Signal Routing
Source definition data is stored as a part of Engineering Setups. Only one
set of source definition data can be active on a Kalypso system at a time.
Note that source definition is separate from source memory, which speci-
fies what processing is to be applied to the source and can dynamically
change during system operation.
Source to Button Mapping
Source to button mapping makes it possible to organize sources on Kalypso
control panels in a preferred order. For example, cameras can be placed on
the left side or the right side of the button row, whichever is preferred.
Source mapping is distinct from source definition, as source mapping only
involves the location of sources on the control panel and does not affect any
capabilities defined for the sources. Note that E-MEM effects store the
source IDs, not the source select buttons, so remapping sources will not
change the appearance of recalled effects. On the Kalypso system, button
mapping for each Main panel bank and Local Aux panel can be different.
Source Naming
Names can be given to sources. The Kalypso system actually supports dif-
ferent source naming schemes, with associated IDs, to accommodate dif-
ferent needs.
Engineering ID – An unchanging numeric value associated with a source. This
value is used to unambiguously identify each source from an engineering
perspective, regardless of how it may have been named. On-air tally uses
Engineering IDs so the proper device always receives tally.
Engineering Name – An editable name that can be associated with a source,
intended for use by facility engineers to ease source identification. An Engi-
neering name may that of a particular hard wired device (Cam 1), or it may
indicate a patch bay location or a router source or destination. Naming
sources in this manner can help engineers configure and re-configure their
facility wiring.
Logical ID – An unchanging numeric value associated with a source used in
a production environment. Effects and source memory use Logical IDs.
Logical Name – An editable name that can be associated with a Logical ID,
used as a convenience to the user to identify sources in a production envi-
ronment.
Logical Nickname – An alternative editable name that can also be associated
with a Logical ID. Generally Logical nicknames are short to make larger
characters appear in the Kalypso system Source Name Displays. If both a
Logical name and a Logical nickname are specified, the nickname appears
only on the Source Name Displays.
