K-Frame Release Notes, Version 10.6

Windows Operating System Requirements

Windows Operating System Requirements

Windows 7 or Windows 10 is required for Grass Valley menu software version 10.6 or newer.

.

iDPM Support for Full 4K 2SI Effects

Four iDPMs per keyer are used to fly a full 4K effect in 4K 2SI Frame Operating Mode. Up to 
four, 4K iDPMs are possible with 16 physical iDPM resources licensed and acquired. See the 
Version 10.6 

K-Frame Installation & Service Manual

 for physical resource allocation between 

suites and iDPM licensing instructions. 

When an iDPM is selected in 4K 2SI mode, four sub-images from the keyer source are 
delegated to four iDPMs. This allows you to create a full 4K iDPM effect when the keyer 
source image is 3840x2160 (a 1080p image will be replicated to four iDPMs). 

.

Importing Image Store Audio in 4K Frame Operating Mode

Images, image sequences, and movies with paired audio (stereo) can be imported into 
Image Store cache, and/or saved to disk. The video with audio must also match the frame 
rate; 59.97Hz, 50Hz, or 60Hz, otherwise only the video will be imported. 

1080P ME Resources Available in 4K Frame Operating Mode

MEs can be released while in 4K mode (Suite 1) and acquired as 1080p. This allows you to 
create a dual show in both 4K and 1080p or a sub-show, in either suite, from a single 
K-Frame system. It is recommended that you save separate Engineering Setup and Show 
files before and after releasing and acquiring ME resources so they can be reloaded as 
needed.

To reacquire the ME as 4K, the 4K Frame Operating Mode must be selected either by 
loading the saved Show file or in the Eng Setup, Video Settings menu. See the Version 10.6, 

K-Frame Installation & Service Manual

 for information about Frame Operating Modes and 

allocating resources across suites.

Note:

A Windows 10 upgrade (SWIT-OPT-OS-UPG) configured 

specifically for Grass Valley systems is available. If your system is under a 
service agreement, please contact Support, otherwise contact the Sales 
department. Contact information is available on the Grass Valley website.

Note:

In earlier software versions supporting 4K 2SI mode, the keyer 

source image was replicated as four sub-images and delegated to one 
iDPM only.

Note:

A tolerance of +/-10% of the width and height of an image is 

allowed. Stills, sequences, or movies outside those tolerances will be 
center cut.

Note:

ME-4 is 1080p only, and allocated to Suite 1 by default.
