A K-Frame system can be subdivided into two suites, if desired, each of which can have two control surfaces (Surface A and Surface B). Each surface has it's own set of Panel Preferences for configuration of the control panel behavior and independent macro systems to allow for independent building and running of macros by each operator at the control surface. Hardware resources in the Video Processor Frame can be assigned to an individual suite during configuration, essentially creating two separate switchers sharing one frame (

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.

About Source Patching

Facility engineers need to know the exact routing of all the video signals connecting all the devices they are responsible for. These engineers need to be able to identify video signals in a way that will help them connect devices properly. Production personnel, on the other hand, are interested in the content they work with for their shows, and are generally not con cerned about which individual device or routing path is used to make those signals available. They just need a way to identify the content and access it when they need it. To support these differing needs, two source naming mechanisms are available on GV Switcher systems; Engineering Source ID and Logical ID.

By default engineering source IDs are mapped one-to-one with logical IDs but Source Patching can be used to quickly set up production elements for use in a different facility. For example, a show’s effects, DDR clips, and taped material may have been built in one production truck with one set of devices, but the next show is scheduled for a different truck. Previously, to use effects in the other truck the Technical Director (TD) would need to edit the engineering source definitions in the new truck so they exactly matched the old truck. By remapping the engineering sources of the devices in the new truck to the logical sources used to build the effects, all the effects can be used without having to edit them. Source Patching can also be used to quickly swap out a defective device during a show without having to reconfigure the engineering sources. In this case logical names seen by the production personnel would be identical for that content, even though the actual device playing the material changed.

Section 3

Note Source Patching is the bridge between engineering sources and logical

sources. Both TD and EIC should make reference to the Source Patch menu

when resolving source issues. The mechanism is similar in concept to a physical patch panel. Effects and all source selections a

sources. Tally and associations with external devices are based on engi- neering sources.

The Source Patch menu (Figure 18) scrolling list has more Logical IDs than physical inputs. These can be used to permit alternative processing of the same incoming signal. For example, the same camera input can be assigned

KAYENNE K-FRAME — User Manual 39

re based on logical

Section 3 — Setting Suite Preferences

to two Logical IDs, and one of these Logical sources can be given a Source Rule that can be cut on Key 5, and the other be given a Source Rule that cuts on Key 6. Selecting these different versions of that same source would auto matically apply or clear the keys, as needed.

Figure 18. Source Patch Menu

Engineering Names, Eng IDs, and Logical IDs

Engineering names are intended to identify a source as it applies to a specific facility. In a truck, for example, cameras may be hard wired to the production switcher and might be given Engineering names 1, 2, and 3. Names like Patch Engineering names are entered in the Eng Setup Source Definition menu, as described above. Engineering source IDs are numeric only, and are avail able on data pads and scroll knobs for quick selection. The GV Switcher system also has logical IDs, that can be used for source patching, as explained later.

14 or Rtr 5 may be used for inputs that are patched or routed.

Alternative Source Names

Alternative names can be assigned to sources for the convenience of production personnel. For example, you may give the cameras menu names that include the operator (C1

Bob, C2 Phil, and C3 Bill), but remove the

40 KAYENNE K-FRAME — User Manual

operator names from the OLED names to show C1, C2, and C3 in larger characters. These alternative names are entered in the Source Patch menu.

The Source Patch menu (Figure 19) has three editable columns for defining up to three alternative names:

A Panel Name is limited to four characters, to fit the space available on the Control Panel’s Transition Area. This name is only displayed on the Control Panel.

An OLED Name appears only on the Source Name Displays on the Control Panel. Up to eight characters are displayed.

A Menu Name is limited to eight characters, and appears on all the GV Switcher menu application screens except Engineering Setup menus, which always display engineering IDs or names.

Multiple Suites and Source Names

Different sets of these alternative source names are defined for each GV Switcher suite. Ensure the GV Switcher Menu Application you are using is logged into the correct suite ( neering names will be used by both GV Switcher suites, however.

Source Name Display Hierarchy

If a source’s engineering name is left blank, the Eng ID number will be used. If no alternative names are defined for that source, then that Eng ID number will appear on all the GV Switcher system displays.

If an engineering name has been entered (see the GV Switcher Installation & Service Manual for your model) then the engineering name will be dis played on all the GV Switcher system displays, including menus. Engineering names will be truncated to the character limits of the display, starting with the first character.

