26 KAYENNE — User Manual
Section 2 — Concepts
Kayenne Video Production Center configuration information is divided
into three areas, to simplify and increase the speed of reconfiguring the
system. The basic areas of Kayenne configuration are:
• Engineering Setups (settings established by the engineer in charge that
affect the entire system, which never need to be changed by operators),
• Suite Preferences (settings for a suite that affect all the operators
working in that suite, that are designed to suit a particular show or pro-
duction style and ensure a consistent working environment), and
• Preferences (settings that give the operator the ability to customize his
individual work surface to meet his personal preferences).
All Kayenne configuration settings are non-volatile. Disk save and load
operations are available that allow users to store configuration information
on removable media for easy transport and for use as backup copies.
Engineering Setups
Engineering Setups control how the Kayenne Video Production Center’s
major components behave and interact, and how the Kayenne system inter-
acts with the rest of the facility. Engineering Setups are not likely to change
on a daily basis and so are grouped separately from the Suite and Panel
Preferences. Facility maintenance personnel or the engineer in charge of a
production truck generally manages Engineering Setups.
Note It is not recommended that you store Engineering Setup files with Show files.
Engineering Setups information includes:
• Acquired Resources menu (if assigning ME 50 (half ME) to a logical
ME)
• Networking IP addresses,
• Source definition (described later in this section),
• Output assignment (identifying which output connectors are Program,
which are Preview, etc.),
• External device interfaces (DDRs, VTRs, DPM, Router, etc.),
• Control surface and suite definitions,
• Single Suite or (for Resource Sharing) Multi Suite operating mode, and
• Various other system functions.
Suite Preferences
A Kayenne suite corresponds to a control room, where there is a grouping
of one or more control surfaces. Suite Preferences define how all the control
