1.2 Overview
The Creative Grading system consists of three main components: the CGP 500 (panel), the
CGA (tablet) and the CCS-ONE (server).
1.2.1 CGP 500 - Creative Grading Panel
The CGP offers the most flawless and intuitive control of Grass Valley camera systems. The
large color display, the touch buttons and the multif funtional stick put the camera’s creativity
back in the shader’s hands.
The CGP 500 can also run without a CCS-ONE, providing basic single-camera functionality.
1.2.2 CCS-ONE - Cameras Control Server
This is the brain of the system. The CCS-ONE is required to have the additional functionality of
Creative Grading such as tablet-connectivity. The CCS-ONE runs the Creative Grading Engine
(CGE) which is pre-installed on the CCS-ONE.
One CCS-ONE is required per C2IP subnet and can host up to 99 cameras.
It runs Windows 10 IoT LTSB, which means it can run the latest and greatest network safety
tools, as demanded by many broadcasters. This operation system guarantees minimal
updates, long support and minimal amount of not-needed processes running in the
background.
An MCP 450 PC Box cannot run the Creative Grading Engine (CGE).
1.2.3 CGA - Creative Grading Application
The Creative Grading Application is the rich user interface of the Creative Grading system. The
app is available free of charge from the respective app stores. The CGA runs on a standard,
commercially available tablet computer (not sold by Grass Valley). The Creative Grading
Application requires a CCS-ONE (with the Creative Engine software installed) to operate.
The Creative Grading Application is currently only available for Apple Ipad tablets.
