198 IconMaster Installation and Configuration Manual
Chapter 8: Configuring IconMaster
• VANC Data in FTB
This setting affects whether the PGM output includes VANC data from the
PGM input source when the system is in the Fade to Black mode.
• PGM Bus Hot-Punch
This setting defines what the IconMaster will do when a PGM bus source is
hot-punched. By default, the IconMaster will drop all keys, audio overs, and
all effects. By un-checking these settings, the IconMaster can be configured
to retain the on-air keys, audio overs, and effects in progress.
• EAS Audio
These settings affect how IconMaster responds to EAS (Emergency Alert
System) triggers received.
• If set to None, no audio will be altered during an EAS event.
• If set to On Audio Over 1 or On Audio Over 2, the selected audio
over keyer will be turned ON during an EAS event, and turned OFF
when the event completes. The Ratio setting adjusts the A/O ratio for
the selected AO keyer during the EAS event.
Use of On Audio Over 1 or On Audio Over 2 as part of an EAS
event may result in an undesired on-air operation if the EAS
receiver terminates the EAS message to the IconMaster before the
completion of the EAS audio message. Consider using a GPO
from the EAS receiver, connected to a GPI using the Key Enable
GPI function to maintain an active Audio Over while the EAS
receiver is transmitting the EAS audio message.
• Audio Over Ratio Behavior
This setting allows you to specify the way the audio over ratio is interpreted
by IconMaster. The default value for Audio Over ratio is 50%, which means
full level mix for both AO and PGM. The 50% or 100% mix also applies to
Logo Audio Overs.
• If 50% Mix is selected as a mode of operation, at 50% ratio the Audio
Over and PGM audio each make up 50% of the mix, and the level of
each will be -3 dB.
