Kayak Serial Control

Prelude version 3.0 and newer software supports Kayak digital production
switcher control. Kayak systems use RS-422 serial 9-pin communications
(not Ethernet), so a Prelude UCP control panel will be required.

On the Prelude system, in the NP Server configuration window choose
the settings shown in

Table 6

, save the UCP panel configuration, and

then send that configuration to the UCP panel.

and inputs to operate with the desired Prelude router Destinations.
