Grass Valley announced new Kayenne Production Switcher control surfaces for sports, entertainment and live events. Combining the new Kayenne modular Video Production Center surfaces with the K-Frame XP video processing engines.
“We’ve listened to our users and by drawing on our Kayenne design heritage and innovated by adding touchscreen areas, additional tactile feel for 8-keyer recall buttons, new Panel Control and Menu Control Units, along with new easily sourced standardized cabling – all of which enables future customer-defined operational enhancements,” commented Greg Huttie, VP Production Switching for Grass Valley. “The added plus of these new bundles is that they come at a reduced price, giving users a more affordable offering with all the same creative power that is expected from a premier Grass Valley switcher, all while making the lives of TDs and EICs easier.”
Grass Valley’s “Any Surface, Any Engine” philosophy affords panels such as Korona and Karerra to be paired with any K-Frame including the CXP, SXP, low-cost V-series, or software-based switcher offerings powered by AMPP.
K-Frame engines can now be fitted with a JPEG XS board, for IP inputs and outputs, based on the user’s requirements complementing the native JPEG-XS support found in Grass Valley LDX 100 series cameras and the latest C135 compact camera.
