ImageStore   ---   for master control and channel branding

The compact 1RU Imagestore houses all the power you need for digital master control - no matter how demanding. Imagestore provides switching, mixing and two layers of keying from external sources or internally stored logos, animations and station-clocks. With the enhanced memory option, Imagestore even functions as a powerful slide-file store.

Imagestore's Squeezy DVE option allows squeeze-back reveals of video or pre-prepared graphics, logos or stills.

And Miranda hasn't forgotten audio. Imagestore's Easysound option provides full-group embedded-audio mixing, AES mixing and provision for two voice-over inputs. Voice-overs can even be stored within the unit on hard drive for fully automated channels with the Easyplay option.

Imagestore is fully automation friendly and is supported by all major automation vendors.

The ImageStore HD version provides similar functionality for HDTV applications.

PresMaster 100    ---   for MC switching/keying

Presmaster is Miranda's advanced concept for master control in an automated environment. The Presmaster panel itself combines a compact control surface with a highly ergonomic, intuitive operational philosophy. But here's the difference, one Presmaster panel is capable of controlling more Imagestore channels than a single master control operator can reasonably monitor! So you can provide the look and flexibility that only human intervention can give you, but share it between a group of otherwise highly automated channels. And that means - high production values, at an unprecedented cost.

EasyKey    ---   for switching & downstream keying

In AB video switcher mode, Easykey is designed to operate as an automated master control switcher, with A and B program inputs fed by an external router. The switcher is also suitable for post-production tasks, such as telecine color correction, using a hard wipe to compare images after color adjustment. Easykey's compact size also makes it highly suitable for field switching applications. On-location editing can be performed using field VTRs with pre-read, such as Sony's DNW-A220P, in either two or three machine edit configurations.

Easykey can switch by horizontal and vertical wipes, as well as by cuts and fades. The fade rate and wipe softness are fully adjustable. A full preview of the next switcher transition is provided on a separate preview output. The standard preview is SDI and this can be replaced with an optional analogue composite preview output. Easykey is highly suited to automated operation with RS422, RS485 and RS232 serial control interfaces. The unit can also be controlled by programmable GPIs and analogue faders.

In downstream keying mode, Easykey is ideal for operation with character generators, stillstores, and other graphical devices, where there is a requirement to insert fill and key signals into SDI. Easykey can perform self-luma linear, external luma linear, and additive luma keying. The key processor has independent clip, gain and transparency controls (minimum 12-bit processing). A fade to black is available in both switching and downstream keying modes.
