The Media Player menu serves to control external VTRs or other Media
Servers.

The Kayak offers a set of protocols that enable the user to connect and
control virtually all video servers, disk recorders, and VTRs on the market.

The protocols to select from are:

•

BVW75 (industry standard VTR protocol)

•

Mediapool

•

Odetics

•

VDCP (aka Louth), there are specialized versions for the Profile™
server family.

•

Pbus

With these protocols the Kayak can control:

•

VTRs (BetaCam, DVCPro, etc.)

•

Video Servers

•

Disk Recorders

•

Other media players

The list of servers that have at least one of the protocols implemented
includes:

•
