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.

10 Kalypso Machine Control Interfaces Installation Instructions

Machine Control Support Software Installation

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 should now be fully functional with the new addresses.

24 Kalypso Machine Control Interfaces Installation Instructions

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

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.

VTR Interface

Introduction

The Kalypso system can be interfaced to control VTRs, using the Encore control system.

Encore VTR Interface Components

The VTR interface components consist of:

• Serial Control Engine hardware running the Acorn OS, and capable of controlling up to six VTRs,

• VSVC application software (provided on two specially formatted floppy disks, used for installation on the Serial Control Engine),

Section 3

• a Sharer/System Manager application, responsible for overseeing the entire Encore network and to configure users and their access to the network (provided on the Kalypso Software CD),

• a Port Mapper application (Base Install), used to manage system networking ports (provided on the Kalypso Software CD), and,

• an Encore OUI (Operator User Interface) application, (provided on the Kalypso Software CD).

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.

Required Materials

You will need the following additional materials and signals to install the VTR interface:

• Black Burst with house VITC

• Category 5 Ethernet cable

• RS-422 Serial cable (9-pin for ports 1-4)

Kalypso Machine Control Interfaces Installation Instructions 63

Section 3 — VTR Interface

Note Serial Engine ports 5 and 6 have a single 44 pin connector. See the OmniBus

Serial Engine documentation for pinout information.

You will also need the following additional materials if you are not using default Kalypso and Serial Engine configurations:

• VGA Monitor

• PC keyboard (European or American)

• Mouse (3 button required; left, right, and center presses may be needed)

64 Kalypso Machine Control Interfaces Installation Instructions

Overall VTR Conﬁguration Procedure

Interfacing a VTR with the Kalypso system involves configuring the Serial Engine itself, the Encore software used for system integration, and the Kalypso system (Figure 54). All three procedures must be completed in the order displayed in the flow diagram.

• Have a basic understanding of media clips,

• Know how files are organized and maintained on the Encore network, and

• Know how to use any remote applications you select.

This section describes how to:

• Use the Encore Operational User Interface (OUI) and local applications,

• Use the Local Machine Control Panel to work with clips on networked devices,

• Use the Filer-Fax to manage files, and

• Use the OmniPager to send short messages around the network.

Note The exact capabilities of your Encore system may vary. Refer to the separate

Encore Control System documentation for information about features not covered in this section.
