Installation
Notes
All IconMaster components must be mounted in an area where there is unrestricted air movement. Except for the MKE, MGI, and MKA modules (which are mounted in standard NEO frames) no fan cooling is required.
The two control panels of the IconMaster system are designed for desk and tabletop operation, or for use in a standard equipment rack.
For maximum efficiency and reliability, IconMaster control panels should be operated in an ambient temperature between 68° and 86°F (20° to 30°C) non-condensing.
IconMaster control panels communicate with the MKE-3901 via an Ethernet network.
On the same network, the MGI-3903 also connects to the PC that hosts the IconMaster configuration utility software.
If your network includes a switch, the switch must be 10/100Base-T. The system will not function on 10Base-T or 100Base-T only.
Some consumer or SOHO network switches may fail to auto-negotiate Ethernet port configuration with IconMaster when repowering or rebooting. For best results, use a managed switch capable of port configuration, and configure the port to 100 Mbs
Full-Duplex if a failure to communicate after reboot occurs with any network switch.
A NEO resource module is not required for IconMaster to be configured and work correctly.
NEO frames require an ambient temperature between 32° and 122°F (0° and 45°C.)
See the technical manual of your PC for information on the operating temperatures of the computer.
NEO modules used in an IconMaster system must be connected together in the following top-to-bottom order before being inserted in a NEO frame:
1. MKA-3901 (optional)
2. MKE-3901 (with optional MKE-3901-FX submodule)
3. MGI-3903
Because the modules are physically connected together, they must all be installed on the same side of the frame.
CAUTION
If your IconMaster package was not factory-installed in a NEO frame, ensure that you use the provided screws to secure the modules together before they are inserted in the frame.
Sequence of
Events for
Installation
For a fully functional IconMaster system, you must install and configure the hardware components, and initialize certain settings. (Your particular installation may or may not include all of these steps, depending on which options you purchased.) After the installation is complete, you will need to configure the hardware modules, internal and external routers, and control panel components. These configuration tasks are explained in separate chapters.

Installing Control Panels
Connecting the Main Panel and Optional Audio Panel
The IconMaster main control panel and audio control panel are connected to each other both mechanically (by means of a bracket) and electrically (by using two wiring harnesses).
The audio control panel cannot operate independently of the main control panel, and must always be directly attached. If you ordered both controls at the same time, they will be preassembled at the factory.
If you ordered the control panels at different times you can connect them together yourself.
To connect the main control panel and audio control panel together, follow these steps:
1
Remove the four screws on each side of the main control panel trim (see
Remove these four screws
Replace three screws for the new trim
Figure 2-3 Removal of Trim
2
Replace the side trim with the two new shorter pieces supplied. Only three screws are required on each side to attach the new trim.
3
Remove the cover plate from the back of the main control panel (see
Remove cover plate
Figure 2-4 Removal of the Main Control Panel Cover Plate

Mounting the Control
Panels
The two control panels of the IconMaster system are designed for desk and tabletop operation, or for use in a standard equipment rack. Desk and tabletop mounting are
described on page 14; rack mounting is described on page 15.
Mounting Panels in a Desk or a Tabletop
The IconMaster control panels can be set into a desk or tabletop. (The optional audio control panel must be attached to the main control panel before you mount it; see
Connecting the Main Panel and Optional Audio Panel
Note: The control panels are easier to see and use if the tabletop or desk is angled towards the operator. For illustration purposes here, the trim has been removed. In a typical desk or tabletop installation, the trim will remain attached.
Follow these steps to mount the control panels into a desk or tabletop:
1
Using the dimensions shown in
(for the main control panel only) or
(for the main and audio control panels together), make a cutout in the desk or tabletop.
2
Carefully place the control panels into the cutout.

Mounting Control Panels into a Rack
Note: The main and audio control panels can be mounted in a rack with or without the outer trim attached. However, the outer trim will use an additional 1RU of extra space above and below the unit if it is left attached. If you choose to remove the trim, ensure that you replace the two middle screws found on each side (see
16
Chapter 2
Installation
To install the main control panel and the optional audio control panel in a rack, use the adjustable left and right-side frame mounting brackets that are provided. The brackets are designed so that you can angle the panels either upward or downward, according to your needs. (See
.) If you are using an audio control panel, attach and connect the
audio panel to the main control panel frame before you attach the brackets (see
Connecting the Main Panel and Optional Audio Panel
The following steps describe the installation of the control panels in a rack. If you do not
wish to remove the trim, start at step 6.

