Kayenne Control Surfaces
A Kayenne control surface typically consists of a Control Panel, a Menu
Panel with an included articulated support arm, a Panel Control Unit
(PCU) frame, and optional Satellite Panels. This control surface has an
innovative modular design. Representative Kayenne control surfaces are
shown in the following illustrations.

The modular design and use of a separate PCU supports the hot-replacement of individual Control Panel components, if necessary, while the rest
of the system remains operational.
Multiple Suites and Control Surfaces
A Kayenne 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 from one Kayenne system. A
Kayenne PCU can support two control surfaces using its eight available
ports.
Flat or Curved Control Panel Orientation
The main Kayenne Control Panel supports different physical orientations.
Besides a conventional flat surface, a special support design permits a
curved working surface, where the MEs progressively tilt for improved
ergonomics (
Figure 6).

Concepts
Introduction
Section 2
In general, any video switcher receives multiple video inputs, performs
signal processing on selected input signals, and then outputs the processed
video. Efficient real time switcher operation is essential for live production,
and can save valuable time in post production environments as well.
Several innovative concepts are employed in the Kayenne Video Produc
tion Center to enhance its operational speed and flexibility. Understanding
these concepts, as well as basic switcher fundamentals, will help you take
full advantage of the exceptional power of the Kayenne system.
-
Kayenne System Configuration Overview
The Kayenne Video Production Center is designed for operational flexibility, and can be configured to fit various applications. Different Kayenne
systems can have different capabilities, or the same Kayenne system can be
re-configured to have different capabilities at different times. The system
has also been designed to support multiple users on the same system, but
remains suitable for use by a single operator. For these reasons, it is impor
tant for you to have a basic understanding of how a Kayenne system is configured.
The way a Kayenne Video Production Center is wired into your facility
affects the Kayenne system’s capabilities. For example, the number and
types of sources physically connected to the system obviously determines
what video the system can handle. However, because Kayenne system
inputs and outputs can be configured, once video cables are physically con
nected they need not be moved. Configuration settings also control many
other capabilities that affect Kayenne system behavior.

