Signal Routing
On the Kalypso system, Effects Send is integrated into each M/E and is an
extension of the keying control system (
Figure 52 ).
Figure 52. Effects Send Diagram
The Kalypso Classic system supports both external and internal Effects
Send. External Effects Send routes the key fill and key cut output signals
from an M/E keyer to a separate, external digital effects system, like a
Krystal DPM. The signals are manipulated by the external device and then
sent directly back to that M/E’s mixer inputs. If the Kalypso system is
equipped with the Transform Engine option, an internal effects send loop
can be used. This internal loop switches the M/E keyer outputs to the
Kalypso Transform Engine, and then returns the manipulated signals
directly back to that M/E’s mixer. Kalypso HD systems only support
internal Effects Send.
Outputs
Video production switchers generate several different video outputs (Pro-
gram, Preview, etc.). A final program output from PGM PST is typically
sent to the transmitter for broadcast and/or to DDRs or VTRs for recording.
Individual M/E program and preview outputs and an additional switched
preview output are sent to monitors in the control room. These outputs
may also be routed elsewhere in the facility. Aux Bus outputs may also be
used for special purposes.
Output Mapping
Unlike earlier generation switchers, nearly all the Kalypso system outputs
are configurable. There are no dedicated output connectors (except Black
and Test for slot 16). Any signal can be assigned to any output connector,
which provides flexibility and control of the number of fixed and Aux bus
outputs the system will have. A fixed output is always the same, while an
Aux bus’s output can change depending on what source has been selected
on that bus. Once the fixed system outputs have been assigned, all the
remaining outputs can be assigned for use with Aux Buses. When the
