Kayenne Release Notes

IntroductionThis document describes installation, user, and other information specific to Kayenne Video Production Center Release 4.0 software. See page 23 for Kayenne system update instructions.

Changes in Release 4.0

New in Release 4.0• DPM Borders (see page 8)

• Additive Keyer (see page 11)

• SNMP (see page 14)

• Switcher Soft Panel (KSP) (see page 38)

• VDCP Protocol Support

Improved in Release 4.0

VxWorks Operating System

The VxWorks operating system replaces the Pharlap operating system used in the Kayenne Frame.

CAUTION Kayenne software earlier than version 4.0 is not compatible with VxWorks because the 771-0060-04 Controller Board is required. Backing down to version 3.0 will require changing back to the 771-0060-03 Controller Board.

Upgrading an existing Kayenne Frame to version 4.0 will require a Frame Controller Board Revision level of 771-0060-04 (see Replace Video Processor Frame Controller Board on page 24). Contact Grass Valley Customer Support for more information (see Contacting Grass Valley on page 4).


Version 4.0

The new 771-0060-04 Controller Board CPU has 2 Gigabytes of memory, double that of the 771-0060-03 Controller Board.

Note E-MEMs and Macros are compatible (forward and backward) between Kayenne versions 3.0 and 4.0.

ClipStore “Record Time Remaining” indicator

See page 22.

DPM BordersThe DPM Border feature provides an independently controlled border for each licensed iDPM/eDPM. The borders are added "outside" of normal blanking. This means that when a border is added it does not crop into the original image so a border can be added to a full-sized image and it will not be visible until the image size is slightly reduced.

The following controls are provided from the menu for each DPM:

• Width and softness for border top, bottom, left and right side can be controlled independently or all together,

• Color (hue, saturation, and brightness),

• Choice of square or rounded border corners (including control of the curve tension, continuity, and bias), and

• S-Linear, Linear, Curve, and Path Hold.

Border Edge AdjustmentsTo adjust the border edges together, perform the following.

1. Access the Borders Menu by touching iDPM, Borders (Figure 1).


DPM Borders

Figure 1. DPM Border Menu

2. Touch to select an ME/Keyer data pad on the left side of the menu (or use the Multi select button for multiple keyers).

Note DPMs selected for borders using the Multi select button will each have the same border values.

3. Turn on DPM Borders by touching either the Square Border or Round Border button in the Border Enable menu pane (Figure 1).

4. Select a path type by touching the S-Linear, Linear, or Curve data pads in the Border menu pane (Figure 1).

a. If Curve is selected, the Tension, Continuity, and Bias can be adjusted using the soft knobs or pop-up keypads.

See the Kayenne User Manual for more information about Paths.

5. Touch the Width or Softness data pads and use the Size or Softness soft knobs or pop-up keypads to adjust those values (Figure 1).

Border Color

Adjust the border color by touching the Border Color Adjust data pad (the color value is displayed in the data pad) and then turning the Border Hue, Border Saturation, or Border Brightness soft knobs or using the pop-up keypads to adjust those values (Figure 1).


Version 4.0

Note Color is applied to the entire border, there is no independent control.

Separate Edges

The width and softness of DPM Borders can be adjusted for each edge inde-pendently, using the soft knobs or pop-up keypads (Figure 2).

1. Access the Borders Menu by touching iDPM, Borders.

2. In the iDPM (or eDPM in eDPM mode), Border menu, touch the Square Border or Round Border button to enable Borders (Figure 2).

Figure 2. DPM Border Menu, Separate Edges

3. Touch the Separate Edges button to enable the function.

4. Touch the Width or Softness data pad to select it.

5. Use the Border Size/Softness Top, Right, All, Left, or Bottom soft knobs or pop-up keypads to adjust the edges independently of the others.

Note The Border Size All/Softness All data pads allow you to adjust the relative values for size or softness of all edges simultaneously.


Additive Keyers

Additive KeyersIn the keyer circuitry of the switcher, unshaped video is processed using a multiplicative key and shaped video is processed using an additive key. In the normal course of operation, this is done automatically. Shaped video can be turned on or off (unshaped video) for a source’s linear key in the Key Mode pane of the Eng Setup, Source Definition menu (Figure 3).

See the Kayenne User Manual for more information about Shaped and Unshaped video.

Figure 3. Eng Setup, Source Definition Menu

However, there are instances when manual control is useful:

• A source’s key is not properly defined and you wish to correct the shape by overriding the key type, or

• You wish to key an artistic effect by changing the video to the “incor-rect” video shaping.

