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 Karrera 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,
and includes a customized PC keyboard. The license activates an unlimited
number of KSP applications associated with a video processor frame.
Additional customized PC keyboards are also available for purchase.

Introduction

The Karrera Control Surface allows you to customize how you work and
how you save your switcher settings. You can create personalized user
setups and suite preferences that determine the look and operational char
acteristics of the Control Surface. User setups and preferences can all be
saved and transported on removable media (see File

page 39).

Some configurations will require setup in the Engineering menus as well.
Detailed descriptions of the Engineering menus are available in the
Karrera Installation & Service Manual.

This section will provide you with information about setups and prefer­ences for basic Karrera operations. For more advanced setups and opera­tion see Advanced Operations on page 217.

Button Mapping

Button mapping assigns video sources to source selection buttons (Source
Button mapping). Button mapping is also used to assign Aux buses to del
egation buttons (Aux Delegate mapping). This allows you to customize the
Control Panel and configured Remote Aux Panels to meet your individual
needs. Button mapping settings are included as part of Panel Preferences,
and can be saved and instantly loaded for use at any time (see
tions on page 39).

Button mappings of the Control Panel are set at the factory before shipment
to the settings listed below.

KARRERA — User Manual 25

Section 2 — User Setups and Preferences

Source Button Mapping

On the Karrera system, each bank on the Control Panel (Source Select areas)
can have its own independent source-to-button mapping, if desired, as well
as each Remote Aux Panel. Typically button mappings on the Control Panel
are set the same, for operating simplicity. However, in some situations indi
vidual bank mapping can be advantageous. For example, on a show with a
large number of sources you can place all the DDR and VTR sources on one
bank, all the cameras on another bank, etc., and then have direct access to
any desired source. If you use this feature, source names should be defined
for all sources on all banks so the different sources can be identified.

The Button Mapping menu is accessed by touching User Setups, Panel Prefs,

Button Mapping (Figure 8).

The Banks delegation buttons (Figure 8) are used to select the device to be
mapped.

Notice that a Select All button is available below the list of bank buttons.

2. Scroll the Button list in the central pane and touch the bank source

button to be mapped in the center pane.

3. Scroll the Sources list on the right and touch the desired Karrera source

in the right pane. As the mappings change, the names of the different
sources will appear on the source name displays on the Control Panel.

4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 until all the bank buttons have been mapped.

Remote Aux Panel Source Button Mapping

Button Mapping

Note Remote Aux Panels must be installed and configured before their buttons can

be mapped. Remote Aux Panels assigned to a control surface can only be
configured when the Menu Panel is accessing that control surface. See the
separate Karrera Installation & Service Manual for Remote Aux Panel config­uration procedures.
