Image Store (Stills)

Conversion Requirements

The following conditions must be met:

•

The directory containing the Kalypso stills must be accessible to the
Karrera Image Store, either on a USB Memory Stick or in the C:\Images
directory on the Menu Panel.

•

Both of the Kalypso still .gvi and .gva file components must be present
for each image.

•

The still files must be named using the default Kalypso numbering
format (I000000.gvi/.gva, but not greater than I008999.gvi/.gva). If a
Kalypso still has been renamed, change it back to this naming format
using the Kalypso system, or by renaming both the .gva and .gvi files to
matching file names directly in the computer directory.

•

Thumbnail .bmp images are not supported (the Karrera system gener-
ates its own thumbnails). Kalypso image .bmp files can be ignored, and
can safely be deleted from the directory to keep them from appearing
on the Image Store Library menu screen.

•

Kalypso clip conversion is not supported.

•

Kalypso images converted to Karrera use cannot be reconverted back.
Retain the original Kalypso Still Store files if they are still needed on
that system.

Note

Kalypso NTSC Still Store images contain 486 lines, while the Karrera Image
Store supports 487 lines. A Karrera system will display one black line at the
bottom of the image raster of converted Kalypso NTSC stills.

Conversion Procedure

Kalypso still images are converted using the normal Karrera Image Store
Library copy procedure.
