Source Patch Feature
The GV K-Frame XP system provides a way to map engineering source IDs to logical IDs,
using the Source Patch feature. By default this mapping is one-to-one, but this feature can
be used to quickly set up production elements for use in a different facility. For example, a
show’s effects, DDR clips, and taped material may have been built in one production truck
with one set of devices, but the next show is scheduled for a different truck. Previously, to
use effects in the other truck the Technical Director (TD) would need to edit the
engineering source definitions in the new truck so they exactly matched the old truck. By
remapping the engineering sources of the devices in the new truck to the logical sources
used to build the effects, all the effects can be used without having to edit them. Source
Patching can also be used to quickly swap out a defective device during a show without
having to reconfigure the engineering sources. In this case logical names seen by the
production personnel would be identical for that content, even though the actual device
playing the material changed.
Note: Source Patching is the bridge between engineering sources and
logical sources. Both TD and EIC should make reference to this menu when
resolving source issues. The mechanism is similar in concept to a physical
patch panel. Effects and all source selections are based on logical sources.
Tally and associations with external devices are based on engineering
sources.
After sources have been defined they can be mapped to Control Panel buttons. The Button
Mapping menu (accessed by touching
User Setups, Panel Prefs, Button Mapping) is used
to map the sources associated with each source selection button. Refer to the
Kayenne/Karrera/GV Korona User Manual for specific button mapping instructions.
