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.

Control Surface
The modular design of Kalypso control panels provides flexibility for
mounting component panels in various environments, and allows the
addition of specialized accessory control panels. A group of panels avail-
able to a single operator is called a Control Surface. A single Kalypso Video
Production Center may have multiple Control Surfaces, allowing more
than one operator to control some or all of the Kalypso system.
A Control Surface consists of at least two components, a Main panel and a
Menu panel. The 4-M/E has a separate Local Aux panel, while the 2-M/E
has a Local Aux subpanel integrated into the Main panel. A 1-M/E control
surface is designed to operate in conjunction with a 4-M/E or 2-M/E Main
panel as an accessory workstation (refer to
Figure 2 ).
