The Kayenne ClipSTore
www.grassvalley.com
the Grass Valley Kayenne clipStore
incorporates K2 media server
technology by embedding either a
4-channel K2 Summit
™
or a 2-chan-
nel K2 Solo
™
. each of these server
channels records and plays a video
and key pair. the clipStore video and
key are kept in one single file (not
two files) so that video, key, and
audio are always synchronized with-
out the need to gang channels.
the clipStore records and plays
back using AVc-intra 100 com-
pression format. clips imported
in DVcpRo HD, DVcpRo 25/50,
DV, and MpeG-2 will play natively.
the clipStore supports record and
playback of embedded audio. the
server’s AeS i/o is not used in this
application.
control and use of the clipStore
is completely integrated into the
Kayenne’s control panel and menu.
there is no need to ever use the
server’s native Appcenter elite user
interface. indeed, using this inter-
face could cause conflicts with the
switcher if used at the same time.
of course the clipStore provides
the means to ingest material.
Additionally, it provides the means
to edit and trim clips, and to
assemble a video/key/audio clip
from separate files. this is described
later in this document. However,
what is most important is the way
the clipStore is integrated into the
switcher’s control system, so that
in addition to the manual loading
of clips using the switcher’s menu,
clips can be loaded, cued, and
played using e-MeM, macros, and
Q-MeM. it is this integration, which
makes the clipStore so valuable and
versatile.
Unlike other K2 media servers and
media players in a facility’s network,
the clipStore is intentionally isolated
from that network, and embedded
in the switcher’s control system.
the clipStore is provided for direct
control by the technical director/
vision mixer, and is considered to be
local storage completely under the
user’s control. let’s first look at how
clips can be manually loaded and
played. then we shall see how this
is done under e-MeM control and
Macro control.
