6 K-FRAME — Installation Planning Guide

Introduction

Overview

The Grass Valley K-Frame family of multi-format digital production
switchers provides powerful, ground-breaking features designed to meet
the widest range of requirements for live studio, mobile, and post-produc
tion applications.

The K-Frame Video Processor is the heart of the system, providing exten­sive video switching and signal processing capabilities. This functionality
is controlled using:

• a Kayenne control surface,

Section

-

• a Karrera control surface,

• the Soft Panel (KSP option), and/or

• the Menu application running on a PC.

In addition, a K-Frame system supports direct control of external devices
(DDRs, Servers) and bi-directional control to and from routing and auto
mation systems.

Section 1 — Introduction

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.

CAUTION

Do not connect or disconnect the PCU to Control Panel cables
while the system is powered on.

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.

The main Kayenne Control Panel is organized into from one to five Stripes.
Each Stripe consists of a tray and its complement of drop-in modules. An
ME Stripe has a module for Source Selection, Transition, and individual
E-MEM control. Additional Master E-MEM, Machine Control, Multi-Func­tion, and Local Aux modules are populated to complete the control surface
functionality.

Each Kayenne control surface includes a Menu Panel that features a wide
format 15 in. touch screen display. An articulated arm is also included,
offering a wide variety of installation options. The Menu Panel has a stan­dard VESA-75 hole pattern and M4 threads, compatible with this and many
other mounting devices.

The Menu Panel 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 sup
ported).

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).

A fanless PC, running Windows OS, is available which mounts behind the
Menu Panel.

Soft Panel (KSP) Option

Figure 12. 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.

Kayenne K-Frame System Examples

Basic Single Suite Kayenne Panel System

A basic K-Frame system consists of a Control Panel, a Menu application
running on a touch screen Menu Panel, and a Video Processor Frame. The
Control Panel and Menu application make up a control surface associated
with that frame. The Kayenne Control Panel and Menu Panel have associ
ated active electronics housed in the Panel Control Unit (PCU).

Multiple Suite Kayenne Panel System

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.
