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.

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 sep- arate Kalypso User Manual for more information about delegation.
Page 64 Section 2 — Control Panels • DPOP (Double Press Open) and SPOP (Single Press Open) Menu dele- gation, in which double or single pressing a button brings up the appro- priate menu on the Menu panel. Active DPOP and SPOP buttons and their menus are listed in Table 3 Table 3.
Page 65: Time Value Entry
Introduction • Keypad delegation. Besides being used to recall effects, the E-MEM and Master E-MEM keypads are also used to enter numeric values. Pressing a numeric preﬁx button delegates the keypad to numeric entry for that function. The numeric preﬁx buttons and controlled numeric functions are listed in Table Table 4.

Page 83: M/E Keyer Delegation Buttons
4-M/E Main Panel 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 84: Multiple Keyer Delegations
Section 2 — Control Panels 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: M/E Modifiers
4-M/E Main Panel M/E Modiﬁers The M/E Modiﬁers area is divided into four subpanels corresponding to Keyers, Masks, Mattes, and Copy/Swap functions (Figure 55). Figure 55. M/E Modiﬁers on Main Panel M/E Modifiers Area Mattes Subpanel Copy Swap Subpanel Masks Subpanel Keyers Subpanel Delegation determines which M/E and keyer, or matte is being controlled at any given time by the M/E Modiﬁers controls.
Page 86: Keyers Subpanel
Section 2 — Control Panels 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 87 4-M/E Main Panel 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 91). Manually changing the selection in one of these button groups does not change the current selection in the other group.
Page 88 Section 2 — Control Panels 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 98 Section 2 — Control Panels 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 99 4-M/E Main Panel For example (Figure 62), delegating to the transition, then selecting Wipe 1 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.