For alternative names entered in the User Setups, Suite Prefs, Source Patch menu (

For the three editable columns: Panel Name, OLED Name, and Menu Name, if any of the three are left blank for that source, the first name to the left appears in that display on the system (if all three are left blank, the name in the Eng. Source Column is displayed). For example, if an alternative name is entered in the OLED Name column for a source and the other two columns remain blank, the Menu Name takes the OLED Name (OLED Name being first to the left of the Menu Name) but the Panel Name takes the Eng. Source column’s name (first name to its left). If names are entered in all three alter native name columns, each area of the system displays the name entered in each column of the Source Patch menu (

It is a good practice to create the least number of names possible. This ensures consistency in the various displays and reduces the time needed to enter and edit the names. If you can create short engineering names that work for both the production staff and engineering, complete naming con sistency is assured. However, this level of simplicity is probably only feasible at a fixed installation where all the shows use the same source names. When multiple names are created, try to keep the first four characters unique, and make different names for the same source similar for ease of recognition.

Source Patching and Effects Portability

Source patching makes it possible to build effects on a GV Switcher system in one facility or truck, and then use those effects on a different system at another facility that has different Engineering source configurations. Building a Source Patch table prior to effects creation simplifies the migra tion of effects between facilities.

Plan out the sources you will use for a show, even ones that may not exist on the system where you are creating the effects. Build a list of Logical sources in the Source Patch menu without regard to the currently associ ated Engineering sources. After the list is built, map one of the facility’s existing Engineering sources to each Logical source. If physical devices don't exist for some planned sources, substitute a dummy Engineering source. You can then build your effects and verify that they run properly. When you are satisfied with the effects, save the Suite Prefs and E-MEM

effects you created to USB Memory Stick. At the new facility, load these files into that GV Switcher system. Do not load the Eng Setups of one facility into the other, as this will overwrite that facility’s existing Engi neering configuration.

Once the Suite Prefs and effects are loaded at the new facility, go to the Source Patch menu and map the appropriate Engineering sources of the new facility to the original list of Logical sources. Your effects should now run as previously designed without having to edit or rebuild them. When satisfied the effects run correctly at the new facility, save that Suite Prefs under a different name for use the next time you use this facility. Do not overwrite the original Suite Prefs, as you will need it when you return to the original facility.

GV Switcher system files are saved to the location that has been navigated to with the browser, creating copies of the information currently in use by the GV Switcher system. Files are copied from one location to another without affecting the current operation of the GV Switcher system. File information is loaded to GV Switcher system RAM, and this immediately affects the operation and capabilities of the GV Switcher system.

File and load operations are available from various menus. The same basic operating procedures are used at each location and each is divided into two navigational areas; Local Storage and Remote Storage.

GV Switcher Drive Access

The GV Switcher File Operation menus can access directories located on the Compact Flash in the Video Processor Frame (System Storage) and the Menu Panel hard drive (Remote Storage). Local and network drives mapped on the Menu Panel’s Windows system are also accessible (Remote Storage). Standard Windows functionality automatically maps all local drives during startup. Mapping network drives to a drive letter using the Windows Explorer allows them to appear at the top of the File Operation menus on that menu system.

File Storage Organization

The file browser gives you great flexibility for choosing and creating storage locations for your files. Any number of folders can be created in various locations. File folders and the files themselves can be named in any

KAYENNE K-FRAME — User Manual 53

Section 3 — Setting Suite Preferences

manner. To prevent accidentally saving and loading incorrect files, your facility should establish file storage and naming conventions and follow them consistently.

The engineer in charge should create default Panel and Suite Prefs files that are not to be modified by anyone, and shared by everyone. These can provide a known starting point for users when they build their own pref erence files.

Experienced users may want to create their own sets of preference files and save only critical ones in the Frame User directory. Other files can be loaded using the browser from any directory or be placed on a personal USB Memory Stick.

Use the Show feature to manage groups of files routinely used together for a particular production.

Save important files to the Menu Panel hard drive and a USB Memory Stick for backup, clearly label each (perhaps including the date), and store them in a safe place.

Managing Files Using the Utilities Pane Buttons in the File Ops Menus

Each File Ops menu category (Show Files, All Files, User Setups, etc.) has a Utilities Pane, with buttons to perform Copy, Paste, Delete and Create Folder operations and a

Multi-Select toggle button (Figure 26).

Saving Register Files

The key difference in these menus are the number of registers, for example the E-MEM menu has 1000 register files while the Macro menu has 999, and Router MEM has 100, and so on. Keep this in mind when entering registers.

Register files are named by their bank and register number. For example, the filename for E-MEM register 5 in Bank 2 would appear as EMEM25. File names consist of the bank and register appended with.GVR. It is important that these files retain these names, as the number determines which register will receive the data when files are loaded. In fact, register files saved locally to the Frame C: drive cannot be renamed. If you try to rename an EMEM file on the Frame C: drive an error message will appear in the message area. If for some reason an E-MEM file needs to be renamed, copy it to a local drive and rename it.