Additive Keyer OperationsAdditive Keyer buttons, including a button for Super Additive are pro-vided in both the menu and in the Multi-Function Module of the Control Panel.


Version 4.0

From the Menu

Additive Key and Super Add buttons are provided in the menu for Fixed and Adjusted Linear and Luma keys so you can override the video shape selected in the Source Definition menu (changes from Auto to On or Off) for that source.

In the menu, the Additive Key button is located in the Keyer, Mode menu (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Keyer, Mode Menu—Additive Key

Note Selecting or re-selecting any Keyer Mode button (Fixed Linear, Adj Linear, or Luma Key) will reset the shape type to “Auto”, i.e. as defined in the Source Definition menu.

1. Touch the desired Key.

2. In the Keyer Mode pane, touch the Fixed Linear, Adj Linear, or Luma Key buttons if not already selected.

3. Touch the Additive Key button to turn it to On (illuminates green).

4. Touch the Additive Key button again to turn it Off.

The key will remain in the selected On/Off state.


Additive Keyers

Super Additive

“Super Additive” mode replaces the key signal of the selected source with a full field of black, while in the additive key mode. The opacity of the fine and semi-transparent video is greatly increased based on its luminance. This is very much a “fashion-statement” kind of keying which has been very popular with entertainment shows. Additionally, Super Additive mode is very useful for keying over credits and other text because it brightens and increases transparency.

When Additive Key mode is On, the Super Add button is displayed (Figure 5) and defaults to Off. Touch the Super Add button to turn it On/Off.

The Super Add button is also returned to “Auto” state by selecting or re-selecting a Keyer Mode button.

Figure 5. Keyer, Mode Menu—Additive Key/Super Add Button

From the Control Panel

In the Multi-Function Module of the Control Panel, the Add button is pro-vided in the Keyer (Keys) menu (press Keys, Add). For Super Add, DPOP the Add button (Add button changes from high tally white to high tally orange).


Version 4.0

SNMP Monitoring

IntroductionSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry standard mechanism for monitoring devices over a network, primarily intended to support service and maintenance activity. With SNMP, devices can be inter-rogated about the current status of specific device components (reported as values), and devices can report without prompting (traps) certain condi-tions that may require immediate attention.

An SNMP system consists of one or more Managed Devices, each of which has an Agent (software running as a daemon on that device), and a Network Management System (NMS). The NMS is a software application running on a computer that communicates with the Agents over the net-work. The information exchanged is determined by a Management Infor-mation Base (MIB) database file. The MIB defines the structure and content of the variables that are available as data for monitoring and reporting. A Community Name is also used as a rudimentary security measure, acting as a password to enable communications with the Agent.

For example, a Managed Device may have a cooling fan and thermocouple. The MIB may define a variable for the thermocouple readout, and a request for this data can be sent from the NMS to the Agent, which will reply (if the community name matches) with the current temperature value. The MIB may also define a Trap that reports a fan failure. Should the device’s fan stop working, the Agent sends an unprompted message to the NMS. The NMS can be configured to respond to that Trap message, and may have the capability to alert maintenance staff of the problem, via an automatic email message or by triggering a warning alarm.

SNMP is an optional feature for Grass Valley switchers, and requires the purchase and entry of a license key.

The Grass Valley NetCentral application, separately available for purchase, can be used as a NMS. NetCentral version 5.2.0.24 is fully compatible with the Grass Valley switcher products. Because SNMP is an industry standard, however, any third party NMS can be used. For third party NMS installa-tion & configuration, please contact your SNMP NMS software vendor.

Grass Valley switchers comply with the following SNMP standards:

Table 1. SNMP Standards Supported

RFC 1155 Structure and Identification of Management for TCP/IP-based Internets

RFC 1157 SNMP v1

RFC 1901-1907 SNMP v2c

RFC 1213 MIB II

RFC 1215 Convention for defining traps for use with the SNMP


SNMP Monitoring

The Grass Valley switcher MIBs are available from Grass Valley Customer Support. Load the MIBs for the Video Processor Frame and Control Panel as shown in Table 2.

Grass Valley Switcher Device Monitoring by SNMPGrass Valley switchers support monitoring of the devices and device com-ponents shown in the following tables.

Note Only the capabilities described in this document are supported. For detailed information about each supported item, please refer to the MIBs.

Version 4.0

Video Processor Frame

Control Panel

Menu Panel Processor

The Menu Panel Processor (the PC running the Menu application) can be monitored separately, using the standard built-in Windows SNMP capabil-ities and a third-party NMS. No unique Grass Valley MIB entries or traps are available.

Note NetCentral supports the monitoring of Grass Valley devices only, and cannot directly monitor standard PCs.

