Personal Settings allow users to customize a Kayak control surface to suit 

their personal operational style. User Preferences do not change Kayak 

system capabilities. Loading and Storing Personal Settings is possible via 

the Sidepanel Program

Personal Settings include:
• Menu delegation behavior,
• Shift preferences
• Various other user functions.

General Rule:
• All setup changes, which will not work without an physical change of 

a device, are part of Installation (menu). 

• All setup changes, which will work without an physical change of a

Signal Routing

Inputs and Sources

Kayak HD

Incoming video signals are connected to the Kayak HD system via BNC 

connectors on the rear of the Kayak HD Digital Processor frame. All inputs 

are serial digital (SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 296M, SMPTE RP211). Signals from 

external devices not operating in this standard will need to be converted.

Some devices (for example, a camera providing serial digital output) may 

provide a video signal that can be received on a single connector. However, 

other devices may output multiple signals.