Each menu is similar to the other File Ops menus with a file display pane on the left and the same navigation and action buttons in the center.

Each menu provides the Utilities pane (Copy, Paste, etc.) and the ability to select all, individual, or a range of register files to be saved or loaded. In addition, in the File Operations pane, you can enter a starting register which allows you to save/load a register or range of registers to a different register or range of registers.

About K-Frame and Kayenne Show Files

When loading a show created on a Kayenne frame system into a K-Frame system, all the files transfer and the configuration files will set up the K-Frame switcher for most functionality. However, because the K-Frame hardware is different from the Kayenne frame, some settings will need to be changed. These adjustments affect Eng Setups, Panel Prefs, and Suite Prefs. In addition, while Macros and EMEMs from a Kayenne system will run, if they include fixed sources they will not produce the correct effect. Source Patching is one way to quickly resolve that issue.

E-MEMs and Macros – Source Patching

K-Frame fixed sources are different from Kayenne, so any Kayenne EMEMS and Macros using them will not run properly on K-Frame.

One of the quickest ways to adjust for E-MEM and Macro functions is to Source Patch the K-Frame fixed sources to the source IDs they had on Kay enne. Tab le 8 on page 79 shows this source patching. For example, source patch Logical Source 201 to Eng Source M1 A to make that K-Frame fixed source match Kayenne’s. This allows sources that were selected using E-MEMs and Macros on the Kayenne frame systems to be selected using K-Frame E-MEMs and Macros.

Video Mix/Effects

MEs and Keyers

An ME is a subsystem of a video production switcher that can create a composite of two or more pictures. An ME includes multiple source selection buses and provides transition (mix and wipe) and keying capabilities on the selected signals.

Keyers are used to insert part of one picture into another to create a composite picture. Keying involves three signals:

• background,

• key cut, used to specify where to cut a hole in the background, and

• key fill, used to fill the hole in the background. The fill can be an

incoming video signal or it can be an internally generated matte.

Section 4

Chroma Key

A separate key cut input signal is not necessarily required for keying. For example, a self key (also called a video key) uses the same input signal for both key cut and key fill.

The GV Switcher system supports the following types of keys:

• Linear Key (fixed and adjustable)

• Luminance Key

• Preset Pattern

• Chroma Key (option)

The GV Switcher system also supports self keys and split keys.

The GV Switcher system features the chroma keyers option with powerful controls. These controls offer subtle adjustments to allow successful keying of difficult subject matter (fine hair, smoke, translucent objects, etc.), and to overcome some problems resulting from imperfect chroma key set coloring

or lighting. The GV Switcher chroma key also has an Auto Setup feature that can create an excellent chroma key under most circumstances without the need for manual adjustment.

The following information provides more detailed instructions on how to set up a chroma key using the Auto Setup feature and use the manual con trols in the Keyer menu.

Chroma Key Auto Setup

The first step of setting up most chroma keys is to use Auto Setup. Auto Setup automates the first steps to achieving a chroma key. Auto Setup per forms the following:

• Calculates primary suppression Hue and Luminance.

• Sets primary suppression Selectivity and Chroma to defaults.

• Calculates Clip Low, and sets Clip Hi to default.

• Sets all the secondary suppression values to duplicate the primary sup-

pression values, but turns secondary suppression off.

• Changes Opacity temporarily to 100% to permit an accurate backing color sample, and then returns it to its original setting.

• Sets Key Position and Size values to default (0).

Two different Auto Setup algorithms are available, one for well designed and lighted sets (

Reshape on). Depending on individual circumstances, additional manual

( adjustments may be required after you use Auto Setup.

After an Auto Setup has been initiated, you can cancel it by pressing the

Auto Setup button again, but the chroma key will retain the default settings

If the Auto Setup of the hue fails to provide a suitable chroma key, additional controls are available in the Keyer menu for fine tuning the key. Chroma key manual set up consists of choosing the best set of compromises to provide adequate detail and color fidelity to meet your needs. While using this menu you need to view the chroma key scene on a monitor. A vectorscope and waveform monitor can also be very useful when setting up a chroma key. During set up you need to focus your attention on partic ular areas of the foreground, background, and/or composite. The areas you look at will change depending on the individual controls being used. The

FG Only and BG Only menu buttons can be used to remove extraneous picture

information, allowing you to view only those areas of the composite.