KAYENNE — User Manual25
Section 2 — Concepts
Engineering Setups
Kayenne Video Production Center configuration information is divided
into three areas, to simplify and increase the speed of reconfiguring the
system. The basic areas of Kayenne configuration are:
•Engineering Setups (settings established by the engineer in charge that
affect the entire system, which never need to be changed by operators),
•Suite Preferences (settings for a suite that affect all the operators
working in that suite, that are designed to suit a particular show or production style and ensure a consistent working environment), and
•Preferences (settings that give the operator the ability to customize his
individual work surface to meet his personal preferences).
All Kayenne configuration settings are non-volatile. Disk save and load
operations are available that allow users to store configuration information
on removable media for easy transport and for use as backup copies.
Engineering Setups control how the Kayenne Video Production Center’s
major components behave and interact, and how the Kayenne system inter
acts with the rest of the facility. Engineering Setups are not likely to change
on a daily basis and so are grouped separately from the Suite and Panel
Preferences. Facility maintenance personnel or the engineer in charge of a
production truck generally manages Engineering Setups.
NoteIt is not recommended that you store Engineering Setup files with Show files.
Engineering Setups information includes:
•Acquired Resources menu (if assigning ME 50 (half ME) to a logical
ME)
•Networking IP addresses,
•Source definition (described later in this section),
•Output assignment (identifying which output connectors are Program,
which are Preview, etc.),
•Single Suite or (for Resource Sharing) Multi Suite operating mode, and
-
•Various other system functions.
Suite Preferences
A Kayenne suite corresponds to a control room, where there is a grouping
of one or more control surfaces. Suite Preferences define how all the control
26KAYENNE — User Manual
Kayenne System Configuration Overview
surfaces associated with a Kayenne suite behave when they control the
Kayenne system. Some parameters (for example, safe title displays) must
be identical to all Kayenne users involved in a session. Suite Preferences
can substantially change system behavior, not just a user’s view of the
system. Suite Preferences are intended for day-to-day or session-to-session
changes in Kayenne system operating behavior and so are open for modi
fication by operators.
The Resource Sharing feature makes it possible to configure the Kayenne
system with two suites, corresponding to two different work envrion
ments. Each suite can be operated with its own Suite Preferences settings.
Suite Preferences include:
•Resource Allocation
•Source patching
•Safe title, preview behavior, etc.,
•Default Source Memory (initial keying and video processing settings
used for each source on each bus),
-
-
•Default Keyframe (initial settings for many other user controls), and
•Various other suite preferences.
Panel Preferences
Panel Preferences allow users to customize a Kayenne control surface to
suit their personal operational style. Panel Preferences apply to only one
control surface, and only affect the behavior of the panel controls available
to a single operator. Panel Preferences do not change Kayenne system capa
bilities.
The Resource Sharing feature makes it possible to configure each of the two
two suites with two different control surfaces. Each control surface can run
its own Panel Preferences settings.
Panel Preferences include:
•Source to button mapping (described later in this section),
•Aux bus delegation button mapping,
•Panel color scheme,
•Source color,
-
•Macro and E-MEM start number, and
•DPOP prefs.
KAYENNE — User Manual27
Section 2 — Concepts
Signal Routing
Inputs and Sources
Incoming video signals are connected to the Kayenne system via connectors on input modules located at the back of the Kayenne Video Processor
frame. All inputs are serial digital (SMPTE 259M, CCIR 601). Signals from
external devices not operating in this standard will need to be converted.
Some devices (for example, a camera providing serial digital output) may
provide a video signal that can be received on a single connector. However,
other devices may output multiple signals. For example, a character gener
ator usually provides a signal with two components (commonly called
video and key). Some incoming signals may also originate from devices the
Kayenne system can control (Router, DPM, DDR).
NoteAlthough the character generator utilizes two inputs, it should
be defined as only a single Video/Key source (CGx). It is not
required to source define or button map the character generator’s Key signal.
-
For a Kayenne Video Production Center, the term source refers to all the
video signals and other attributes associated with a device. This is a funda
mental concept. The Kayenne system is based on sources, not input signals
or crosspoints. Each source can be given a descriptive name, but has an ID
number for absolute identification. The Kayenne system uses ID numbers,
not source names or input connectors, to identify each source. Defining
each source is an important aspect of the Kayenne system.
Source Definition
When the Kayenne system is first configured, all sources are defined so the
incoming signals from each device can be used effectively. This is usually
done by engineering personnel, not operators, and once set these defini
tions are not changed. A source definition data file tells the system how
many signals a source has (video only, or video and key), which physical
inputs to route whenever a particular source is selected, the default pro
cessing of the source’s key signal (if present), and what external devices (if
any) are associated with that source. Tally is another important attribute of
a source. On-air tally relays are related to sources, not physical inputs or
source select buttons. The source definition process includes assigning a
name to each source. Once sources are defined, they are mapped to specific
source selection buttons. The user is then able to select the source by
pressing its button, and the Kayenne system automatically manages all the
necessary signals, performs any default processing, and enables any addi
tional control capabilities associated with that source.
-
-
-
-
28KAYENNE — User Manual
Source definition data is stored as a part of Engineering Setups. Only one
set of source definition data can be active on a Kayenne system at a time.
Note that source definition is separate from source memory (part of Suite
Prefs), and specifies what processing is to be applied to the source and can
dynamically change during system operation.
Source to Button Mapping
Source to button mapping makes it possible to organize sources on
Kayenne Control Panels in a preferred order. For example, cameras can be
placed on the left side or the right side of the button row, whichever is pre
ferred. Source mapping is distinct from source definition, as source
mapping only involves the location of sources on the Control Panel and
does not affect any capabilities defined for the sources. Note that E-MEM
effects store the source IDs, not the source select buttons, so remapping or
unmapping of sources will not change the appearance of recalled effects.
On the Kayenne system, button mapping for each Control Panel bank and
Local Aux Module can be different.
Signal Routing
-
Source Naming
Names can be given to sources. The Kayenne system actually supports different source naming schemes, with associated IDs, to accommodate different needs.
Engineering ID – An unchanging numeric value associated with a source. This
value is used to unambiguously identify each source from an engineering
perspective, regardless of how it may have been named. On-air tally uses
Engineering IDs so the proper device always receives tally.
Engineering Name – An editable name that can be associated with a source,
intended for use by facility engineers to ease source identification. An Engi
neering name may that of a particular hard wired device (Cam 1), or it may
indicate a patch bay location or a router source or destination. Naming
sources in this manner can help engineers configure and re-configure their
facility wiring.
Logical ID – An unchanging numeric value associated with a source used in
a production environment. E-MEMs, source selection, macros, source
memory, and source rules, all use Logical IDs.
Alternative Names – Alternative editable names that can also be associated
with a Logical ID. Generally alternative names are short to make larger
characters appear in the Kayenne system Displays.
-
Source Patching
The Kayenne system allows logical sources to be associated with different
engineering sources. A source patch table is used to map Logical IDs to
Engineering IDs. This table acts like a patch bay. It then becomes possible
KAYENNE — User Manual29
Section 2 — Concepts
Source Memory
Buses and Crosspoints
to use effects in different environments. For example, effects created in one
production truck equipped with one set of devices can be used in a dif
-
ferent truck with different devices by modifying the source patch table.
Source Patching associates all attributes of a defined source’s tally and attributes if included, for example: key signal, external device settings, and
router destination settings.
Keying and other parameters can be saved to a separate source memory for
every Kayenne system source. These parameters can be applied automati
cally whenever that source is selected. See Source Memory on page 65 for
specific information.
A bus is technically defined as a signal path where one of several available
inputs can be selected to feed a single output. A crosspoint is an electronic
switch that allows a signal to pass when the switch is closed. On video
switchers, a bus can be constructed containing a series of crosspoints,
which permits selecting which one of several incoming signals will be sent
out the bus. In
Figure 9, source 2 has been selected on the background A
bus. This signal can now be called background video and is available for
further processing.

Buttons on a Control Panel can be used to control the switching of crosspoints. The buttons are usually arranged horizontally, making it easy to
imagine the available signals coming in from the top, and the single bus
output signal going out the right side.
In earlier generation switchers, the terms crosspoint button and crosspoint bus
have been used in reference to Control Panel source selection. For a
Kayenne system, the terms source button and source bus will be used. These
terms better reflect a system operating philosophy that is based on sources
rather than crosspoints. The Kayenne system does not directly associate a
source select button with a physical crosspoint. The association goes first
