these settings are read and enacted. Configuration settings can be saved to files and
loaded back into the system at a later time to restore those operational settings.
Configuration Basic Categories
Eng Setup
Engineering Setup defines basic switcher system functionality, including how it is cabled
into a facility. Eng Setup applies to the entire system and can affect all configured suites.
Engineering Setups are intended to be used and maintained 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 switcher 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 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 Allocation,
Source Patching, E-MEM Prefs, etc. These settings apply to all control surfaces within
that suite, and so can affect multiple operators. On systems configured with multiple
suites, each suite will has its own independent Suite Prefs settings.
Network IPs and Node Settings
The switcher system employs Ethernet IP communications. IP addresses are set on the
Video Processor Frame, Image Store, Control Panel, Menu Panel, etc. The Video Processor
Frame maintains a list of IP nodes to enable communication with the other devices in the
system. This list is stored separately from the Eng Setup and User Setups configuration files.
This permits loading these configuration files without the danger of accidentally disrupting
system communications.
One exception is Remote Aux Panel IP network settings, which are stored in the Eng Setup
configuration file, along with other Remote Aux Panel settings.
GV Switcher Menu Application
Note:
A brief description of the GV Switcher menu application is presented
here. Refer to the separate KAYENNE/KARRERA/GV KORONA User Manual for
detailed information.
The GV Switcher menu application is used to configure your switcher system. This
application can run on a user supplied PC, using a mouse and keyboard, and can run on the
Touch Screen menu, allowing system operation by touching the screen.