82 KAYENNE K-FRAME — User Manual

Chroma key set up procedures follow a recommended order, as indicated by the numbered steps displayed on the menu. However, requirements can vary depending on each individual scene. You may need to go back to earlier steps and readjust previous settings to optimize the key. Under standing what the chroma key controls do will help you decide what adjustments are required for your individual situation.

Access Keyer Menu and Delegate Keyer

On the Menu Panel, touch Keyer, Mode. You can also double press the Chr button in the Multi-Function area to access this menu. Delegate the keyer you wish to set up on the left side of the screen, then touch the Mode button (

Chroma Key

Primary Suppression

Primary suppression is the most critical chroma key parameter, and the easiest to set. Auto Setup should take care of this, but manual adjustments can be made if desired. If primary suppression is set wrong, however, it will be impossible to achieve a good chroma key with the other controls.

KAYENNE K-FRAME — User Manual 83

Section 4 — Video Mix/Effects

Primary Suppression should be set while looking at the foreground. Ideally the backing color will appear as a small dot on the vector scope and a per fectly flat line on the waveform display, but this never occurs due to set lighting variations, shadows, etc. This means you will need to pick the best suppression for the overall look of the key.

You can touch the stage 1 Pri Suppress data pad, if necessary, to activate these controls ( primary suppression to eliminate the backing color.

For example, when keying on green, a greenish yellow shirt might be affected by the suppression. If so, adjust the selectivity high enough to reject that color. Too high a selectivity is one of the classic causes of a noisy key. If the foreground subject is stationary, consider using a force mask instead of increasing selectivity.

You want to center it exactly, so no chroma exists in the backing area. 100% chroma suppression is the correct setting for all chroma keys.

Note that incomplete luminance suppression is not necessarily bad. The highlights added to the background will match the shading on the backing wall, adding natural shadows and perhaps eliminating the need to add artificial shadows.

• All the above adjustments may need to be revisited later.

Another potential artifact of chroma keying is a tinting of the overall foreground subject due to lighting splash from the backing color or lens flare.

Reshaping a Chroma Key Using Auto Setup

If the set is lit unevenly or has other problems, Reshape is available to help solve the problem. A better alternative, if time permits, is to adjust the lighting on the set to even out the backing color. This may improve the key so that Reshape is not needed.

1. If you decide you must use Reshape, follow the Auto Setup procedure

The purpose in adjusting Clip Hi and Clip Low is to cause the proper hole to be cut in the background. All areas of the backing color should be full back ground while all areas of the foreground should make the background completely invisible. The easiest way to do this is to observe the key signal while making your adjustments.

KAYENNE K-FRAME — User Manual 87

The smaller the difference between Clip Hi and Clip Lo, the higher the keyer gain. High gain amplifies noise present in the transition between trans parent and opaque. The correct setting is with Clip Hi and Clip Lo set to just barely achieve opacity and transparency, respectively

Reshape is useful when shading variations exists in the backing color. A better alternative, if time permits, is to adjust the lighting on the set to even out the backing color. This may improve the key so that Reshape is not needed.

Applying Chroma Key Secondary Color Suppression

Secondary color suppression is intended to improve the color of translucent areas (e.g., glass or smoke) or fine detail near the edge of a foreground subject (e.g., hair). These areas can be take on some of the backing color. Much less secondary suppression will be needed than is used for primary suppression, because the foreground color is only partially corrupted by the backing color. Because there is a mixture of backing color and fore ground color, the secondary suppression Hue and the direction (Angle) will be different from primary suppression. Primary suppression removes the backing color, while secondary suppression corrects the color in trans lucent areas.

2. Adjust secondary suppression Hue and Selectivity so that the translucent

• When making this adjustment, it is helpful to turn the secondary

to produce an unnatural color in the affected area. This makes the changes to secondary suppression more obvious.

• Selectivity should be kept as wide as possible. You should only narrow selectivity (increase its value) if you cannot avoid changing opaque areas of the foreground.

3. Adjust the secondary Angle so that changing secondary Chroma

suppression moves the color in the desired direction. You are trying to match the color of the translucent areas to an opaque (uncorrupted) area of the foreground subject.

Generating Background Mattes

Background matte generators create colors and washes. These can be used, for example, as the backgrounds for keys.

Background mattes cannot use the wipe pattern generators available to keyer and wipe mattes, and cannot use Utility video as a wipe source. Instead background mattes employ a simple dedicated wipe generator that creates a single, straight line.

• Setup a key patch (an implicit split key). This split key is used whenever

that logical source is selected, and adds operational flexibility. See Patch

a Key Input from One Source to a Different Source Using Patch Key on
