System Operation
Introduction
A basic Kalypso system is equipped with a Main panel, a Local Aux panel,
a Menu panel, and removable media drives. These separate control panel
components make up a Kalypso control surface. A control surface is typi-
cally used by a single operator. Interactions occur between the components
of the control surface. For example, changing controls on the Main panel
can change the status of soft buttons on the Menu panel, and vice versa.
Remote Aux panels are also available as an option. These remote panels are
configured as separate control surfaces, and are typically used by different
operators at different locations.
The basic Kalypso system is operated using button, knob, and lever con-
trols on the Main and Aux panels, and button, touch screen, and knob con-
trols on the Menu panel. Text and number entry is also possible via a
standard PC computer keyboard. The Main and Aux panels are used
during live operation for fast, real time control. The menus are generally
used in conjunction with the panel controls to set up effects and for system
configuration. Effects can be saved for future immediate recall, allowing
fast and precise control of complex visual effects in real time.
The Kalypso Video Production Center is an extremely powerful and flex-
ible production tool, but also provides basic operations available on a
typical production switcher. Detailed explanation of basic operation is pre-
sented in Appendix A-Tutorials.
