KAYENNE/KARRERA — Release Notes
Version 8.0
About the Kayenne/Karrera K-Frame Software Update
Kayenne/Karrera K-Frame systems are shipped with the current software
version installed. Updates to K-Frame system software are available for
download from the Grass Valley website. Software installation tools are
provided with each update package.
The K-Frame Deployment Tool extracts and copies Grass Valley switcher
system files to a Menu Panel or PC. These files include the K-Frame
Installer Program.
The K-Frame Installer Program is used to install the extracted software to
Grass Valley Video Processor Frame(s) and Control Panel(s) over the net-
work. The K-Frame Installer Program also launches other installation tools
(wizards). One wizard installs the Menu application directly on the Menu
Panel or PC running the installer program. If multiple Menu Panels (or PCs
running the Menu application) exist, each must be updated individually.
Installation wizards can also be launched for the KSP and NetConfig fea-
tures.
Third-party Updates
Certain Third-party libraries are needed on the PC that runs the Menu soft-
ware and Switcher Installer software. These “Third-party Updates” are
available in a directory on the Grass Valley Switcher Software Download
Site. They are also included on the Switcher Software USB Memory Stick
shipped with each Grass Valley switcher system. The Third Party Updates
also include a Menu Auditor program. The Menu Auditor Program is run
to verify that the required Third Party Updates are installed on a PC or
Menu PC. The Menu Auditor will indicate which updates need to be
installed to create an up-to-date system. Not having the updates installed
could cause the menu to be unstable or not run at all.
To check for the third party updates on a PC or the menu system, run the
Menu Auditor Program and press Scan. The Auditor will check each rele-
vant install and indicate the state of the computer environment. The Diag-
nose button runs the scan and puts windows machine data into a file for
diagnostic purposes.
The user can bring the environment up to date by installing identified
Third Party Updates which can be downloaded from the Grass Valley Web
site.
