General
The Grass Valley K-Frame family of multi-format digital production switchers provides
powerful, ground-breaking features designed to meet the widest range of requirements for
live studio, mobile, and post-production applications.
The following Video Processors are the heart of the system, providing extensive video
switching and signal processing capabilities:
• GV K-Frame XP Compact
• GV K-Frame XP Standard
This functionality is controlled using any Control Panel with any Video Processor Frame:
• Kayenne control surface,
• Karrera control surface,
• GV Korona control surface,
• the Soft Panel (KSP option), and/or
• the Menu application running on a PC (Menu on PC).
In addition, the system supports direct control of external devices (DDRs, Servers) and bi-
directional control to and from routing and automation systems.
• Fully digital 10-bit 4:2:2 video switcher including 4K, HDR (HLG and PQ), 1080p, and
2160p support:
• SDI—2160p, 1080p level-A and 720p
• IP I/O—1080p level-A
• IP I/0—2160p (GV K-Frame XP Standard and Compact are the only models with internal
2160p processing. The rest are Quad processing for 4K.)
• Optional smart I/O modules provide up/down/cross-conversion when licensed with
SetDef and MatchDef.
• 4K UHD using 2SI (2 Sample Interleave) or SDQS (Square Division Quad Split) is
converted to 2160p video for internal processing using hardware on the IP and
SDI I/O boards.
• Integrated Macro Builder/Editor allows users to edit macros online or offline on a PC
running the menu application.
• Optional DoubleTake™ (split M/E mode) effectively increases the number of M/Es and
adds flexibility to Suites operation while FlexiKey™ programmable clean feed mode
supports separately programmable configurations of keyers from four M/E outputs.
