Page 59: Section 2 - Control Panels
Section Control Panels Introduction A basic Kalypso system is equipped with a Main panel, a Local Aux panel, a Menu panel, and removable media drives. These separate control panel components make up a Kalypso control surface. Interactions occur between the components of the control surface. For example, changing controls on the Main panel can change the status of soft buttons on the Menu panel, and vice versa.
Page 60: Alternate Action
Section 2 — Control Panels On some single press buttons, pressing the button again while the action is being performed (the button will be lit) halts the action. The Auto Trans button is an example of a single press button that can be halted. Alternate Action Some system functions have two states, and are turned on and off by a single alternate action button.

Introduction ling keyer opacity to controlling border opacity. A hold down latch param- eter exists in user configuration that permits single handed operation by extending the hold down behavior for a user-specified period of time after the button is released. Hold down buttons that do not light during normal use will go high tally when a hold down is active.
Page 62: Dialogs And Prompting
Section 2 — Control Panels Flashing tally is reserved for situations where the operator needs to be aware that some expected panel behavior has been changed (see Dialogs and Prompting below). Tallys will be off for buttons whose functions are off or not available. If a disabled button is pressed a warning notification occurs (audible beep and/or message on the Menu panel).
Page 63 Introduction matte generators, making dedicated controls for each object unfeasible. Delegation connects a group of controls, typically a subpanel, to a partic- ular object. Delegation can greatly reduce confusion over which button to press or which knob to turn to control each object in the system. See the separate Kalypso User Manual for more information about delegation.

4-M/E Main Panel When a Trans Rate button is pressed, the Auto Trans and the four Key 1-4 Mix buttons will flash and the E-MEM readout prompts for the rate to be set. Pressing one of the flashing buttons delegates the E MEM keypad to that transition rate and its current rate appears on the readout.
Page 82: M/E Keyer Delegation Buttons
Section 2 — Control Panels M/E Keyer Delegation Buttons The M/E Keyer delegation buttons allow the operator to make quick and sure changes to any desired keyer. These buttons can also be used to momentarily delegate a key bus for source selection, and can be used for hold to preview.
Page 83: Multiple Keyer Delegations
4-M/E Main Panel Multiple Keyer Delegations The M/E Keyer Delegation buttons can delegate the Keyers, Mattes, Masks, and/or the Transform subpanels to more than one keyer. If a sub- panel’s controls have been delegated to multiple keyers, the subpanel del- egation buttons will go off, to indicate a single keyer is not being controlled by that subpanel.

Page 85: Keyers Subpanel
4-M/E Main Panel Keyers Subpanel The Keyers subpanel (Figure 56) provides controls that can be delegated to control any of the 16 Kalypso keyers (4 in each M/E). Many buttons in this subpanel are organized into interconnected groups, allowing selection of only one button at a time in each group.
Page 86 Section 2 — Control Panels Manual delegation of an individual keyer involves selecting one button in each group. Two additional delegation buttons are also used for masking (see Inhibit and Force Mask Delegation Buttons on page 90). Manually changing the selection in one of these button groups does not change the current selection in the other group.
Page 87 4-M/E Main Panel Key Type Buttons The four buttons in the Key Type button group selects from five different key types for the delegated keyer. Single button selection is available for Fixed Linear Key, Luminance Key, Chroma Key, and Preset Pattern. An Adjustable Linear Key is also available.

Page 94: Mattes Subpanel
Section 2 — Control Panels Mattes Subpanel The Mattes subpanel is used to control the Kalypso system’s 58 Matte gen- erators. Mattes can be used in backgrounds, in the borders of keys and wipes, to edge preset patterns, and as matte fill. Figure 61.
Page 95 4-M/E Main Panel Mattes Subpanel Delegation Buttons M/E and keyer delegation is controlled with four button groups (M/E and Background, Keyer and Wipe, Key Matte Type, and Base/Wash Fill. • The M/E 1-3 Pgm Pst , and Bkgd 1-2 buttons manually delegate the Mattes subpanel to control either an M/E or one of the two Background mattes.
Page 96 Section 2 — Control Panels Mattes Subpanel Delegation Control Buttons Auto Deleg Last Deleg buttons in the Delegation Control group affect the current delegation of the Mattes subpanel. (The Keyers/Masks sub- panel has its own independent delegation control buttons for those sub- panels).
Page 97 4-M/E Main Panel Note When a Background matte generator has been selected for control, only the Keyer Wipe button will light when either the Keyer Wipe, C1 Wipe, or C2 Wipe button is pressed. Background mattes have their own simple wipe pattern generator producing a single line that can be rotated, offset, softened, and textured.
Page 98 Section 2 — Control Panels For example (Figure 62), delegating to the Wipe 1 transition, then selecting for the wash gives the knob Offset control (if the C1 pattern gener- C1 Wipe ator is assigned to Wipe 1). This wash edge will track the transition as it is being performed.
Page 99 4-M/E Main Panel When either Bkgd 1 Bkgd 2 is selected when a wash is active, the Keyer Wipe geometry button will light and the knobs control the Offset and Softness of the wash edge (Figure 64). Backgrounds actually do not use Keyer wipe generators.

Section 2 — Control Panels The transform data, however, is still transferred to the destination M/E even if a Transform Engine is not acquired. If the destination M/E subse- quently acquires a Transform Engine, the copied transform effects will run correctly.
Page 103: Keypad Numeric Entry Buttons
4-M/E Main Panel Keypad Numeric Entry Buttons The E-MEM keypad has 12 numeric entry buttons ( ) and Undo/• Enter five prefix buttons. The prefix buttons are used to delegate the keypad to different numeric entry functions (see below). Same Bank Effect Recall The default use of the keypad when a prefix button is not active is to recall an effect to that M/E.
Page 104: Keypad Prefix Buttons
Section 2 — Control Panels Keypad Preﬁx Buttons The same keypad buttons are used to enter values for different functions. The prefix buttons ( Lock/Learn Effect Dis , ↑/ Bank Trans Rate ) determine which function will be affected by the values entered. Some functions are nested.
Page 105 4-M/E Main Panel The next empty register will receive the effect data and become the current effect. This action will not occur and an error will be displayed if there are no empty registers. To learn M/E settings to a register in a different bank, the new bank must be specified.
Page 106 Section 2 — Control Panels being executed terminates the sequence operation. Any any effect dissolve (or effect run) will complete, and the last recalled register will remain the current effect.
