Kalypso Installation Planning Guide

Section 2 — Kalypso Control Surfaces

2-M/E Control Surface

A 2-M/E control surface (

Figure 3

) is used where space may be limited

(remote trucks), or where simultaneous access to more than 2 M/Es is not
needed (smaller studios or post production).

Figure 3. Kalypso 2-M/E Control Surface

A 2-M/E Kalypso control surface has two M/E control banks, a Menu
panel, and two removable media drives (a CD-ROM in the Menu panel and
a separate USB Zip drive). The Local Aux panel is built into the Main panel.
Though this panel has only two M/E control banks, the banks can be dele-
gated to control any of the M/Es of a 4-M/E Kalypso system.

1-M/E Control Surface

A 1-M/E control surface (

Figure 4

) is designed to operate in conjunction

with a 4-M/E or 2-M/E Main panel as an accessory workstation. It can be
used for pre- or post-production, and can be used during live production
to permit another operator to assist the TD.

Figure 4. Kalypso 2-M/E Control Surface

A basic 1-M/E control surface has only a 1-M/E Main panel. A Menu panel
can be added to a 1-M/E control surface (either a touch screen model or a
PC running the Kalypso menu application). If so equipped, removable
media drives can be configured with the touch screen or PC for data
