System Overview
Introduction
The Kalypso Video Production Center is much more than a switcher. The
Kalypso system not only features powerful digital video switching, mixing,
and keying with E-MEM, but also provides integrated control of other pro-
duction devices (e.g., facility routers, external effects systems, DDRs). The
Kalypso Video Production Center also has a flexible, scalable, and quickly
reconfigurable architecture able to meet the demanding requirements of
live production and post production applications.
Three different Kalypso systems are available; one supporting only stan-
dard definition video (Kalypso Classic), one supporting either high defini-
tion or standard definition video (Kalypso HD), and one supporting only
standard definition video, but able to be upgraded to operate in either stan-
dard or high definition video (Kalypso Duo).
The Kalypso classic systems use different processing hardware from the
HD and Duo systems, and so has a different Video Processor frame, but all
systems use the same types of control panels.
