Conversion of E-MEM Effects from Prior Releases

On loading E-MEMs created with version 1.5 or 2.0 software, they are auto­matically converted into version 3.0 format. This conversion process is
indicated in the menu status box. It is strongly recommended that old
effects are loaded and then re-saved in version 3.0 format to avoid the over
head of conversion each time the effect is loaded.

Although significant conversion automatically takes place, there are a few
exceptions which require manual modification of older effects.

Converting Version 2.0 Effects:

No action required.

Converting Version 1.5 Effects:

Trans Rate

-

eDPM effects that are required to be controlled by Master E-MEM, need to
have a keyframe inserted at the beginning and end of the effect on the cor
responding Primary or Secondary Master E-MEM Proxy level.

Camera Control with Ethernet Tally

Kayenne Camera Integration provides the ability to place cameras into a
usable but not fully shaded setup/rehearsal mode. The Kayenne Switcher
can connect to up to 99 cameras via the Grass Valley LDK Connect
Gateway. Cameras can be acquired by multiple suites.

Switcher camera control is provided by the Menu Panel and Multi-Func­tion Module in the Control Panel.

Camera control from the Kayenne system makes camera source setup fast
and easy by allowing you to:

• Turn color bars on/off to quickly identify which source is associated

with a camera,

• Control a subset of camera settings:

• Auto Iris enable/disable,

• Auto Black level (trigger),

• ND (Neutral Density) Filter settings, and

Camera Control with Ethernet Tally

• Load a Scene File with a single button push or recall a Scene File with

an E-MEM.

Note The Camera sub-level is assigned to an E-MEM level in the Menu Panel.

Ethernet Tally allows you to:

• Tally camera associated sources using Tally Calcs and

• Tally the Red, Yellow, or Green indicator on the camera from the