Tighten the slider screws and make all of the necessary cable connections on the back of the main control panel.
9
Align the control panel assembly so that the screw holes in the mounting brackets match up with those at the front of the rack.
10
Secure the control panel assembly to the rack with 10×32 machine-head mounting screws and washers.
11
Make necessary control panel connections (see page 18).
Connecting Main Control Panel Components
The IconMaster main control panel has external connections located in a bay on the underside of the unit (
Figure 2-16
). In addition, two 50-pin connectors at the back of the panel provide an interface with the optional audio control panel.
Figure 2-15 Main Control Panel External Connections—Older Models
Figure 2-16 Main Control Panel External Connections—Newer Models
The Timecode IN provides a means for IconMaster to read a facility time-of-day real-time clock. If desired, feed a unity speed, forward counting LTC timecode signal into the
Timecode IN connector, and configure the IconMaster to use the RCP panel as it's primary time-of-day clock source. A MTG-3901 module or CSD5300 product can be used for this timecode signal. DIP Switch 1 (below) is used to set the Timecode IN termination to either open or 600
. See page 182 to setup IconMaster to use the RCP's Timecode IN as the
real-time clock source.
Note: One RCP panel can be setup as the real-time clock source for multiple IconMaster channels.
The Timecode OUT connector is used to feed an external LTC timecode display device with a time function from the IconMaster. IconMaster can display either the time-of-day or its
segment timer on this output. See page 182 to set this up.
IconMaster
Installation and Configuration Manual
19
Figure 2-17 Timecode IN (Rear Panel View)
Figure 2-18 Timecode OUT (Rear Panel View)
DIP Switch Settings
The DIP switches on the main control panel allow you to set values for termination for timecode in (LTC) and for failsafe bootloader (CPU BOOT). DIP switch 1 controls the LTC setting and DIP switch 2 controls the CPU BOOT setting. See
the values of these settings.
Figure 2-19 DIP Switch Setting Values
Note: Failsafe mode is used only if the panel fails to load properly on power up. In this mode the file system can be manually restored. Contact customer service for additional details
Power Supply
The IconMaster main control panel uses one external power supply. (For redundant power supply operation, two power supply units must be used.)
20
Chapter 2
Installation
The DC output from one of the provided power supplies should be connected to PS1 on the IconMaster control panel. Connect the second, redundant power supply to PS2.
When you plug in the power supply, the IconMaster control panel buttons will light up. You may want to verify the IP address and software version for your system. This function is performed via the Service menu (see the IconMaster Function Operation and Configuration
Manual for instructions).
NEO Modules Connection (Not Connected to a Network)
The IconMaster main control panel can be connected directly to the system’s NEO frame-based modules when the system is not connected to a network. To do this, connect
Ethernet on the main control panel to Ethernet 1 on the MKE-3901 back module using a crossover (twisted) cable.
Network Connection
The IconMaster main control panel can be connected to a network system. To do this, connect Ethernet on the IconMaster main control panel (or Ethernet 2 on older panels) directly to a switch on the network using a straight cable.
Note:
Some consumer or SOHO network switches may fail to auto-negotiate Ethernet port configuration with IconMaster when repowering or rebooting. For best results, use a managed switch capable of port configuration, and configure the port to 100 Mbs
Full-Duplex if a failure to communicate after reboot occurs with any network switch.
Installing NEO Modules
Installing Standard NEO Modules (MKE-3901 and MGI-3903)
An IconMaster system includes an MKE-3901 mixer/keyer module and an MGI-3903
IconLogo graphics module as standard equipment. These modules and their corresponding back connector modules are pre-installed at the manufacturing facility.
IconMaster LITE systems do not include the MGI-3903 IconLogo graphics module.

IconMaster System with Internal (Two Channel) Audio and Video NSM Routers and
Optional ICONM-BO-VAC Module
General
Information
Both Video and Audio NSMs
Only one set of NSMs can be installed in a 3RU frame.
The source offset for all NSM modules is 1.
The destination offset for all NSM modules is 0.
Video-Only NSM Modules
The first video NSM module must be assigned an X-Y level of 0.
When ganging 2 cards together, the second module must be assigned an X-Y level of 1.
Audio-Only NSM Modules
The NSM-7×2AES router supports a single AES stream for both A and B inputs on the
IconMaster. If the NSM-7×2AES routers are to be used for discrete AES audio for a full two AES (four-channel) system, four of these router modules are required.
The expected use would be as follows:
NSM #1 and NSM #2 provide AES 1 for Bus A and Bus B.
NSM #3 and NSM #4 provide AES 2 for Bus A and Bus B.

If you have changed the IP address on the card edge of the MKE-3901 module, you must
make the same change in the Network dialog box in the ICU software (see page 176).
To change the network settings of the IconMaster control panel, refer to the Panel Network
Configuration dialog box in ICU software (see page 185). Alternatively, you can use the
Service Menu change the IP address of the IconMaster control panel on the panel itself.
Refer to the IconMaster Functional Operation and Configuration Manual for more information.

Connecting an IconMaster to an
EAS Device
103
Overview
The federal Emergency Alert System (EAS) enables broadcasters, cable providers, and emergency managers to receive, store, forward, and originate emergency alert messages as required by the Federal Communications Commission. EAS allows broadcast stations, cable systems, participating satellite companies, and emergency managers, and other services to send and receive emergency information quickly and automatically, even if these facilities are unattended. Specially equipped devices decode EAS messages for distribution.
The IconMaster can be connected directly to an EAS encoder/decoder or character generator, thus enabling you to insert emergency notification messages directly into the broadcast stream as a regular scrolling text crawl.
An external EAS receiver is required to allow this feature to become operational.
Communication Protocols
The IconLogo currently supports three communication protocols employed by EAS devices:
TFT
1
, Sage
2
, and Gorman-Redlich (GR)
3
.
RS-232 Connection
The EAS device is connected to the RS-232-D port on the IconMaster ICONM-BO-V breakout module. See
on page 38 for pinout details. If the IconMaster ICONM-BO-V
breakout module is not being used, the EAS device must be wired directly to the
Multi-Function I/O connector on the MKE-3901-BM (see
(RS-232-D-RX) and 58 (RS-232-D-TX) are reserved for this purpose. See
on page 28. (One ground connection is also required.)
Configuring the EAS
Device
EAS devices need to be set to 9600 baud and Standard or Generic CG protocol in order to work correctly with IconMaster.
For basic configurations and preparations please see the specific EAS device user manual. No additional special settings are needed to communicate with an IconMaster. The standard signal will be taken out from the EAS device’s serial port.

Connecting an IconMaster to an EAS Device
IconMaster can be configured two different ways when using IconMaster's Audio Over to insert the EAS audio message into the program stream.
An important consideration is that the EAS audio message is not always the same duration as the EAS logo message.
Method 1 (preferred): IconMaster controls EAS logo insertion and EAS audio insertion separately.
1
Configure the EAS receiver to output a GPI output for the duration of the audio message.
2
Connect this GPI output to an IconMaster GPI input, and configure IconMaster to use this
GPI input as Key to Air (as in
) so that the EAS Box can hold the Audio Over
active for the duration of the EAS audio message.
Figure 6-1 GPI Settings for EAS Logo Insertion
3
Ensure that the EAS Audio setting in the System Configuration menu is set to NONE.
Figure 6-2 EAS Audio Settings in the System Configuration Menu
With these settings, IconMaster will enable the selected Audio Over whenever the GPI input is triggered, and for as long as the GPI input is triggered. The duration of the Audio Over key is independent of the duration of the EAS message.
Method 2: IconMaster controls EAS logo and audio together.
IconMaster can be configured to automatically enable an Audio Over when an EAS message is received.
The following menu can be found in the ICU System Configuration screen, and shows that Audio Over 1 will automatically be keyed into PGM video when an EAS message is received, and only for the duration of the EAS message.