SNMP InstallationGrass Valley switchers system devices running version 4.0 and higher soft-ware have SNMP Agent software already installed. No user installation is required.

Separate NMS software (NetCentral or a different third party package) will need to be installed onto a PC that resides on the switcher network. Refer to the documentation provided with the NMS for installation instructions.

Table 3. Supported Karrera/Kayenne Video Processor Frame SNMP Monitoring

System Information High level information regarding the Video Processor Frame including operating system, name, location, serial number, software revision and high level frame state.

Module Each plug in board slot in the Frame is a module (Controller, ME or eDPM). Information is provided regarding the board plugged into the slot and the current state of the slot.

Thermal High level temperature and fan status for the entire system. If a failure is reported here then look at Fans or Temperature Sensor categories for details.

Fans Detailed speed and status for each fan in the frame. Three fans are on the compact frame and six fans are on the standard frame. Typically inspected if Thermal category is report-ing a cooling problem.

Temperature Sensors Detailed information from each monitored temperature sensor on the Frame. Typically inspected if Thermal category is reporting a cooling problem.

Video Sync Status of external video reference signal and what type of signal is present.

Network Configuration Data IP address, Gateway and Netmask settings for external facing network interfaces.

Table 4. Supported Kayenne/Karrera Control Panel SNMP Monitoring

Fan (1- 3) Kayenne: PCU has three fans.Karrera: 2ME Control Panel has one fan, 3 ME has two fans.

Power Supply (2) Will report power failure if a power supply is not present or not plugged in.

Temperature (2 or 3) Kayenne: One ambient temperature, one on CPU.Karrera: One ambient temperature, one on the Panel Processor FPGA, one on CPU.

Modules (Control Panel boards) Status change traps are sent when a module is connected or disconnected.


SNMP Monitoring

SNMP LicensingGrass Valley switcher system SNMP licensing is based on the Video Pro-cessor Frame, and is tied to that Frame’s unique System ID number. All Control Panels associated with a Frame will use that same SNMP license.

The Frame’s System ID is shown on the Menu application’s Install Options screen This screen also reports the current licensing status of that Frame (Figure 6).

Figure 6. Install Options Screen

An SNMP license is purchased from Grass Valley Customer Support. You need to provide the Frame’s System ID with your payment, and you will then be given a license key. Enter that license key in the Install Options screen to license the SNMP feature for that entire Kayenne system.

Licensing Definitions

SNMP Licensed - SNMP is capable of running with all documented features available. See SNMP enable/disabled for additional operational implica-tions.

SNMP Unlicensed - SNMP runs minimal functionality provided by the oper-ating system vendor (VxWorks on 4.0 Kayenne frames, Linux on Kayenne Control Panels) and is always enabled.


Version 4.0

SNMP Enabled - (licensed only) all SNMP variable requests are processed and SNMP traps are sent.

SNMP Disabled - (licensed only) all SNMP variable requests are ignored and SNMP traps are not sent.

SNMP Power Up License Processing

Frames and Control Panels power up with SNMP Unlicensed capabilities. If a SNMP license is detected on the Frame then the Frame and Control Panel initialize SNMP licensed capabilities. SNMP Licensed Configuration must be done to properly configure some of the licensed capabilities.

SNMP Licensed ConfigurationSNMP Licensed capabilities require additional configuration though the web interface as noted in this document. The Video Processor Frame and Control Panel have separate web interfaces that are accessed by specifying the correct IP address in the URL (example: http://192.168.1.170). An example of the Kayenne Frame webpage is shown in Figure 7.

Configuration steps consist of:

• Enable/Disable SNMP

• Configure Trap Destination IP addresses

• Configure Community Name

Configuration of the NMS software itself will also be required to make full use of the SNMP feature.


SNMP Monitoring

Figure 7. Video Processor Frame SNMP Web Page

Switcher Device SNMP Configuration Procedure

Refer to Figure 7 for reference.

1. Check the Enable/Disable box to activate SNMP for that device.

Note SNMP configuration fields are inoperable (grayed out) if a valid license is not accessible.

2. Enter the IP address of the PC running a NMS where you want trap messages to be sent. Up to three IPs can be entered.

3. If you are not using the public community, enter the name of the community to be used.

4. Click Save New Settings.

SNMP Trap MessagesThe SNMP trap messages listed below are available for various switcher system components.

Note Only the capabilities described in this document are supported. For detailed information about each supported item, please refer to the MIBs.


