Kayenne XL Package Outputs
Video production switchers generate several different video outputs (such
as Program, Preview, AUX buses, and others). A final program output
(Main or DSK) is typically sent to the transmitter for broadcast and/or to
output devices for recording.
AUX Bus outputs may also be used for special purposes.
Kayenne XL Package AUX Buses and Output Assignments
Kayenne XL Package switchers provide 12 outputs per M/E. This means
you can have up to 24 outputs in the compact frame and up to 48 in the
large frame. For installed M/E boards the rear BNC outputs are active.
Any internal source can be assigned to these AUX bus outputs for moni-
toring. Safe Title can also be enabled on any of these AUX buses.
Resource Sharing and Point of Use
The Kayak HD system can share some resources for use at different loca-
tions. The location where a resource is being used is called a point of use.
The wipe pattern generator resources can be used for an M/E wipe transi-
tion, as a preset pattern, as a mask, or at other points of use. It is also pos-
sible to assign the output of the same wipe pattern generator to different
points of use at the same time.
For efficient operation, the Kayak HD system has divided the parameters
controlling wipe pattern generators and related utility bus functions into
two categories: shared generator parameters and point of use parameters.
The set of parameters for the shared generator are used by all points of use,
so changing one of these parameters will affect all locations where that
wipe pattern generator is being used at that time. Separate sets of point of
use parameters, however, are maintained for each system point of use.
These settings are used only by each individual point of use, so changing
them will not affect any other point of use.
For example, a wipe shape (box, circle, etc.) is a generator parameter, but
the softness of the shape’s edges is a point of use parameter. If the same
wipe generator is used by both an M/E wipe transition and a preset pat-
tern, adjusting softness at one point of use will not affect the other’s soft-
ness settings. However, changing the pattern shape affects both locations.
