Miranda Imagestore IS750-R2

Hi everyone,
We have a Miranda Technologies Imagestore 750 R2. When I opened the chassis for inspection, I noticed an empty space near the power supply unit (PSU).
I would like to know whether this empty space is part of the normal chassis design or whether an optional or essential circuit board may have been removed.
Could anyone familiar with the Imagestore 750 R2 please help clarify?
● Is this empty space common in the standard IS750 R2 chassis?
● Were any optional boards installed in this area on certain configurations?
● How can I identify whether a board is missing from my unit?
I have shared photo of the internal chassis and the empty space for reference.
Any advice from broadcast engineers or anyone who has serviced this model would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Mac network switching

4 Upvotes

Hello,

Shamelessly plugging an app I wrote because I got annoyed at work.

I’m a Mac user and have to switch between many different networks in projects and frankly even when setting up kit and putting it on the network so I made a tool to do that.

https://www.networkswitcher.co.uk

You can switch between networks automatically or manually and have preset groups for different projects or locations.

All free and not scraping anyone’s details, just wanted to give something back.

Feedback welcome!

Thanks!

BLAST - trigger mediaplayer for broadcast

0 Upvotes

Hey all — I've been building BLAST, an instant-trigger media player for live radio, podcast and broadcast work. The idea is simple: press a key, a jingle/sting/bed fires straight to the exact output your console needs — no mouse-hunting mid-show.

What it does:

Hotkey pad grid (1-0, QWERTYUIOP, ASDFGHJKL, ZXCVBNM) — every pad's pre-loaded so there's zero lag the first time you hit it live

Per-pad/per-bank output routing, so different carts can go to different channels on one interface

Built-in waveform trim, playlist decks for music beds, Dual Mono mode

Remote control via API/MIDI/OSC, plus a Web Player to trigger pads from your phone or tablet

Running Order mode for scripted rundowns, and a read-only "backstage" screen with a live countdown + chat so your team always knows what's coming next

Every service is enable/disable so you can display only the services that make sense to your work.

Free to try (everything unlocked for 3 months). Windows now, macOS version in testing.

I'm looking for people who actually run a live show or simply want to take a look into it. — radio, podcast, church AV, whatever — to put it through real use and tell me what breaks or what's missing.

Happy to answer anything here.
