Sidepanel Menu Summaries
Introduction
The Sidepanel program is a PC-based program, which is used as the menu
part of the Grass Valley DD35/XtenDD switcher control system.
Since the Kayak HD is also a member of this control system, the Sidepanel
program can be used to enhance the possibilities of the Kayak HD switcher.
More advanced features, which you normally do not find on a switcher of
this size will become available by the use of this program also for the
smaller types of the Kayak Series.
The Sidepanel can also be used to control Kayak HD mainframes by
XtenDD Control Panels like RPS 35-4/32.
The program runs on the Windows operating system requiring at least
Windows 95 or later.
Note Since the Sidepanel program is also used for the XtenDD series, this manual
shows additional items which are not available for the Kayak HD system.
Note In some menus of the Sidepanel you may find features which are not yet
implemented in the Kayak HD system or will not be available at all, due to a
different hardware structure
Due to their logic structuring and application of standard elements, the
menus are largely self-explaining. The setup is made according to the
Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) usual in the PC world. Control of the indi-
vidual functions is possible with the associated softkeys as well as with a
mouse.
The following sections serve as an introduction into the philosophy of
menu control, describing only the most important elements. Detailed infor-
mation concerning the individual menus is contained in the following
chapters of the manual.