Version 4.0

Video Processor Frame Traps

Table 5. Supported Kayenne/Karrera Frame SNMP Traps

Name Type Description Severity

vsmPowerSupplyStatusChange status If the current status is different than the last status then a trap is sent. A power supply OK message is only sent if all power supplies are OK after one of more power supplies have failed or been removed. At boot time, the first running status generates an informational message. After that, a transition to the running status generates a normal message.

comm error = alarmfault = alarmpower supply removed = warning power supply OK = normal

vsmFanStatusChange status If the fan board is not present or if all fans have stopped working a trap is sent. This trap is resent every 12 seconds until the condition is corrected.

If any of the fans are not working properly a trap is sent. This trap is resent every 20 sec-onds until the condition is corrected.

When the system starts running normally or returns from an abnormal condition to running normally a trap is sent.

fan board not present = alarmall fans not working = alarmfan not working = warning

normal operation = informational (start up),normal (returning from a warning or alarm condition)

vsmTempStatusChange status If temperature crosses the warm threshold in any direction a trap is sent.

hot = alarmnormal = normal

vsmModuleStatusChange powerOK If the current power status is different than the last power status a trap is sent.

power OK = normalpower Fault = alarm

vsmModuleStatusChange status If the current status is different than the last status a trap is sent.

Kayenne Software Update


IntroductionKayenne systems are shipped with the current software version installed. Updates to Kayenne system software are available for download from the Grass Valley website. Software installation tools are provided with each update package.

The GV Switcher Deployment Tool extracts and copies Grass Valley switcher system files to a Menu Panel or PC. These files include the GV Switcher Installer Program.

The GV Switcher Installer Program is used to install the extracted software to Grass Valley Video Processor Frame(s) and Control Panel(s) over the net-work. The GV Switcher Installer Program also launches other installation tools (wizards). One wizard installs the Menu application directly on the Menu Panel or PC running the installer program. If multiple Menu Panels (or PCs running the Menu application) exist, each must be updated indi-vidually. Installation wizards can also be launched for the KSP and Net-Config features.

Third-party Updates

A directory, named “Third-party Updates” is provided as a convenience on the Grass Valley software download site and is included on the Switcher Software USB Memory Stick shipped with each Grass Valley switcher system. The directory contains third-party files and libraries to help recon-cile any version issues that may develop between Grass Valley products and third-party applications.

Materials Required

You will need the following materials for this update:

• New Video Processor Frame Controller board (771-0060-04),

• Version 4.0 Software; GVSwitcherSetup.exe, which can be downloaded from the Grass Valley Customer Support website along with the latest ClipStore/Summit software, Release Notes, and Release Notes Addendum, and copied to a USB stick,

• Backup media for configuration and effects files,

• USB mouse and keyboard, and

• a Menu Panel, or user PC, properly configured on the switcher system network.


Version 4.0

Software Update ProcedureThis software update procedure assumes your Grass Valley switcher system is fully operational with all network communications properly con-figured. Refer to the Kayenne Installation and Service Manual for configura-tion instructions.

Backup Current Configuration and Effects Files

1. Save your system configuration files (Eng Setup, User Setups), and your operational registers (EMEM, Macros, etc.) and other settings. You can create a Show file that contains all this information. See the Kayenne Installation and Service Manual for file operations instructions.

Note A convenient location to save these backup files is on the USB stick of the software version that created the files (the older software being updated). Create a new folder on that older software USB stick for the file and name the Show file with the current date.

2. Store the backup media in a safe place. You may want to use these files if you decide to back down to that earlier software version.

Replace Video Processor Frame Controller Board

1. Go to the Eng Setup Frame Suite Nodes & ID and Control Surfaces Node Settings menu tabs and write down all the current network node names and IP addresses. These will need to be re-entered manually after the controller board has been replaced.

2. Power off the Video Processor Frame.

3. Remove the older controller board (771-0060-03 or lower).

4. Insert the new controller board (771-0060-04 or higher).

5. Power up the Video Processor Frame. The Video Processor Frame will reboot with the same IP address.

6. Re-enter the Eng Setup Node Settings you recorded earlier.

Deploy Switcher Update Package Files and Installer

1. Exit the Menu application and any other applications, that may be running on the Menu Panel or PC.

2. Disable any virus protection, Windows firewall, and any other firewall protections that may have been installed on the Menu Panel or PC. Firewalls must be inactive to allow switcher system software installation over the network.



3. Insert the GV Switcher Software USB stick into an available port on the Menu Panel or PC.

4. Locate the removable disk in My Computer and double-click on the GVSwitcherSetup.exe and click OK. Screens will appear as the files are extracted and the GV Switcher Deployment Tool is installed (Figure 9).

Check Software Versions

Launch the Menu application. The Status Menu will list the switcher system devices. Ensure all the components are running the same software version. Mismatched versions will be reported with red text (Figure 33).

