program audio Preset audio S HD2 Router controlled Program video Preset video Configurers might note that MasterConfig shows “Aux Bus 1” and “Aux Bus 2” as choices. These are invalid options.
