Krystal 4300Ordering Guide
Architectural Overview
The Krystal 4300 is expandable
from single-user/single-channel up
to an eight-channel pool with four
simultaneous users controlling
from one to four channels each.
The Krystal system has three
primary components or building
blocks:
•Control Panels
•The Controller System
•The Video Processor
Various Krystal systems are offered
with these building blocks.
The Krystal Control
Each control panel includes a
floppy disk drive for effects storage
and retrieval. Users can develop
and store “macros” on disk to
automate often-repeated sequences.
Independent Function Timelines
give you the finest control of each
attribute of your effects. Clipboard
editing with CUT, COPY, PASTE
makes changes quick and precise.
Macro programming further speeds
operation by permitting often-used
key sequences to be learned and
replayed at the touch of a button.
The Krystal provides 3D control of
up to four channels. These may be
positioned using Source & Target
coordinates. Channels can be
assigned to either of two global
channels and can be transformed
independently. Camera channel
allows viewing from any
perspective.
The control panel can be installed
flush in a counter top or placed on
the counter surface. Refer to the
installation planning guide for
details.
The Grass Valley 2200-2i
production switcher which
contains a built-in Krystal control
panel, can control one or two
Krystal channels.
The Krystal control system
includes an Effects Manager for
each simultaneous user, providing
real-time microprocessor control.
Up to two Effects Manager modules
can be installed in a Krystal system.
The Krystal Video Processor
The Video Processor contains all
the video processing hardware
required to manipulate in real time
an individual image and key in 3D
space. One Video Processor Frame
is required for each video/key
channel.
Each channel includes two autotiming serial digital component
video inputs and two auto-timing
serial digital component key inputs
to facilitate A:B switching. Source
selection can be accomplished
using the data interface to Grass
Valley Model 2200, 3000, and 4000
production switchers. An unused
Key input can also be configured as
a mask input. Preview, Program
and Key outputs, are provided for
each channel.
Krystal is capable of 525 or 625 line
operation; selectable session by
session. 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios
are supported.
The editor interface permits Krystal
to be controlled using a tape
machine-protocol.
The auxiliary port handles
peripheral protocol for simple
learn, recall, and event triggers.
System Integration
Krystal is designed for integration
with the following Grass Valley
products:
•Model 2200, 3000, & 4000
Production Switcher
•Performer SD 10x1 Routers
•Model 200, Model 250, Model
1000 and Model 1200
Production Switchers
•Grass Valley Max and SMS
8000 (format conversion
products)
Model 2200-2i
The 2200-2i control panel provides
control of both the Krystal Video
Processor channels and the
production switcher. The 2200-2i
control panel functions as a Krystal
control point. Note that the 2200-2i
control panel is specifically
designed for control of Krystal.
Other 2200 models are not
configured for this purpose, but can
be upgraded to a 2200-2i.
Training and Service
Grass Valley offers Service options
including:
•On-Site Post-Installation
Testing

the new 4340 System
Controller Frame.
Upgrading Krystal 4310 or 4320 Models to 4340 Models
The Video Processor upgrade kit (4300-256) must be ordered for
each 4310 Video Processor being converted. The adapter kit
provides a new Video Processor interface card and interconnect
cables. The new Video Processor interface card provides
communications between the Video Processor and the System
Controller. It replaces the interface card used in single-channel
systems. The modules being replaced should be retained if
conversion back to a 4310 is anticipated in the future. There is no
return or exchange for the modules.
The System Controller is a 13 rack unit chassis which houses up
to four Effects Managers, the Resource Manager, Tally Module,
and the Combiner options. The Resource Manager and Tally
Module are included with the System Controller. When upgrading
a 4310 or 4320 model system, the existing Effects Manager module
sets must be moved from the Video Processors to the System
Controller. One to four Effects Managers can be installed in the
System Controller.
Upgrade from existing 4310 or 4320 systems to 4340
The 4340 Upgrade consists of the following components:
•One 4340 System Controller frame
•Resource Manager and Tally Control module
