Resource Sharing
Resource Sharing and E-MEM Operations
Master E-MEM Enable Buttons
The M/E Enable buttons in the Master E-MEM subpanel will illuminate
when pressed, even if that M/E is not acquired. Keyframes cannot be
added to an M/E that is not acquired however. Note that un-acquired M/E
levels will appear on the Timeline menu, but they will be empty.
Insufficient Resources
With dynamic resource allocations, it is possible to create an E-MEM with
one set of resources acquired, and load into an environment later with dif-
ferent available resources. While using logical resources ensures effects run
properly when sufficient resources are available, there may be insufficient
resources present for a particular effect. If this occurs, the E-MEM will load
and the effect can run, but the unavailable resources will not be used.
Acquiring the needed resources and reloading the effect (see below) will
restore full E-MEM operation.
In Kalypso 15.0 software, when a resource is released the E-MEM informa-
tion in NV memory for that resource is cleared, and that resource will be
subsequently acquired in this condition. Because of this, effects must be
reloaded whenever resources have been acquired. This corrects the initial
empty effect condition of acquired resources.
Resource Sharing and Bus Linking
Bus links only operate within a suite. Bus links made to M/Es or Aux buses
that are assigned to the other suites are not honored.
Resource Sharing and the 1-M/E Main Panel
To use Master E-MEM functions you must acquire an M/E as a logical PGM
PST bank when using a 1-M/E Main panel for resource sharing. If you
acquire only an M/E you will only be able to use only those M/E functions,
which do not include effect editing or the Clear Work Buffer feature.
Resource Sharing and the Emergency Bypass Option
Only one Emergency Bypass system will operate properly with a Kalypso
system, but it can be configured to use the Local Aux panel of either suite.
Conflicts will occur if two Emergency Bypass systems are installed, as com-
mands from either suite would affect the same router destinations.
Control Surface Login to Another Suite
With an EIC login, a Menu panel of a control surface in one suite (or a PC
running the Menu application) can be used to access the other suite or the
other control surface in the same suite, if necessary. This makes it possible
