136 IconMaster Installation and Configuration Manual
Chapter 7: Automation Setup
• If connecting directly to the IconMaster system, connect the
multifunction I/O on the MKE-3901-BM to the port on the McCurdy
SER-8-IF serial breakout box configured for automation. See
Table 2-7
on page 50 for pinouts. See Table 2-1 on page 34 for setting the serial
port standard.
D-Series System Capabilities With IconMaster
The ADC-100 playout automation includes support for controlling the
IconMaster master control switcher.
The following IconMaster capabilities are supported:
• Transitions between main sources (V-fade, C-fade. F-fade and mix) at three
predefined speeds (slow, medium and fast) in addition to cuts.
• Audio-Overs with either of two external inputs
• Control of the 6 IconMaster keyers (2 using external key/fill source, 4 using
the internal logo store).
• Selection of logos from the IconMaster’s internal logo store (this requires
configuring a corresponding source machine entry in the source
specification table src.tbl.
• Control of effects (this is not functioning correctly with IconMaster
firmware v1.4).
Audio-video breakaways not supported: Although the IconMaster supports
audio-video breakaways under certain circumstances, using an audio-video
break away interferes with IconMaster functions, so the D-Series interface does
not support using this capability.
The IconMaster should be running firmware release 1.4 or later. This interface
will not function properly with earlier IconMaster firmware versions.
