File Type Extensions
Kalypso files are named by the user when saved, and this name appears
below the icon. The name of the type of file is included in the icon. The
extension for each Kalypso system file type is listed in
Table 6 .
The extension is added to the file automatically when saved, but is not dis-
played as part of the file name itself. To prevent confusion, do not try to add
an extension to the file name when saving files.
Non-Kalypso system files in the File Operations menus display their names
without extension and show their standard Windows associated icons.
Kalypso Drive Access
The Kalypso File Operation menus can access the User directories located
on the Frame hard drive, the Menu Processor hard drive, and the Still Store
hard drive. Local and network drives mapped on the Menu processor
Windows system are also accessible (including Zip). Standard Windows
functionality automatically maps all local drives during startup. Mapping
network drives to a drive letter using the Windows Explorer allows them
to appear at the top of the File Operation menus on that menu system. If
multiple menu systems are run on the same Kalypso system, each menu
system's view of local vs. network drives will vary. Unless Windows is set
up to share a local drive to other computers on the network, other menu
systems will not display them. For this reason, the Menu Processor hard
drive is not recommended for effects or configuration storage. Instead,
store the files you wish to share on the Video Processor Frame hard drive.
Files you do not want to share, or you wish to back up off the system, can
be saved to Zip.