Connecting for Machine Control Use
Note: You cannot use this configuration on a network.
The serial connector RS-232-A on the ICONM-BO-V video breakout module is dedicated for machine control use. To connect the IconMaster system to a VTR, follow these steps.
1
Using a straight-through RS-232 serial cable, connect RS-232-A on the ICONM-BO-V video breakout module to the serial connector on an SPT-LSERIAL or an SPT-LXYTOXY serial protocol translator.
Note: If re-assigned to port B or port E, use a null-modem cable instead of this straight-through cable.
2
Using a coaxial cable, connect COAX on the SPT to COAX on the VTR specific SPT. (For example, if you are connecting to a Sony VTR, you would be using an SPT-LXYTOSONY.)
3
Using an RS-422 serial cable, connect the serial connector on the SPT to the VTR.
4
Follow the VTR manufacturer’s instructions for other connections to the IconMaster system.

Machine Control
Edge Protocol Gateway
The Edge protocol gateway provides external connectivity to any Leitch/Imagine
Communications routing system. It translates between Leitch/Imagine Communications and other manufacturers’ routing control systems. On an IconMaster system, the Edge would be connected to either a Panacea or a Platinum router to access third-party protocols and commands.
Before you can make any connections to an IconMaster, the Edge must already be configured as desired. If your Edge is already operational, you do not need to configure it.
If, however, your Edge is not already operational, you must install and configure it as desired for your facility. See the Edge Protocol Gateway Installation and Frame Configuration
Manual for detailed information.
You can use an Edge to allow the IconMaster to “talk” to certain third party routing systems. See the Protocol Translation Functions Firmware Installation, Configuration, And
Operation Manual for a list of supported third-party protocols and commands.

Information such as Date, Time, Level, Sequence, etc., in the logging server is defined by the logging server itself; see the Logging Server’s documentation for more information on those items.
The Message field in the logging server is specific to the particular device. A single device action, such as a Take, can trigger numerous messages in the log, as the repercussions of that action are executed.
The message field of a typical IconMaster log entry is separated by commas, and contains the following information:
The source of the change, for example: Operation, meaning an operator performed an action)
The device where the action took place, for example RCP: IP address, meaning a specific remote control panel triggered an action
The item that was triggered
The action that happened as a result of the triggered item

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, cut-fade, fade-cut, 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 six IconMaster keyers (two using external key/fill source, four 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.

When the corresponding source entry is specified in the appropriate subevent, the corresponding material ID field accepts numeric entries between 1 and 999 to specify an internal logo from the IconMaster logo store (there is no checking to ensure a specific logo number actually exists).
At the ready time, a request is issued to load the specified logo number, unless the keyer is already active on the IconMaster’s PGM bus (in which case, the logo is not loaded until start time).
Configuration for Squeezeback and DVE Effects
The IconMaster supports up to 16 squeezebacks or DVE effects that are preconfigured (i.e.
the details of the effect can not be controlled from D-MAS). DVE transitions are not supported.
Note: Currently, only a single upstream router may be defined for the IconMaster. Thus, if an IconMaster is using explicit routing for both program and effect sources, the program and effect sources must be on the same upstream router.
The IconMaster has a dedicated DVE input; labeled “Squeeze Bkgd” on the breakout panel.
A source may be directly connected to this input, or any of several sources may be routed to it if the IconMaster is configured to use an upstream router.

Configuring IconMaster to Ignore Automation Commands on Specific
Key Layers
Note: This feature is supported in IconMaster (MKE) software release 2.2 and greater.
The IconMaster is designed to operate from a single point of control. Normally, this will be either the RCP remote control panel, or by automation. The IconMaster does not support control by the RCP and automation independently at the same time. These devices can both control the IconMaster at the same time, however, and the IconMaster will operate as if the two control paths were one, using a single shared device.
To support the split use of IconMaster keyers between manual RCP operations and automation operations, the IconMaster can be setup to ignore automation commands for specific key layers. If this mode is configured, any automation commands which affect the ignored keyers will be ignored.
Setting Up
Automation
Key Masks
A key “mask” is a specific bit field in which each keyer is given a bit position, and the bit field is encoded to select which keyer layers will be respected by automation and which will be ignored.
Bit 0 of the key mask is for Keyer 1 (first external keyer)
A value of 0 allows automation to control the keyer.
A value of 1 forces automation to ignore the keyer.
Bit 1 of the key mask is for Keyer 2 (second external keyer)
Bit 2 of the key mask is for Keyer 3 (first internal logo keyer)
Bit 3 of the key mask is for Keyer 4 (second internal logo keyer)
Bit 4 of the key mask is for Keyer 5 (third internal logo keyer)
Bit 5 of the key mask is for Keyer 6 (fourth internal logo keyer)
The key mask is encoded as a byte, in the format 0xHH, where HH is the hex encoded key mask.
For example:
A key mask of 0x00 (all zeros) is the default key mask, and will allow automation control of all keyers.
A key mask of 0x0F will allow automation control of keyers 5 and 6, and will disallow automation control of keyers 1 through 4.
A key mask of 0x30 will allow automation control of keyers 1 through 4, and will disallow automation control of keyers 5 and 6.
Procedure
To set up a key mask in IconMaster, perform the following steps from a MS-Windows computer connected to the same network as your IconMaster system:
1
Open a command prompt window by selecting the <Start> button at the bottom left of the screen. Select the RUN menu item, and then type cmd in the field.
2
Press OK. A command prompt window will appear.

3
Begin a telnet session by typing telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address of the IconMaster's MKE-3901 module).
4
Type leitch as the username.
5
Type LeitchAdmin as the password.
6
To display the current automation key mask, type getAutoKeyMask, and then press
<Enter>. The hex encoded key mask will be displayed, along with the IconMaster's interpretation of the code.
For example:
-> getAutoKeyMask
Auto Key Mask:
0x30
Bit 0 - Key1: 0
Bit 1 - Key2: 0
Bit 2 - Key3: 0
Bit 3 - Key4: 0
Bit 4 - Key5: 1
Bit 5 - Key6: 1
Displays the current hex encoded key mask
Displays the status of keyer 1:
0 = keyer under automation
Displays the status of keyer 2:
0 = keyer under automation
Displays the status of keyer 3:
0 = keyer under automation
Displays the status of keyer 4:
0 = keyer under automation
Displays the status of keyer 5:
1 = keyer automation ignored
Displays the status of keyer 6:
1 = keyer automation ignored
Ignore the “value =” return line.
7
To set the current automation key mask, type setAutoKeyMask 0xHH and then press
<Enter>. (HH is the hex-encoded key mask [i.e., 0x30]. Include the 0x [zero and x] characters when entering the hex number. Again, ignore the “value =” return line.)
8
To verify the current automation key mask, type getAutoKeyMask, and then press
<Enter>.
9
To end the Telnet session, press <Ctrl> + ] (closing square bracket), and then type quit.

