KARRERA K-FRAME — Installation & Service Manual 101
System Power Up and Initialization
Default Karrera K-Frame System Communications
Karrera K-Frame systems ship with factory default settings that allow com-
ponents to communicate with one another when powered up, provided
they are connected properly). These Karrera K-Frame components appear
on the Status menu.
We recommend you use an isolated Ethernet network with your Karrera K-
Frame system (to prevent possible IP address or network traffic conflicts),
particularly when first setting up your system.
Establishing Menu to Frame Communication
If a Video Processor Frame is not found by the GV Switcher menu applica-
tion, the Status menu central window will be empty and a
NO FRAME COM
message will be displayed in the upper right Notification Area.
The following conditions need to be met before the GV Switcher menu
application can communicate with the Video Processor Frame. This list
assumes the Karrera K-Frame Touch Screen Menu Panel is being used.
Similar requirements apply when the GV Switcher menu application is run
on a PC:
• The Video Processor Frame must be powered up and running.
• The IP address of the Karrera K-Frame Menu Panel must be set to be on
the same network as the Video Processor Frame.
• Ethenet cabling should connect the Control Panel to the Video Pro-
cessor Frame, either directly or though an Ethernet switch.
• The IP Address the menu application will use to communicate with the
Frame must be in the
Frame IP Address
field of the
Frame Suite Nodes & ID
menu (to identify which Frame the Menu Panel will connect to).
• The Menu Panel’s IP address must be in the
IP Address
field of the
Control
Surfaces
menu (to register that Menu Panel as a node on the Frame).
Connecting the Menu Application to a Frame
Use the following procedure to connect a Menu Panel with a compatible IP
address to a properly cabled and operating Video Processor Frame. Two
