Video Signal Flow

The Kalypso Video Production Center has been designed for operational
flexibility. This is reflected in the basic system architecture. For example, all
the outputs from every M/E are routed back to the video crosspoint matrix,
making all these signals accessible to the entire system (see

Figure 46

and

Figure 47

for Kalypso Classic and

Figure 48

for Kalypso HD). The only

exception is Effects Send, where the outgoing signal is routed directly to its
internal or external destination.

The Kalypso system does not have any dedicated inputs or outputs (except
Black and Test outputs on Kalypso Classic systems). The inputs and
outputs of the system can be assigned as needed. For example, after
defining the program, preview, and any other necessary signal outputs, all
the remaining outputs can be configured as Aux buses.
