Switching Basics
About Switching
A basic GV Switcher system may be equipped with a:
• Control Panel and Menu Panel,
• Control Panel and PC, or
• A KSP Soft Panel.
These separate control components make up a GV Switcher control surface.
A control surface is typically used by a single operator. Interactions occur
between the components of the control surface. For example, changing con-
trols on the Control Panel can change the status of soft buttons on the Menu
Panel, and vice versa. Remote Aux Panels are also available as an option.
These remote panels are typically used by different operators at different
locations.
The basic GV Switcher system is operated using button, knob, and lever
controls on the Control Panel and Aux panels, touch screen and knob con-
trols on the Menu Panel, keyboard on a touch screen (optional for KSP).
Text and number entry is also possible via a standard PC computer key-
board. The Control Panel is used during live operation for fast, real time
control. The Menu Panel is generally used in conjunction with the panel
controls to set up effects and for system configuration. Effects can be saved
for future recall, allowing fast and precise control of complex visual effects
in real time.
The GV Switcher Video Production Center is an extremely powerful and
flexible production tool, but also provides basic operations available on a
typical production switcher.