The following screen shows the above process, where the IconMaster begins with a key mask of 0x30 (masking/ignoring keys 5 and 6), and is changed to a key mask of 0x18
(masking/ignoring keys 4 and 5).
Figure 9-1 The getAutoKeyMask Process
Important Considerations for Automation Key Masks
The most common reason for automation key masks is to allow the manual control of some key layers, while automating the remaining key layers.
It should be noted that the IconMaster is designed for single-user operation. The “user” may be a manual operator using the RCP control panel, or it may be an automation system.
The IconMaster system does not distinguish between manual and automation users.
When a user enables a key layer for the next transition, that layer is enabled regardless of which user initiates the next transition via the TAKE button or automation TAKE command.
If a manual RCP user enables a key layer and the automation system enables a different key layer, the next TAKE will transition both keys.
The issue listed above will only be a problem if manual operations are done at the same time as automated operations. The following simple, but effective, workaround should be followed to ensure that automated TAKE and manual TAKE operations do not conflict.
All manual operations should follow these simple steps from the IconMaster’s RCP control panel.
1
Press the HOLD button to disable automation control.
2
Verify only the keyers you wish to transition manually are enabled. Normally, RCP keyer enables will follow automation control, so this step is important.
130
Chapter 9
Automation Setup
3
Press the TAKE button to perform the transition on only the selected keyers.
4
Deselect the key layers being controlled manually. This step is important, as the next automation TAKE operation will affect any keyers which are enabled for transitions.
5
Press the HOLD button to enable automation control.
Steps 1 and 5 above will safeguard against automation coming in while manual operations
are being set up and executed.
Automation Considerations
If a keyer is masked via the Automation Key Mask, the following automation commands will have no effect on the key layer:
KEY_ENABLE0x0B
KEY_MOD0x0A
LOGO_SELECT0x51
LOGO_SELECT_KEY0x71
Although the IconMaster will respond with ACKNOWLEDGE responses to these commands, the commands will be ignored by IconMaster. This has been done in order to avoid having automation systems invoke recovery procedures if they receive a NAK response.

Configuring IconMaster
Overview
IconMaster Configuration Utility, or ICU, software is an easy-to-use Windows®-based application for setting up and configuring the IconMaster hardware system. It allows you to control configuration of input/output functions; audio, effects, and transitions; system components; and panel components through on-screen menu selections.
IMPORTANT! You may or may not have access to the ICU software. If you do not, you must ask your system administrator to perform these operations for you.
Quick Configuration Quick Reference Chart
This chapter presupposes that you are familiar with the layout of an IconMaster control panel. If you are not, please refer to your IconMaster Functional Operation and
Configuration Manual for more information.
Note: Changes made in the IconMaster Configuration Utility will not take effect on an
IconMaster Switcher until the database has been uploaded to the IconMaster frame. See
The quick reference chart on page 193 shows the control panel clusters, the functions that
fall within each cluster, and the IconMaster configuration utility dialog box that allows you to configure that particular function.

Network
Settings
The default IP address will function correctly in a “one frame and one panel” configuration if both frame and panel are connected to the same switch that is not connected to a network server or router. However, if you are connected to a network server or router, you will need to coordinate the IP address for the MKE-3901 module, the MGI-390x module, and/or the IconMaster control panel.
Notice that there are two different network settings selections within the main menu groups. One selection controls network settings for the frame (found in the System
Configuration menu group), and the other selection controls the network settings for the control panel (found in the Panel Configuration menu group).
If you have changed the IP address on the card edge of the MKE-3901 module, you must
make the same change in the Network dialog box (see page 176 for more information on
changing this setting).
To change the network settings of the IconMaster control panel, access the Panel Network
Configuration dialog box (see page 185 for more information on changing this setting).
Operating
Standard
The default operating standard for IconMaster is SD525 (270Mbit/sec). To change the
operating standard, access the Genlock and Standard (see page 168 for more information
on changing this setting).
Note: When changing between HD operating standards (for example, from 1080I to 720P), you must repower the IconMaster.

To allow control panel router source management, click the Dynamic check box to the right of the router source number. If you have selected “12 inputs” as the primary input mode, you will be able to allow control of 12 sources. if you have selected “22 inputs” as the primary input mode, you can allow control of 22 sources. To set the primary input
mode, you must use the System Configuration dialog box. See page 172 for instructions.
The Preset QS (Quick Select) assigns the sources you pre-configured in the Quick Select
Dialog Box (see page 155) to a primary input. To choose a preset quick select, click the
Preset QS drop-down list box that corresponds to the appropriate router source number, and then scroll down to the appropriate quick select number. Use of preset Quick Selects is not recommended if the Auto Take function of Quick Selects is enabled.
Note: The PGM Bypass option is not available on a system that does not include an
IconMaster breakout module.
To enable the PGM Bypass option, click the check box to the right of the PGM Bypass Input
Bus selection.
When the PGM Bypass option is selected, IconMaster can control an auxiliary output from the primary router (the router output for bypass will be a separate output with the same content as the IconMaster PGM output for this to operate correctly). This auxiliary output will follow the same source that is currently on-air. The router output can be linked to the
IconMaster’s emergency PGM input and, in the event of an IconMaster failure or loss of power, a bypass relay will instantly connect the auxiliary signal to the IconMaster’s PGM output BNC.
To protect router A/B feeds to IconMaster, click the Yes - Protected radio button. To
unprotect the feeds, click the No - Not Protected radio button.
To prevent operators from protecting a Destination and then not being able to find the panel that originated the protect, Imagine Communications’s physical router control panels incorporate an override feature. To override a Destination Protect that was set by
another panel or IconMaster, press and hold the control panel Protect key until it stops blinking (about 5 seconds). At the end of the 5-second period the Destination Protect key will no longer be lit, which means that the destination is no longer protected. For more information about this feature, see the pertinent router control panel installation, configuration, and operation manual.

