Section 5 — Basic Configuration
7. Configure external devices with the Karrera K-Frame system (see
Section 6-External Interfaces ).
8. Save your configuration files (see page 166 ).
9.
Additional configuration will be required if multiple suites are being
used (see
page 171 ).
Karrera K-Frame Configuration Data
Current configuration settings reside on the Video Processor Frame (in the
NV folder on the Compact Flash drive on the Processor Board). These set-
tings affect Karrera K-Frame system operation. When the Video Processor
resets, these settings are read and enacted. Configuration settings can be
saved to files and loaded back into the Karrera K-Frame system at a later
time to restore those operational settings.
Karrera K-Frame configuration data falls into a few basic categories:
Eng Setup
Engineering Setup defines basic Karrera K-Frame system functionality,
including how it is cabled into a facility. Eng Setup applies to the entire
Karrera K-Frame system and can affect both suites if a second suite has
been configured. Engineering Setups are intended to be used and main-
tained by technical staff. These parameters are typically set once and
seldom changed, unless the facility changes in some way (new devices
installed, signals rerouted, etc.).
User Setups
User Setups can customize Karrera K-Frame system behavior for personal
preferences, and to meet workflow requirements of a particular show.
These settings are divided into
Panel Prefs
and
Suite Prefs
.
Panel Prefs
affects how a specific Karrera K-Frame control surface operates
for an individual user, including Button Mapping, Source Colors, etc. These
settings apply to a single control surface.
Suite Prefs
controls more fundamental system behavior like Resource Allo-
cation, Source Patching, E-MEM Prefs, etc. These settings apply to all
Karrera K-Frame control surfaces within that suite, and so can affect mul-
tiple operators. On Karrera K-Frame systems configured with multiple
suites, each suite will has its own independent Suite Prefs settings.
Network IPs and Node Settings
The Karrera K-Frame system employs Ethernet IP communications. IP
addresses are set on the Video Processor Frame, Image Store, Control Panel,
