Section 3 — System Operation
9. If a Kalypso system is run in Multi-Suite mode, restricted access to Eng
Setups changes is essential (menu accessed via
Eng Setup , System ,
Security ). Without restrictions, an operator at any control surface can
load an Eng Setup file that could remove the other suite's node
information and/or switch to single suite mode. This could seriously
impact operations in the other suite.
10. Save this Eng Setup configuration to disk, naming the file to identify it
as the new default multi- suite engineering configuration for the
facility.
Configure Defaults for Each Suite Preference
A Suite configuration applies to a suite, so you will configure each suite
independently. The settings established here will be saved as defaults, so
that each suite can be placed in a known state. Once in this state, modifica-
tions can be made for particular shows or projects.
PBus Devices can be released and acquired by each suite the same as other
Kalypso system resources. By acquiring them in different listed order they
become patched to different physical PBus ports.
1. On a Menu panel of Suite 1, go to the Acquire menu ( Daily Setups ,
Acquire ).
You will next select the devices desired for this suite’s default. Which
devices are selected for this new default depends on your individual
facility. For example, if there are 4-M/E and a 2-M/E Main panels in sepa-
rate rooms, you may want each suite to start with two M/Es, one a logical
PGM PST and the other a logical M/E 3. Similarly, you could divide the
remaining resources so that there are logical equivalents in each suite. For
example, both suites could have a logical Bkgd 1 matte. This approach
essentially creates two switchers, and effects built in one suite will run in
the other suite. Alternatively, if you have 4-M/E and a 1-M/E Main panels,
you may wish to start by giving three M/Es to the larger switcher and one
M/E to the smaller. The EIC needs to discuss common needs with the TDs
who will be using the Kalypso system and arrive at the exact settings for
these defaults.
2. Select one of the logical devices in the scrolling list on the left (Pgm-Pst,
for example), and then touch
Desired to indicate you wish to use that
device in the suite.
