Introduction
In general, any video switcher receives multiple video inputs, performs
signal processing on selected input signals, and then outputs the processed
video. Efficient real time switcher operation is essential for live production,
and can save valuable time in post production environments as well.
Several innovative concepts are employed in the Kayenne XL Package to
enhance its operational speed and flexibility. Understanding these con-
cepts, as well as basic switcher fundamentals, will help you take full advan-
tage of the exceptional power of the Kayenne XL Package.
Kayenne XL Package Configuration Overview
The Kayenne XL Package is designed for operational flexibility, and can be
configured to fit various applications. Different systems can have different
capabilities, or the same Kayenne XL Package can be re-configured to have
different capabilities at different times.
The way a Kayenne XL Package is wired into your facility affects the digital
production switcher’s capabilities. For example, the number of sources
physically connected to the system obviously determines what video the
system can handle. However, because Kayenne XL Package video/key
inputs and AUX Bus outputs can be configured, once video cables are phys-
ically connected they need not be moved. Configuration settings also
control many other capabilities that affect Kayenne XL Package behavior.
Kayenne XL Package configuration information is divided into three areas:
• Installation (Engineering Setups) (settings established by the engineer
in charge that affect the entire system, which never need to be changed
by operators),
• Configuration Settings (for example, a production that affect all the
operators working in that suite, that are designed to suit a particular
show or production style and ensure a consistent working environ-
ment), and
