Section 1 — System Overview
2-M/E Kalypso HD System Options
The 2-M/E Kalypso system has the same options as the 4-M/E Kalypso
system, with the following differences:
• 2 - 3 M/E upgrade (2-M/E to 3-M/E, or 3-M/E to 4-M/E system), and
• 2 - 4 M/E upgrade (2-M/E to 4-M/E system).
Kalypso Duo Features and Options
The Kalypso Duo system is identical to the Kalypso HD system, except it
operates only at SD resolution. The Kalypso Duo supports 525/59.94 and
625/50 video.
• A Kalypso Duo system can be upgraded into a standard Kalypso HD
system (which supports both SD and HD formats) by purchasing and
installing the KAL-UPG-DUO-HD-S software upgrade.
• Kalypso Duo systems also support the Emergency Bypass option.
External Interfaces Supported
All Kalypso systems support the following control interfaces and types of
external devices:
• GPI Inputs and Outputs,
• Tally (contact closure),
• Peripheral Bus II Protocol,
• Facility Routers,
• External Digital Effects Systems, including CPL,
• Digital Disk Recorders,
• Video Tape Recorders,
• Character Generators, and
• Still Stores.
System Components
A Kalypso System consists of a Control Surface comprised of two or more
control panels, a Video Processor frame, Video Processor Power Supply,
and removable media drives. Several of the standard 4-M/E system com-
ponents depicted in
Figure 1 are also common to 2-M/E systems. Remote
Aux panels and accessory satellite panels are available as options.
