8 Kalypso Machine Control Interfaces Installation Instructions
Machine Control Overview
Introduction
The Kalypso system uses special interfaces for Ethernet based machine
control. These interfaces reside outside the Kalypso system, on the controlled devices themselves. Different installation procedures are used for
the various interfaces. After the interfaces are installed, Encore control
system software residing either on the Kalypso system or elsewhere in
your facility will need to be configured to recognize the devices that will be
used with the Kalypso system’s machine control capabilities.
This document covers the initial installation of machine control interfaces
(software and/or hardware) on the Kalypso system and on external
devices, and also describes the configuration required to support the
devices. It also gives a brief description of the Encore Operator User interface (OUI).
Section 1
Encore Control System Overview
Note An Encore control system is modular and scalable. Encore system capabili-
ties range from the simple machine control covered in this manual, to complete facility wide resource management, including routing, automation, and
on-air playback. For information about Encore system features not covered
in this manual, see the Encore documentation provided with those products.
The Encore control system has a distributed, client/server architecture,
using standard Ethernet communications protocols (Figure 1). The Encore
system consists of client, server, and central core components. The central
core (Sharer, Database, System Manager) is required since all other components rely on its existence. An Encore OUI is also required since it is used
to configure the central core.

Terms associated with an Encore system include:
Client — A generic term for a software component that makes use of a
service provided by a server. For Kalypso systems, Encore client software
is included in the core Kalypso software installed on the Video Processor
frame, enabling machine control capabilities (once the interfaces are
installed and configured).
Server — A generic term for a software component that provides a service
to a client. As a machine control example, the VDRCS software residing on
a Profile VDR acts as a server, because it provides a service (clip loading
and playback) to the client (the Kalypso system software).
8056_04_01_r0
System Manager — The software application used for overall system man-
agement functions, including logon, access control, and configuration. On
a Kalypso system it typically resides on the Menu panel, but it may reside
on any PC on the network.
Database — A data set containing configuration information used by the
various Encore system components.
Sharer — An Encore software component responsible for distributing the
database configuration data to the various applications as they boot up.
The Sharer also acts as a coordinator between the clients and servers.
OUI — The Encore user interface, a Windows based menu system. This is
considered a client for machine control and other functions.
Engine — A generic term for a hardware component with specific capabili-
ties. For example, a Profile VDR is considered an engine, as is the Menu
panel or PC on which the OUI application runs.
Application — A generic term for a software component that can be loaded
and run on an engine. For example, the VDRCS server application is
installed on the Profile VDR engine hardware, while the OUI client appli-
cation can be installed on the Kalypso Menu panel engine hardware.

What You Should Install
Encore Control System machine control software (formerly called
OmniBus software), used for external Profile and VTR device control via
the Kalypso system Machine Control subpanel, is included on the Kalypso
Software CD.
Sharer, System Manager, and Encore Operator User Interface (OUI) software can be installed on a Kalypso system using the Kalypso Install program. A Sharer and System Manager must be installed somewhere in your
facility to control a Profile or VTR with the Kalypso system, but only one
instance should be installed. Multiple versions of the Encore OUI can
safely reside on the network.
The Base Install includes a Port Mapper application, used to manage
system ports. This is installed regardless of which options are selected.
A default database is also included on the Kalypso Software CD, containing default IP addresses of Kalypso system and Profile devices. This
database is to be installed only one time, as a baseline to begin configuration, and should not be reloaded onto an existing operating system. Default
IP addresses will work if the Kalypso system and all the machine control
components reside on an isolated network. If the Kalypso system is interconnected with a facility’s local area network, however, the IP addresses in
the Encore data base will probably need to be changed.
The Sharer, Database, and all the Encore/Omnibus servers must reside on
the same subnet. The Encore system uses broadcast messages that do not
propagate through routers.
In facilities where more than one Kalypso Menu panel exists or where multiple Kalypso systems access the same devices, it is best to install the Encore
central core on a separate PC rather than on one of the Kalypso Menu
panels. Otherwise, shutting down the Kalypso Menu panel with the Encore
database may stop a Kalypso system from controlling the machines. The
installation procedure on a PC is the same as that used on a Kalypso Menu
panel (just insert the CD and follow the directions). If the core components
are not installed on a Kalypso Menu panel, an Encore OUI should also be
installed with the central core. This provides configuration access independent of a Kalypso Menu panel, which might be turned off or unavailable.

