36 Kayak — User Manual
Section 2 — Concepts
• Personality Setting (settings that give the operator the ability to cus-
tomize his individual work surface to meet his personal preferences).
All Kayak settings are non-volatile. Disk save and load operations are
available via the Sidepanel Program that allows users to store configura-
tion information on the hard disk of a PC or on a movable media for easy
transport and for use as backup copies.
Installation (Engineering Setups)
Engineering Setups control how the Kayak Digital Production Switcher’s
major components behave and interact, and how the Kayak system inter-
acts with the rest of the facility.
Engineering Setups are not likely to change on a daily basis and so are
grouped separately from Configurations and Personality Settings. Facility
maintenance personnel or the engineer in charge of a production truck gen-
erally manages Engineering Setups. These parameters are usually set
during installation.
Engineering Setups information includes:
• Networking (IP addresses),
• Timing, Type of Reference signal
• External device interfaces (DDRs, VTRs, DPM, Router, AUX Control
Panels, etc.),
• Various other system functions
Config — Application Control
The configuration defines how the control surfaces associated with a Kayak
suite behave. A configuration can substantially change system behavior,
not just a user’s view of the system. The configuration is saved in applica-
tions and is intended for day-to-day or session-to-session changes in Kayak
system operating behavior. Applications are open for modification by oper-
ators.
Loading and Storing applications can be performed using the Sidepanel
(
Config) and also with the Control Panel Menu (Config / Appli Control).
Config Applications include:
• E-MEM
• Macros
• Key Memory
• Pattern Memory
