Device Control
Introduction
The Karrera system can control devices like DDRs, VTRs, character gener-
ators, etc., and can also control the Image Store clips and stills and GPIs to
any external device. Karrera device control only supports devices that have
been associated with Karrera sources.
Note External Devices are configured for control in the Ports & Devices, External
Devices menu. See the Karrera Installation & Service Manual for more infor-
mation.
The following provide device control operations from the Karrera system:
• Device Control Groups on the Control Panel,
• Menu Panel,
• Karrera Menu on a PC, and
• The Switcher Soft Panel (KSP).
Device Control Operations

system and two for a 3-ME), which consists of a 16 character Status Display

For the one group on the 2-ME Karrera, the Device Control Group can be
assigned to a button row, on a 3-ME the right-most group can be assigned