Encore IP Address Change Procedure
The default Encore database installed from the Kalypso software CD contains default IP addresses of the Kalypso system components and one
Profile VDR. These default addresses may need to be changed to support
larger installations. Changing these addresses when Encore has been
installed on the Kalypso Menu Processor involves the following steps:
• Run the Menu Processor and Encore under the old (default) address,
create copies, and change their IP addresses,
• Change the Menu Processor’s IP address to the new IP address,
• Restart Encore and delete the old IP addresses.
The following example procedure shows how to change from the default
addresses to the following new addresses (Table 1).
Table 1. IP Address Changes
Device Default Address New Address
Kalypso Menu 192.168.0.25 192.65.12.41
Kalypso Frame 192.168.0.20 192.65.12.21
Profile 192.168.0.10 192.65.12.58
Encore IP Address Change Procedure
You need a keyboard attached to the Main panel to perform this procedure.
To Modify Default Encore Database IP Addresses:
1. With Encore running (Sharer, System Manager and OUI), log on and
enter System Manager 3 application, User SYS, no password.
2. Engines. Select. Should see address 192.168.0.10 (the profile) and
192.168.0.25 (menu processor as host for system manager).
3. Build a copy of Profile if you want to change its address:
a. Add, IP Address: 192.65.12.58 (for this example, use your profile
IP address).
b. Name: Profile 1. (The names can be duplicated here, we are
going to delete the old names).
c. Copy, at popup, select 192.168.0.10 (the old profile), Modify
4. Build a copy of System Manager to run at the new IP address:
a. Add, IP Address: 192.65.12.41 (the new IP address of the
Kalypso menu processor).
b. Name: Kalypso Menu
c. Copy, at popup, select 192.168.0.25 (the old menu processor default
IP address), Modify

Kalypso Frame)
b. Name: Kalypso Frame
c. Copy, at popup, select 192.168.0.20 (the old default Kalypso frame
address), Modify
You should now have four entries in the stations/select popup:
192.168.0.20 (old frame address), 192.65.12.21 (new frame address),
192.168.0.25 (old menu processor address) and 192.168.12.41 (new
menu processor address). There should also be four entries in the
engines/select popup: 192.168.0.10 (old profile address), 192.65.12.58
(new profile address), 192.168.0.25 (old menu processor address) and
192.168.12.41 (new menu processor address).
7. Close Encore: stop OUI, sysman3 and Sharer.
8. Change IP address on the menu processor: my computer/Network/
TCP-IP/Properties. Enter 192.65.12.41. It is not necessary to reboot.
9. Restart Encore: start Sharer, Sysman3, and OUI.

