Term Definition
Alarm Alarms are the central feature of monitoring in iControl Edge. There are three types of alarms
in the General Status Manager (GSM): events, statuses, and text alarms. Each alarm is a
status report on a specific condition within a site, triggered by equipment interfaced with the
iControl Edge system, or by scripts. Alarms can appear on an iControl Web page, in the Alarm
Browser, in iC Navigator, and in system logs.
Allégro Miranda’s Allégro is a line of 1 RU streaming encoders/servers that enables real-time
confidence monitoring of remote signals by using low latency streaming of video, audio and
data over a standard IP network. Allégro combines encoder and server functions to allow
streaming audio, video and data to be sent over standard IP networks for monitoring of
critical broadcast signals. It integrates telemetry such as signal presence, VBI extraction and
audio level metering.
Allégro encoders can be remotely managed from a central location, and numerous local and
remote player clients can monitor the same signal. Streaming video for Allégro can be fully
integrated into Miranda’s iControl or Kaleido products.
Application Server The iControl Edge Application Server is a compact server that interfaces to audio, video, and
other hardware through a variety of configurable ports (RS-232, RS-422, Ethernet). The
Application Server hosts the various software modules that make up iControl Edge. Users
connect to an Application Server from any desktop or portable computer, using a Web
browser.
GSM The General Status Manager is an iControl service responsible for central management of all
alarm conditions and error logging.
iC Navigator iControl Navigator is an application that lets operators view, control and monitor devices on
an iControl Edge network. It gives operators direct access to the control windows of both
Miranda Technologies and third-party equipment. It shows the status of devices and services
in a hierarchical view, so that a system problem can quickly be pinpointed. It also supports
administrative tasks such as status reporting and logging.
