Engineering Names, Eng IDs, and Logical IDs
Engineering names are intended to identify a source as it applies to a specific facility. In a
truck, for example, cameras may be hard wired to the production switcher and might be
given Engineering names 1, 2, and 3. Names like Patch 14 or Rtr 5 may be used for inputs
that are patched or routed. Engineering names are entered in the Eng Setup Source
Definition menu, as described above. Engineering source IDs are numeric only, and are
available on data pads and scroll knobs for quick selection. The GV Switcher system also has
logical IDs, that can be used for source patching, as explained later.
Alternative Source Names
Alternative names can be assigned to sources for the convenience of production personnel.
For example, you may give the cameras menu names that include the operator (C1 Bob, C2
Phil, and C3 Bill), but remove the operator names from the OLED names to show C1, C2, and
C3 in larger characters. These alternative names are entered in the Source Patch menu.
The Source Patch menu has three editable columns for defining up to three alternative
names:
A
Panel Name is limited to four characters, to fit the space available on the Control Panel’s
Transition Area. This name is only displayed on the Control Panel.
An
OLED Name appears only on the Source Name Displays on the Control Panel. Up to
eight characters are displayed.
A
Menu Name is limited to eight characters, and appears on all the GV Switcher menu
application screens except Engineering Setup menus, which always display engineering IDs
or names.
Multiple Suites and Source Names
Different sets of these alternative source names are defined for each GV Switcher suite.
Ensure the GV Switcher Menu Application you are using is logged into the correct suite
(Eng Setup, Eng Login). The same set of engineering names will be used by all of the
suites, however.
Source Name Display Hierarchy
If a source’s engineering name is left blank, the Eng ID number will be used. If no alternative
names are defined for that source, then that Eng ID number will appear on all the GV
Switcher system displays.
If an engineering name has been entered (see the Kayenne/Karrera/GV Korona Installation &
Service Manual) then the engineering name will be displayed on all the system displays,
including menus. Engineering names will be truncated to the character limits of the display,
starting with the first character.
For alternative names entered in the User Setups, Suite Prefs, Source Patch menu, the
following rules apply:
For the three editable columns:
Panel Name, OLED Name, and Menu Name, if any of the
three are left blank for that source, the first name to the left appears in that display on the
system (if all three are left blank, the name in the Eng. Source Column is displayed). For