Saving Encore Machine Control Configurations
Saving Encore Machine Control Configurations
Machine Control configurations are separate from the Kalypso Engineering and Daily setups, and so are not backed up when those Kalypso
setup files are saved to disk. You can back up your current Machine
Control configuration to disk with the following procedure. This should be
done when you first install the Machine Control software and whenever
you change its configuration to avoid having to manually reconfigure the
system if the files are damaged or lost or a drive needs to be replaced.
Note This procedure is for systems where the Sharer application is installed on the
Kalypso Menu panel. Do not use this procedure if you are running Sharer on
a separate PC as part of an Encore concerto Routing system.
Backup Procedure
This procedure backs up the Encore Machine Control data base and configuration files. It also turns off logging and deletes log files, which can grow
large in size and eventually fill the available disk space.
1. Insert a Zip disk on which you wish to backup the files into the Kalypso
Zip drive.
2. On the Kalypso Menu panel, minimize the Kalypso Menu application
if necessary, then open Windows Explorer and go to the C: OMN
directory.
3. Turn off logging and delete any log files:
a. Open the SharerOptions.ini file.
b. Go to the heading [Logging].
c. Set RecordNetMessages = OFF
d. Set RecordRawCBNP = OFF
e. Close the file and save the changes.
f. Open the Omn/Logs directory and delete all the files in that directory,
leaving it empty.
4. Using Explorer, drag and drop the Omn folder to the Kalypso Zip drive.
You may want to first create a directory named with the date to save
the file in so you can store multiple configurations onto the same Zip
disk.
5. Remove the Zip disk, label it, and store it in a safe place.
Kalypso Machine Control Interfaces Installation Instructions 25
Section 1 — Machine Control Overview
Restore Procedure
To restore the saved Machine Control configuration files, use Explorer to
drag the Omn folder from the Zip disk to the C: directory on the Menu
panel, overwriting any existing folder with that name.
Restore After Drive Replacement
If you replace a Kalypso Enhanced Menu panel, or replace the NT drive of
an Original Menu panel, you will need to reinstall the Machine Control
software, and then restore the configuration file.
Enhanced Menu Panel Restore
1. Close all operations on the Menu panel.
2. Insert the Kalypso Software CD and follow the standard procedure to
install the Machine Control Support software.
3. Insert the Zip disk that contains the backup Machine Control
configuration files.
4. Use Explorer to drag the Omn folder from the Zip disk to the C:
directory on the Menu panel, overwriting any existing folder with that
name.
5. Restart Windows NT.
Original Menu Panel Restore
1. Install the Kalypso Menu panel software using the standard procedure.
2. Install the Machine Control Support software using the standard
procedure.
3. Use Explorer to drag the Omn folder from the Zip disk to the C:
directory on the Menu panel, overwriting any existing folder with that
name.
4. Restart the Windows OS.
26 Kalypso Machine Control Interfaces Installation Instructions
Uninstall Old Omnibus User Interface
Uninstall Old Omnibus User Interface
If the Kalypso system has previously been running an earlier version of
machine control, you can remove the older OmniBus User Interface if you
wish. While leaving the older OUI installed will not cause problems when
running the Encore User Interface, removing it prevents accidentally
loading the older version, which could cause confusion.
1. Go to Start\Settings\Control Panel\Add/Remove programs and
uninstall OUI.
2. If running Windows NT, delete the wincui icon from the desktop.
Windows 2000 should remove the icon automatically.
Reverting to Earlier Machine Control Software
If you wish to revert to an earlier version of machine control software, you
must uninstall the newer machine control version before installing the
older version.
1. Exit any open applications. You will need to exit Watchdog before you
can exit the Sharer.
2. Go to Start\Settings\Control Panel\Add/Remove Programs.
3. Uninstall the following items:
• Kalypso Machine Control
• OmniBus Sharer, or Base Install (which of these items is present
depends on the installation options selected)
• OUI
Note The machine control database cannot be removed with Add Remove. This is
intentional to prevent accidental loss of configuration data. If a new default
data base is installed, it will overwrite the existing flies located in C:\Omn.
4. Now install the older machine control software (OmniBus) using the
older Kalypso Software CD.

Profile Interface
Introduction
The Profile interface software consists of:
• a VDRCS application (available as an option installed on the Profile
itself),
• a Sharer and a System Manager application, responsible for overseeing
the entire Encore control system network and to configure users and
their access to the network (provided on the Kalypso Software CD),
and
• a Port Mapper application (Base Install), used to manage system networking ports (provided on the Kalypso Software CD), and
• an Encore User Interface application (provided on the Kalypso Software CD).
Section 2
A Sharer and System Manager must be installed somewhere in your
facility to use Kalypso system machine control. However, only one
instance should be running on the network.