, under Audio Channel, you can determine whether to use 8 or 16 audio channels. Then, for each primary audio input, each of the 8 or 16 audio input channels can be assigned to any or all of the 8 or 16 audio output channels.
NOTE: If the audio configuration for an SD Iconmaster is changed from 8 channel to 16
channels, or from 16 channels to 8 channels, you must reboot IconMaster to ensure that all audio channels are properly configured. After uploading the configuration file to the IconMaster, you can reboot the MKE using ICU's Reboot MKE button.
In an HD IconMaster system with embedded audio, as in
Figure 10-7
, for each primary audio input, each of the 16 audio input channels can be assigned to any or all of the 16 audio outputs.
Figure 10-7 Audio Dialog Box — HD with Embedded Audio
Discrete audio is available with the optional MKA-3901 audio module only. Discrete audio inputs are sample rate converted, and thus can only accept PCM audio.

Audio Over Matrix Settings
Figure 10-9 Audio Over Matrix Dialog Box
The Audio Over Matrix dialog box includes the settings for the Audio Over inputs 1 and 2.
Using this dialog box, you can assign the A/O inputs to the audio outputs and configure audio ducking.
IconMaster has 2 AES inputs dedicated to the audio overs. Each AES input has 2 audio channels. The number of outputs corresponds to the number of audio channels selected at
the Audio Configuration dialog box (see page 141). In an SD system, each of the 4 channels
can be assigned to any or all of the 8 or 16 Audio Outputs (depending on how SD audio is
configured. See page 146). In an HD system, each of the 4 channels can be assigned to any
or all of the 16 Audio Outputs.To change the assignment, select the check box that corresponds to the input/output combination required.
An audio output cannot be assigned to more than 1 audio input. An audio input can be assigned to more than 1 audio output.
The audio assignments can be different for A/O1 and A/O2.
As shown in
Figure 10-9
, audio over channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are defaulted to Audio
Outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.
Audio over ducking can be configured differently for A/O1 and A/O2.

If Duck All Audio Output Channels is selected, any audio output that is not assigned an audio input will “fade down” the background audio on that channel during an audio over.
If Duck Only Output Channels with A/O Assigned is selected, only the audio outputs that are assigned an audio input will “fade down” the background audio and perform the audio over.
Note: Logo audio matrix settings are configured in the IconLogo soft gui tool. See the
“Audio Menu Page” section of your IconLogo documentation for more information.
Aux Bus (Auxiliary Bus Configuration) Settings
The Auxiliary Bus Configuration dialog box (
Figure 10-10
) configures the IconMaster auxiliary bus routing. This makes it possible to control additional router destinations with the Aux bus. The IconMaster control panel provides for the selection of 1 of 12 Aux buses.

Before You Begin
Before you begin, ensure that you observe the following:
Each effect should be viewed as a sequence of events, like a filmstrip.
Each effect must be defined horizontally and vertically (the default position of 0,0 is defined as the upper left corner of the screen).
All effects start with the Program full size. This is defined as Start A.
Note: For both single channel and 2 channel effects, the sequence will end with either
Program as the only full size on-screen image.
For a single channel effect, do not select the Dual Channel Effect check box.
Segment 1 defines the position and size at the end of the first transition.
There is an entry only for Program.
The background may be External Background or Preset.
The end of the effect is set by Program.
For a single channel effect, the effect must end as a full-size Program or Preset.
For a 2-channel effect, select the Dual Channel Effect check box.
Segment 1 defines the position and size at the end of the first transition.
There is an entry for both Program and Preset.
The background may be External Background or Preset.
The end of the effect is set by End A and End B.
The effect must end as one of these options:
A full-size Program and a zero size Preset
A full-size Program and a full-size Preset fully on screen.
If you Preview Effect on PST in your effect, you can choose to preview the effect before you send it to air. If you select Dual Channel Effect, you cannot preview the effect before you send it to air.
Up to 16 different effects can be set up.

1
Press the Set Auto-Timing Operation button, and then click Yes after confirming all keyers are in an off-air state.
170
Chapter 10
Configuring IconMaster
This action causes the IconMaster system to adjust the horizontal and vertical phase of the reference input so that the most number of inputs have their vertical timing value at zero.
The results of this function are not displayed in the Timing Results area. Ensure that the external keys are taken off-air before you run the Set Timing procedure.
2
Allow the Timing operation to run for 1 minute.
3
Press the Get Auto-Timing Results button to retrieve the new timing reading from the
IconMaster.
Note: The system phase values let you know how much the reference input had to be delayed so that the video inputs would be within a 1 video line of the reference input.
The Get Timing results are not a real-time indication of each input's timing offset. If an input's timing has changed, you must activate Set Timing again to retrieve the current results.
These results will be displayed in the Timing Results area. If external keys are on air when the Timing operation is initiated, the Timing results will show an error message, indicating that the timing setup was not run, and that the external keys must be taken off-air before
Set Timing is run again.
4
Adjust the V phase timing for any source that is reported as not timed.
For example, if, after executing the Set Timing and Get Timing commands, you read a V phase value that equals 50, reduce the V phase timing of that input source by 50 lines.
5
Repeat steps 1 to 4 after adjusting the V phases of the sources, until all of the V phase values for the inputs are zero (i.e., the system is fully timed).
Router Configuration Settings

