Page 161: Multiple Suite Resource Sharing
Multiple Suite Resource Sharing Multiple Suite Resource Sharing Introduction The Resource Sharing feature permits the allocation of Karrera system resources between two suites. This allows independent system operation from multiple locations without conflict. Logical resource assignments allow the reuse of E-MEM effects in either suite regardless of which specific hardware resources were allocated.
Page 162: Independent Resource Sharing
When one suite has acquired a resource, only the operator or group of operators in that suite will be able to control it. An example of independent sharing is splitting a 4-ME Karrera system into two independent 2-ME switchers (Figure 110).
Page 163: Control Surface
A control surface is generally a group of panels which interact and provide a single user a unified work surface. An example of this type of control surface is a Control Panel and Menu Panel of a 4-ME Karrera system. These panels combine to form a Technical Director’s (TD) control surface. Other...
Page 164: Logical Aux Buses
A control surface may also consist of a single item. For example, a Menu Panel (or a laptop computer running the Karrera Menu application) can act as a separate control surface in a suite. With Resource Sharing, up to two control surfaces can be created for each of the two suites.
Page 165: Setting Up Resource Sharing

This is the safest method of resetting the panel. CAUTION The Reset button inside the Karrera Control Panel, located on the processor board under the air guide, performs a hard reboot of that panel’s single board computer (equivalent to turning the power switch off and on).
Page 228: Authorization Codes
Authorization Codes The authorization process involves receiving an authorization code from Grass Valley and entering it in a menu on the Karrera system. The authori- zation code is associated with a particular Karrera Video Processor Frame, identified by a System ID#, and is not transferable to different hardware. If you have multiple Karrera systems at your facility, you will need to enter an authorization code onto each system.
Page 229: Enter Permanent Authorization Code
2. Write down the System ID displayed on the upper left portion of the menu. 3. If you have more than one Karrera system, repeat the above steps on every system that will have options enabled. 4. Contact Grass Valley Customer Support and request a code for each Karrera System ID.
Page 230: Temporary Authorizations
For demonstration or rental, optional features can be authorized tempo- rarily. Once you have obtained the temporary authorization code, enter it on the Karrera system using the procedure described above, except you first select one of the buttons. Temporary authorization information is Temp displayed on the right portion of the menu.
