Touch Screen Menu Panel Option
A hardware Karrera Menu Panel is available as an option, which features a
wide format 15 in. touch screen display. An articulated arm is also
included, offering a wide variety of installation options (
Figure 4. Menu Panel with Articulated Arm
Figure 4).
The Menu Panel has a standard VESA-75 hole pattern and M4 threads,
compatible with this and many other mounting devices. The Menu Panel
also has four USB ports, two on the right side edge of the panel and two on
the back for keyboard and mouse (wired or wireless are supported).

Soft Panel (KSP) Option
Figure 5. Soft Panel Application
K-Frame Control Surfaces
The KSP is an optional 1-ME Soft Panel GUI which provides direct control
of switching crosspoints, recalling effects and macros together with an inte
grated version of the Menu application. A customized PC keyboard is
included with the option for users who like quick cut and mix action from
a hard-button interface. The KSP can be used as an adjunct to a main panel,
providing a second seat (second control surface) in a Suite, or as the only
control surface for a second Suite.
The KSP GUI application is designed to run on a PC platform. The screen
must be 1920x1080 resolution or better (which is common in professional
video environments). A touchscreen is not required, but can be very useful.
The KSP software is included with the switcher application software. Purchasing the option provides a software license that enables the interface for
the selected switcher, and includes a customized PC keyboard. The license
activates an unlimited number of KSP applications associated with the
licensed video processor frame. Additional customized PC keyboards are
also available for purchase.
Menu Application
The Menu application software provided with every K-Frame system can
be run on a standard PC. This software accesses all the system’s function
ality, permitting mouse and keyboard control from a laptop, or remote
control from any location on the network.

K-Frame System Examples
Basic Single Suite Karrera Panel System
A basic K-Frame system consists of a Control Panel, a Menu application
running on a PC, and a Video Processor Frame. The Control Panel and
Menu application make up a control surface associated with that frame.

Multiple Suites and Control Surfaces
A K-Frame system can be subdivided into two suites, if desired, each of
which can have two control surfaces. Hardware resources in the Video Pro
cessor Frame can be assigned to an individual suite during configuration,
essentially creating two separate switchers sharing one K-Frame (
Figure 7).

Control Panel Source Select Button Mapping
Video sources can be assigned or “mapped” to Control Panel Source Selection buttons, referred to as “Button Mapping”, on each Control Panel
Mix/Effects (ME) bank and the Local Aux Panel. The same source can be
mapped to one or many buttons. Button mapping is also used to assign
Aux buses to delegation buttons, referred to as “Aux Delegate Button Map
ping”.
Source Select buttons on the Grass Valley Video Production Control Panel
and Local Aux can be changed from the defaults to best suit how you work.
Technical Directors often map groups of sources together, like cameras,
character generators, Image Store and ClipStore Channels, and other kinds
of like sources, or a TD may setup the source select buttons in the order they
plan to switch a show.
Section 2

Button mapping settings are included as part of Panel Preferences, and can
be saved and instantly loaded for use at any time from the File Ops, User
Setups menu.
Note If a GV Switcher system’s NV memory is cleared, the button mapping for the
Control Panel and Local Aux will revert to the factory defaults.

• Button Count buttons (15, 25, and 35) are used to select the button count
for the Control Panel. For example if the menu has not been associated
with a Control Panel or if using a 15 or 25 button Control Panel with a
35 button Aux Panel, the button count can be selected manually (this
selection is automatic if a panel has been associated in the
data pad, in the Eng Setup, Node Settings, Frame Suite Nodes &
Panel
ID menu).The Source Select button scrolling list allows you to select a
source select button to assign a source from the Logical/Fixed Sources
list.
Special Buttons are used to assign Delegate and Shifted Levels to Source
Select buttons:
• Delegate button is used to assign the Keyer and Bus Row delegations to
source select buttons.
Second Shift, Third Shift, and Fourth Shift buttons are used to assign those
•
shift levels to source select buttons.
Same as 1st button is used to assign the source from the first level on a
•
bus to another shifted level for that bus (Second, Third, or Fourth).
Associated
None button assigns the selected source select button as unmapped.
•
When a Special Button is selected as a mapped source for a Source Select
button, that assignment will be given to each level of that bus; each can be
changed individually afterward.