IconMaster
Installation and Configuration Manual
171
The Routing Configuration dialog box (
Figure 10-28
) is used to set up the type of router which IconMaster uses as its primary source router.
Router Mode
If the IconMaster is configured with NSM type NEO module routers, select the Internal
(NSM) Router setting. If any type of external router is used (Panacea, Integrator,
Platinum, or third party), select External Router.
External Router
Choose either of the following:
Select Serial Port if you have a serial connection between the IconMaster and the router.
Select Ethernet if you have an Ethernet connection between the IconMaster and the router. When you choose this option, the selections for a router name and the
IP addresses for primary and secondary controllers will become available.
If Ethernet is selected, serial port E is automatically released, and a pop up appears from ICU.
In circumstances when you have primary and secondary router addresses configured, failover will take place.
Router Database
If the IconMaster is configured with static inputs (router sources are assigned to
IconMaster inputs, without the operator ability to change the router assignments), then do not use the Router Database settings. However, if you wish to use the dynamic routing features of IconMaster, or to use an existing router database to select your
IconMaster sources (regardless of Dynamic Routing use), select the Using Routing
Database checkbox.
Selecting Sorted will optionally sort the router database alphanumerically.
If Using Routing Database is selected, you will need to create a router database and then send this database to the IconMaster through the Navigator application.
You cannot use the native RouterMapper DA4 database; you must convert it into
an XML format through CCS Navigator™. See page 199 for detailed instructions.
Switch All Audio in Database for Embedders allows a configuration to switch up to
15 levels of audio as defined in the router configuration of an imported Navigator router database.
Set the value in the Router Transition Delay spin box as appropriate for your router.
The router transition delay can be a value between 1 and 15. For Platinum routers, typically a value of “5” is required. With most other routers, the default setting of “1” will suffice. Assessment of the performance of your channel release system should be performed to ensure that the router transition delay meets your station’s requirements.

Router Configuration
Figure 10-29 System Configuration Dialog Box
The System Configuration dialog box includes settings for various IconMaster system parameters, each of which is detailed below.
Processing Priority
The Processing Priority settings affect how the IconMaster routes internal video and audio signals. Use the drop-down boxes in the A/V Path group to change Keyer priority settings and assign the FX priority.
The IconMaster has a separate Clean output which can be assigned as well. The video and audio pick positions for the Clean output can be set in the Processing Priority settings.
If the Disable FX checkbox is checked, the IconMaster FX squeezeback effects engine will be disabled.
Primary Input Mode
This setting affects whether 12 or 22 primary inputs are available to IconMaster.
If 12 Inputs is selected, the 12 primary source input buttons will select between all available input sources.
If 22 Inputs is selected, the primary source buttons will be split into one group of inputs numbered 1 – 11, and another group numbered 12 – 22. The far right primary source button will be used as the SHIFT button. When set to 22 Inputs mode, the
SHIFT button toggles between 1 – 11 and 12 – 22.
These modes are only available on ICONM-RCP devices, not on ICONM-RCP16.
Note: It is strongly suggested that you retime the IconMaster system if you change from 12 to 22 input mode. This will ensure the additional 10 inputs are correctly timed into
IconMaster. See page 168 for information on setting the timing for an IconMaster system.

Fast Reset Behavior
Note: Fast Reset is not available on ICONM-RCP16 control panels.
This setting allows you to quickly reset audio gain and/or PROC parameter settings for an IconMaster input source, internal or external keyer, Audio Over, or audio control item on the Audio Control Panel.
There are three separate operations that are enabled when the Fast Reset function is selected: SET, CLEAR, and RECALL. If the SET function is enabled, the parameter will not be reset, but its current value will be saved as the source’s user-saved reset value.
This is the value that will be used during a RECALL operation. If the CLEAR function is enabled, the user-saved reset value will be cleared (back to factory value), and the keyer’s parameters will also be reset back to this factory value. If the RECALL function is enabled, the user-saved reset value set up through a SET operation will be applied.
Reset values can be either a factory reset values (0 dB gain, and default keyer values), or can be user-saved reset values, which are saved on a source-by-source basis for audio gains and on a keyer-by-keyer basis for keyer settings.
If Audio Gain + Proc is selected, the IconMaster will reset the audio gains of the selected source or audio configuration item to unity. It also resets all PROC audio input parameters to their original default values.
If Audio Gain is selected, the IconMaster will reset the audio gains of the selected source or audio configuration item to unity, but it will not reset any of the PROC audio input parameters.
When fast resetting a keyer, all keyer parameters will be reset to their defaults.
When fast resetting an Audio Over, the Audio Over mix ratio will be reset to 50/50.
Take Button
This setting affects the system behavior when the TAKE button is pressed during a transition.
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.
Note: 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.
174
Chapter 10
Configuring IconMaster
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.
Figure 10-30 Audio Over Ratio in 50% Mix Mode
If 100% Mix is selected as a mode of operation, at 50% ratio the mix will be
100% of Audio Over and 100% of PGM, and will decrease respectively as you move “left” or “right” of the 50% mark.

When you select Logical IconMaster Inputs, the Automation system will only be able to switch PST and PGM bus inputs that have been assigned (through the Primary Input dialog box) to inputs 1 to 12 or 1 to 22 (depending on your configuration).
When you select Physical Router Inputs, you can switch unassigned sources directly from a router to any four IconMaster PST and PGM bus inputs ranging from 1 to 12 (or 1 to 22) that you will select from the Dynamic Inputs to Use drop down list boxes. When you select an input, IconMaster will check to see if that particular input has been assigned already to any of the PGM or PST bus buttons. If not, it will assign your source the to first, or top left, drop-down input box, which corresponds to inputs 1-12 (or 1-22) on the PGM or
PST bus.
Currently, Asynchronous Status Reporting and Automation Log are not supported.

The Clock and Timer dialog box includes settings for IconMaster's real-time clock and segment timer functions, each of which is detailed in
.
Table 10-11 Clock and Timer Settings Options
Item Description
CLOCK Enable Enables IconMaster to synchronize its internal real-time clock with an external clock source.
IconMaster uses the SNTP protocol across Ethernet to query an NTP time server.
CLOCK Source Enter the IP address of an NTP time server, as well as a time zone offset. NTP time server provides UTC time, and requires the client (IconMaster) to provide a local time offset. By default, IconMaster will re-sync its clock every 60 minutes. This can be changed by editing the
Re-Sync Interval field.
If using IconMaster's RCP as the clock source, the RCP must be connected to an external LTC timecode time-of-day source. Enter the RCP's IP address as the SNTP Server IP Address. In this status, the local time offset (Time Zone) setting will be ignored by IconMaster.
NOTE:
IconMaster does not maintain its real-time clock when power cycled. The NTP server (or
RCP) must always be available when IconMaster powers up and during operations.
Press the CLOCK button on IconMaster's RCP to Re-Sync IconMaster's clock with the NTP server.
The DST Start and End time should be identically set to 02:00. One hour will be automatically adjusted from the 02:00.

