Physical Description
The Krystal Control Panel is easy to learn and provides a comprehensive
artistic tool kit for effects generation. Each panel includes a floppy disk
drive for loading and storing effects, system configuration files, and user
preferences.
Krystal Control Panels communicate with the Video Processor frame
(single channel system) or the System Controller frame (multi-channel
system) via a dedicated Local Area Network (LAN). The LAN cable may be
a customer supplied 50
Ω
coax, or an optional LAN Cable Kit may be
ordered from Tektronix/Grass Valley Products. Up to eight Control Panels
may be connected to the network.
The Krystal Control Panel is divided into upper and lower panel areas
(
Figure 1-7 ). The upper panel contains the flat panel menu display and
various knobs and buttons for making menu selections and adjusting video
parameters. The lower panel contains the controls for picture transforma-
tion, effect editing and running, and has a keypad, joystick, and lever arm.
A diagnostic port, a connector for an optional QWERTY keyboard, the CP
COMM Ethernet connector, and the AC power connector are located on the
rear of the panel (
