Newton Modular Control
Newton Modular Control
Introduction
The Newton modular control system provides comprehensive and consol-
idated real-time control of Grass Valley modular products. Some Newton
functionality has been incorporated into the Karrera Menu Application.
This makes it possible to control Grass Valley Gecko and Kameleon frame
modular products from a Karrera Menu panel or PC running the Karrera
Menu Application. The modular frames must reside on the same subnet as
the Karrera system (
Figure 87 ).

Installation on Karrera
Karrera’s Newton interface is installed during the standard Karrera Menu
Application installation procedure. The Newton menu (
Figure 89 on
page 189 ) is available on all Karrera systems running 1.5.2 or newer soft-
ware. However, a Newton system must be available on the Karrera net-
work, and configuration steps will be required before this menu becomes
functional.
Selecting the NetConfig installation option from the Karrera Installer
program will install a compatible version of NetConfig with the NetConfig
Newton Configurator plug-in.
