External Interfaces
Introduction
The Kayenne K-Frame Video Production Center has that name because it is
more than just a video switcher. For example, a Kayenne K-Frame system
is also able to control a variety of external devices.
Devices can be associated with sources, via source definition. Three types
of source definitions for the Kayenne K-Frame are available:
•
Direct
(used for standard video and key inputs, not for external inter-
faces),
•
Device
(used for DDR and VTRs). These devices can be controlled via
Ethernet or serial port using various protocols. Each device uses a
Device Definition that specifies the control mechanism.
•
Router
(used with an external routing system). This type permits the
assignment of an external routing system destination to that source.
Once assigned, different external routing system sources can be routed
to that destination with the system. It is also possible to associate a
router source to a device, to allow machine control of that source when-
ever it is selected on the Kayenne K-Frame Control Panel.
Serial ports can also be used to control PBus configured external devices.
GPI outputs can be configured to provide relay closure control of hard-
wired external devices from the Kayenne K-Frame system.
In addition, external control of a Kayenne K-Frame system is possible using
GPI input connections, and by configuring an Editor with a serial port.
