K-Frame Release Notes, Version 10.6
Update Other Grass Valley Switcher Systems Software
This completes the standard switcher system software update procedure.
Update Other Grass Valley Switcher Systems Software
More than one switcher system (multiple Video Processor Frames) may reside on your
network. Each system can operate simultaneously with different software versions, as long
as all the components in each system run the same software version.
Additional switcher systems are updated using the same procedure as described.
1 Select the other switcher system on the K-Frame Installer Program System hierarchy
screen, and choose Update All.
2 Insert the K-Frame Software USB stick into each Menu Panel or PC associated with that
switcher system and choose the Menu software update button.
Individual Switcher System Component Update
Individual components can be selected for update (just the Video Processor Frame,
optional Image Store, or just one Control Panel). However, all components of a switcher
system must run the same software version. If updating components individually, make
sure they all are at the same version before resuming K-Frame system operation.
K-Frame Software Removal With Windows OS
K-Frame Deployment Tool versions and Menu Panel programs can be removed using
standard Windows techniques (Setup/Add or Remove Programs/Uninstall or Change
Programs, etc.).
Deployment Archive Files
When new software versions are installed with the K-Frame Deployment tool, older version
deployment files are not automatically removed. Each K-Frame deployment creates its own
software version folder. If the default installation location, or the same alternative
destination, is always chosen, all the version folders will be listed together.
Default destinations:
• C:\Program Files (x86)\ Grass Valley \ GV Switcher \ K_Frame_Switcher_VX.X for 64-bit
• C:\Program Files\ Grass Valley \ GV Switcher \ K_Frame_Switcher_VX.X for 32-bit
systems.
Running the K_FrameInstaller.exe file in any version’s folder will permit installation of that
version’s files.
CAUTION:
Allow the Video Processor Frame and optional Image Store to
completely finish rebooting before attempting to install
Control Panel software. The Control Panel update process
requires the Frame to be operational.