NOTE: if configuring a custom DST window, the dates may need to be changed annually.
If using IconMaster's RCP as the clock source, settings will be ignored by IconMaster, so just select Disable DST.
CLOCK Display IconMaster can display the clock in either 12h or 24h formats. When configured for 12h format, IconMaster can display AM/PM indicators. The Frame Count can also be optionally displayed.
TIMER Enable Enables IconMaster's segment timer functionality. When enabled, IconMaster will reset the segment timer to zero on each transition of the BKGD source.
Reset Timer There are two options: FX and Keyer/AO. Check one or both of these options, and
IconMaster will reset the segment timer on each FX transition and/or all keyer (video and
Audio Over) transition.
Clock and Timer are managed by the MKE card(s). They are not local to an RCP but they can change depending on what MKE the RCP is connected to. If the LTC output of a RCP is set to track the timer, it will NOT reset at a segment end if the panel is not connected.
The clock display of an RCP connected to a MKE that has never synced up with an NTP server will be --:--:--.--.
The text on the clock will be inverted if an RCP connected to a MKE has failed to resync with NTP server. In this situation, the MKE is free running (relying on its own clock).
The LTC output is only available on the HRCP RoHS compliant version of the HRCP (855T
RCP). The LTC output on the RCP is frame drop in 29.9, no frame drop in 25.

Enabling a Router Database for
Use with an IconMaster System
199
Overview
The IconMaster makes use of the Imagine Communications router configuration tools to create a router database for use in the IconMaster’s setup and for select operations.
If you are connecting the IconMaster to a Imagine Communications router for which you already have a Router database, you can use this database as a starting point.
Otherwise, use CCS Navigator to create a router database consisting of all sources and destinations which will be used with your IconMaster system.
Once a router database has been created, you will use the Imagine Communications
Navigator software to send this database to the IconMaster. You can also edit the database at any time from within Navigator, and update the IconMaster with a simple button press.
To configure the IconMaster’s source inputs from the router, you will use the IconMaster
Configuration Utility (ICU) to assign router sources as IconMaster inputs.
Finally, if you have configured IconMaster inputs as Dynamic, you will use this database to assign new router sources to the IconMaster inputs.
This chapter provides you with the information you need to perform these procedures.
The discussion that follows is based on the assumption that you have a working knowledge of Routers and the Navigator software application, and have used their other capabilities. If not, please refer to the appropriate manuals to familiarize yourself with their functions.
Setting Up a Router Database
Note: Databases for several popular Imagine Communications router configurations have
been provided with your IconMaster system. These can be found in the IconTools software directory (typically C:\Program Files
Harris IconTools). You can use these databases,
or create your own. See page 132 for a list of these “getting started” database files.
The steps described below direct you through the process to use for adding a router to a router database. For illustration purposes, the discussion will focus on adding a Panacea
16×4 routing switcher via Polling. For specific information on adding or editing other
Imagine Communications routers, please see your CCS Navigator documentation.

Chapter 11
Enabling a Router Database for Use with an IconMaster System
If you have set up a router database for your IconMaster primary router already, you do not need to set it up again. Go directly to the section titled

Select the Detected Matrices tab.
Matrix information should resemble the information shown in
Figure 11-5
.
Figure 11-5 Detected Matrices Tab
9
Click OK to close the dialog box.
When the database is first created, each logical source will be assigned a generic name such as “Input 1,” “Input 2,” etc. Each logical source can be renamed to uniquely identify the source. A source name can contain any 8 characters. To rename a source:
a
In the Navigation pane, select Routers > <name> > Control Views and double-click on the <Name> item.
The Edit Logical Database window will appear.
b
Select the Sources tab.
c
Highlight the text in the Name box.
Figure 11-6 Edit Logical Database
d
Over-type it with the new name.
IconMaster
Installation and Configuration Manual
203
e
Make sure that you follow the category/indexing format as described below.
When a source name is entered in the database, the name automatically creates a category. All characters to the left of last space in the source name become the category (the space will be included in the category name). All characters to the right of the space will become the index. If the source name does NOT include a space, the entire name will be used to create the category name. This may limit the number of sources that can be accessed from the panel. Use spaces appropriately when naming sources. If any character after the space is not a valid index character (valid characters are any combination of numbers, 0-9), the entire name will be used to create the category name.
If a logical source is named “VTR 1,” the category is named “VTR.”
If “VTR1” is typed without a space, the category “VTR1” will be created.
If “VTR 10Z” is typed, a category named “VTR 10Z” will be created (not a category
“VTR” and an index “10Z”).
10
If you made changes on any of the router tabs, the message “Needs Download” will appear next to the router name listed on the Navigation pane. Highlight the router and click
Download to download the revised settings to the router.

