Shifted Sources
An operator may need to quickly access many sources during a production.
However, a control panel has size limitations, since all the source selection
buttons must remain within reach. The Kayenne XL control panel provides
shifted buttons to enable access to more input sources from the control
panel.
For example, on the Kayenne XL Package 400 system, up to 35 sources can
be mapped at one time, 14 to the unshifted source selection, and 14 to the
shifted buttons. A dedicated
Shift button is provided as the farthest right
crosspoint button (Crosspoint 15) for every bus. Two shift modes are avail-
able: Normal and Latched.
• In Normal mode, shifted or unshifted status of the bus is indicated by
the state of the
Shift button light. Holding down the Shift button while
pressing a source button always selects the shifted source for that bus.
The
Shift button will light when the buttons of the row to its left are
shifted.
• In Latched mode, the Shift button toggles on and off in a manner similar
to the Caps Lock button on a standard keyboard. When on, it lights to
indicate that the subsequent selection(s) on the crosspoint selector row
will be made from the shifted set of sources (15 through 28). When off,
the subsequent selection(s) come from the unshifted set (1 through 14).
If the user toggles the
Shift button to the state that is opposite from the
shift state for the currently selected input, then the crosspoint selector
button blinks to indicate this “out of sync” condition.
A useful configuration is to have sources normally used for backgrounds
(for example, VTRs) mapped to unshifted buttons, and sources normally
used as keys (for example, character generators) mapped to shifted but-
tons. Then you can then set all the background buses to an unshifted pref-
erence, and all the key buses to a shifted preference. All normal source
selections can then be made without having to use the shift modifier but-
tons.
It is also possible to have a different assignment for background and key
buses.
Source Scalars (HD Only)
Each Mix Effects (M/E) has 4 scalars that can be used for scaling video
sources of the same frame rate but different resolutions than the video
being processed.
The scalars are software enabled options. Two scalars are enabled on one
option, up to 2 options per M/E maximum. The scalars are fixed to a spe-
cific M/E.
