6 KSP Graphical User Interface — Instruction Manual

The 1-ME KSP

Overview

The KSP is an optional 1-ME Soft Panel GUI which provides direct control
of switching crosspoints and the ability to recall effects and macros
together, with an integrated version of the Grass Valley Switcher menu
application. A customized PC keyboard is included as an option for users
who like quick cut and mix action from a hard-button interface. The KSP
can be used as a standalone Control Panel, an adjunct to a main panel pro
viding a second seat (second control surface) in a Suite, or as the only
control surface for a second Suite.

KSP Requirements

• Control any ME of an attached Switcher Frame, regardless of Frame
size,

• Suites mode allows KSP to control its own show or collaborate with the
main switcher on a single production,

• Easy transition from KSP to operation of full panel as menu and func­tion remain the same,

• Custom keyboard provides desktop control of up to 36 sources and
instant access to primary video processing functions,

• Keyboard toggles between menu parameter entry and control modes,

• Configured for easy use with a touchscreen monitor, but touchscreen is
not required, and

• Software runs on a user-supplied touchscreen or standard PC.

The KSP GUI application is designed to run on a PC platform. The screen
must be 1920x1080 resolution or better (which is common in many profes
sional video environments). A touchscreen is not required but may
enhance the user experience.