Troubleshooting
IconMaster Troubleshooting Checklist
This checklist should be used to ensure that the basic system is configured and wired properly. It is important to follow though these in order; the logic here is important to diagnose configuration issues.
Breakout
Module
Ensure the correct cable(s) are used for connecting to the IconMaster. The audio cables and the video cable look very similar. If the wrong cable is used, the MKE-3901 module may not even power up properly. MKE breakout cable is part # 165-000242-00 the MKA breakout is part # 165-000242-00.
Communication
1
Verify correct IP addressing on MKE-3901, MGI-3903, RCP, and PC.
2
Verify all components connected to a 10/100baseT switch.
3
Check that the control panel has been configured to control the MKE-3901 IP address.
4
Ethernet port 1 on the control panel is not used. Port 2 must be connected.
Video Signals
1
Verify correct firmware version is loaded into both the MKE-3901 and MGI-3903 modules.
The version can be viewed from the card edge controls of each module. The letters SD or
HD will be at the end of the version tag. Both versions of firmware are available from our
Web site.
2
Verify the correct genlock type and operating standard is selected in the Genlock configuration of the IconMaster Configuration Utility (ICU). Once set, the file must be saved and uploaded to the frame. If the operating standard does not match with the firmware version in the module you will receive an error. Starting with v1.2 the software prompts you to load the firmware.
3
Verify genlock is present at the MKE-3901 module. There is a lock LED on the far left of the board that indicates valid signal presence.
4
Connect two video sources to the bus A and bus B inputs of the MKE-3901. By selecting different sources on the program bus you should see the program output toggle between the two sources.
219
220
Chapter 12
Troubleshooting
Video Output is not Valid
Bypass the IconMaster and ensure the input source feeding the BusA and BusB signals appear on your downstream monitor by connecting a BNC "barrel" of the cable feeding IconMaster BusA/B input and the PST or PGM output monitor.
Verify the signals feeding into IconMaster are of the correct video standard, as set up in the ICU configuration.
Internal Router Control (NEO NSM)
1
Verify correct settings on the NSM modules.
The “first” NSM, which is used for inputs 1-5, should be set to Level 0, SrcOffset 1,
DestOffset 0.
The “second” NSM, which is used for inputs 6-12, should be set to XY Level 1,
SrcOffset 1, DestOffset 0.
2
Verify that external router control is not selected in the System Config section of the ICU.
Some versions may have a check box to select internal routing, otherwise deselect external.
Any changes need to be uploaded to the frame.
3
Verify that LockStat 1 and LockStat 2 parameters on the NSM module are set to Free.
External Router Control (Panacea, Platinum, EDGE)
1
Verify jumpers on MKE-3901 module are set for RS-232 or RS-422 control.
2
Verify jumper pack on breakout module is set for RS-232 or RS-422.
3
Verify cable pinout is correct for RS-232 or RS-422 connection to the router.
4
Verify the router serial port is correctly set for RS-232 or RS-422.
5
Verify that the router serial port is set to 38400 baud.
6
Verify that the serial cable to the router is connected to port E on the breakout module.
7
Verify that the level, source, and destination setup in the System Config/External Router
Configuration of the ICU and wiring match.
Audio Overs
When using the breakout module the audio over jumpers on the MKE-3901 module must be set to balanced, even if unbalanced AES inputs are used.
Software/
Firmware
Verify the firmware versions of all IconMaster components: MKE-3901, MGI-390x, RCP,
ICU. All software and firmware components must be from the same release. If one component is upgraded, the entire system must be upgraded.
Cannot PING the IconMaster Components From a Computer
Check IP addresses of IconMaster component and that computer
Check network mask settings
Check computer for firewalls or blocked ports
Ensure you can PING any other network devices from that computer
Check the lights on the Ethernet router(s) to ensure all devices are connected and operational
IconMaster
Installation and Configuration Manual
221
RCP Cannot Connect To An IconMaster Channel (MKE)
If the RCP's channel button is RED, then the RCP has a valid Ethernet connection to the
MKE channel, and is receiving regular heartbeat (keepalive) messages.
If you press a GREEN channel button, and it does not turn (and remain) RED, there are network connectivity problems preventing the RCP and the MKE to connect. Check IP addresses, router connections, and equipment configuration settings.
Cannot Communicate to the Primary Router
If IconMaster cannot communicate to the primary router, the primary source buttons will
FLASH, indicating a router communications error.
Note: Some systems may indicate a router communications error (by flashing) only at powerup. Pressing any PST source button will clear this indication. This is normal, and does not indicate an error.
Ensure the BKGD button on the RCP panel is selected and illuminated. If not selected,
IconMaster will not change the background source on the PST bus. THIS IS THE MOST
COMMON MISUNDERSTANDING.
If set up for serial router communications:
Verify the correct serial port is set up (ICU, System Config > Router Configuration)
Verify RS232 -vs- RS422 settings (jumper on MKE -3901 (see
on page 20) and jumper pack on breakout module
(see
Verify correct serial port wiring is used (see
If using an SPT to connect to the router, verify the DIP switch settings on the SPT for baud rate, protocol select, and XY terminations. An internal jumper pack must also be set correctly for either RS-232 or RS-422.
If set up for Ethernet connection, verify the correct router IP address information (ICU,
System Config ' Router Configuration)
Using ICU, verify the router setup on the System Config > Router Configuration and the
Input/Output > Primary Input screen.
Verify the correct router level and destinations are set up (ICU, Input/Output ' Primary
Input).
Monitor the router BusA and BusB destinations using a router control panel. Try selecting different sources to these router outputs: do these changes propogate through to the
IconMaster outputs?
Cannot Control the Internal (Logo) Keyers
Internal logo keyers are only available for IconMaster systems with MGI-390x modules.
IconMaster LITE systems do not include this module, and will not support internal logo keyer operations.
222
Chapter 12
Troubleshooting
If the Internal Keyer buttons are dark and do not display any text, the IconMaster is configured as a LITE system and is not authorized to support internal logo generators/ keyers. If this is in error, contact Imagine Communications Customer Support to review the IconMaster LITE license and to verify your MGI-390x module is included.
IconMaster licenses are applied through the ICU's License Management menu:
Figure 12-1 Adding a License
Select Get License to retrieve and display the IconMaster's MKE-3901 module serial number, and provide this information to the Imagine Communications Customer
Support team.
If the Internal Keyer buttons display the message "NO MGI CARD FOUND", the MKE module has not detected the MGI module. Remove the IconMaster card set from the NEO frame, and check the module-to-module connections. Ensure the board-to-board screws are securely fastened.
If the Internal Keyer buttons display the message "PLEASE WAIT LOADING LOGOS", the
MGI module is still in the process of loading logos from its offline (Compact Flash) storage, to online DDR memory. This process may take some time, depending upon the number of logos, logo size and duration, etc.
The color of the Internal Keyer's tally LCD is also helpful in troubleshooting:
OFF = No MGI card discovered, or IconMaster LITE
GREEN = Logo keyer is available, and not on-air
RED = Logo keyer is on-air
Internal Key Appears Corrupted
Keys can appear corrupted if the HD video standard is changed while an internal key is on air.
When changing between HD operating standards (for example, from 1080I to 720P), you must repower the IconMaster.

Installation and Configuration Manual
223
Cannot Control the External Keyers
The color of the External Keyer's tally LCD is also helpful in troubleshooting, and indicates whether an external fill/key signal is present to the IconMaster, and if the signal is timed or non-sync with the PGM signal.
OFF = External fill/key signal is not present.
IF the keyer is configured for self-key, only the FILL signal is checked.
IF the keyer is configured for any other type of key, both the FILL and KEY signals must be present.
GREEN = Keyer has a valid signal, and is not on-air.
RED = Keyer is on-air
ORANGE = Keyer has a signal, but the signal is either invalid, or not properly timed with the PGM signal and is considered non-sync. It will key into the program video, but may be vertically offset from the intended on-screen location.