Figure 33. Mismatched Software Versions

Confirm System Operation

1. Check that all the installed MEs are operational. Select different crosspoints on the Control Panel and fly a key with an iDPM.

2. Check that any software enabled options operate correctly. Existing authorization codes should work with the new software.

3. Check that EMEMs run properly. Older effects should work with the new software. If there are differences, however, you will need to edit or rebuild the effect with the new software version.

4. Reload the Macros and check that they operate correctly.

5. Load some Image Store images and confirm they display correctly.


Version 4.0

Backup New Configuration and Effects Files

1. When you are satisfied with system operation, save the new configuration files and effects as a Show file to a folder you’ve created on that version’s GV Switcher Software USB stick.

2. Label the media with the version and date and store it in a safe place.

3. Reactivate any virus protection on the Menu panel that may have been disabled at the start of this procedure.

This completes the standard switcher system software update procedure.

Other Grass Valley Switcher Systems Software UpdateMore than one switcher system (multiple Video Processor Frames) may reside on your network. Each system can operate simultaneously with dif-ferent software versions, as long as all the components in each system run the same software version.

Additional switcher systems are updated using the same procedure described before.

1. Select the other switcher system on the GV Switcher Installer Program System hierarchy screen, and choose Update All.

2. Insert the GV Switcher Software USB stick into each Menu Panel or PC associated with that switcher system and choose the Menu software update button.

Individual Switcher System Component UpdateIndividual components can be selected for update (just the Video Processor Frame, or just one Control Panel). However, all components of a switcher system must run the same software version. If updating components indi-vidually, make sure they all are at the same version before resuming Kayenne system operation.

CAUTION Allow the Video Processor Frame to completely finish rebooting before attempting to install Control Panel software. The Control Panel update process requires the Frame to be operational.

Removing Switcher Software

Menu Panel Application Removal

Running the GV Switcher Installer and clicking on the Menu button when that same version of Menu Panel software is already installed opens a



Repair/Remove screen (Figure 34). Selecting Remove uninstalls the applica-tion from the Menu Panel or PC.

Figure 34. GV Switcher Menu Panel Application Removal

GV Switcher Deployment Tool Files Removal

The GV Switcher Deployment Tool package can be removed from the Menu Panel or PC by inserting a GV Switcher Software USB stick con-taining the same version package. A Repair/Remove menu appears, allowing reinstallation (repair) or removal of the deployment files (Figure 35).

Figure 35. Deployment Tool Removal

Deployment Archive Files

When new software versions are installed with the GV Switcher Deploy-ment tool, older version deployment files are not automatically removed.


Version 4.0

Each GV Switcher deployment creates its own software version folder. If the default installation location, or the same alternative destination, is always chosen, all the version folders will be listed together (default desti-nation: C:ProgramFiles/Grass Valley/GV Switcher/GVSwitcherSystem_Vx.x.x). Running the KayenneInstaller.exe file in any version’s folder will permit installation of that version’s Kayenne files.

CAUTION Before installing an older version of the Menu Panel application, you must first un-install the newer, currently installed Menu Panel version, either using that newer version’s GV Switcher Deploy Tool or Windows Add/Remove Pro-grams. This also applies to Macro Editor installations.

Note All the components of a switcher system must run the same software ver-sion. If you want to return to an earlier version of software, you should back-down the software on the Video Processor Frame, all Control Panels, and all Menu Panel applications used with that switcher system.

Removing Using the Windows OS

GV Switcher Deployment Tool versions and Menu Panel programs can also be removed using standard Windows techniques (Setup/Add or Remove Programs).

Kayenne System IP Addresses

Default IP AddressesKayenne systems are shipped with default IP addresses (Table 7). These default addresses can be used if the Kayenne system is operating on a ded-icated network with no other devices present. Note that these addresses can be changed during installation, and so your system may not be using these defaults,

Kayenne System IP Addresses

New Single Control Surface Kayenne SystemsA new Kayenne system will operate on an isolated network with the default IP addresses configured at the factory (except for 32 Crosspoint Remote Aux panels). However, if you wish to integrate the Kayenne system into an existing network, wish to use gateway communications, or wish to add more Kayenne control surface components, IP addresses may need to be changed and Node lists updated accordingly.

Multiple Control Surfaces and SuitesIf you plan to use multiple control surfaces (for example, more than one Control Panel or more than one Menu Panel) with the same Video Pro-cessor frame, you must make sure the IP addresses of the additional items are unique before connecting them to the network. Using default IP addresses will cause network conflicts and unpredictable system opera-tion.
