Kayak HD Outputs
Video production switchers generate several different video outputs (such
as Program, Preview, AUX busses, and others). A final program output
(Main or DSK) is typically sent to the transmitter for broadcast and/or to
output devices for recording.
AUX Bus outputs may also be used for special purposes.
Kayak HD AUX Busses and Output Assignments
Kayak HD switchers provide 12 outputs per M/E. This means you can
have up to 24 outputs in the compact frame and up to 48 in the large frame.
For installed M/E boards the rear BNC outputs are active.
Any internal source can be assigned to these AUX bus outputs for moni-
toring. Safe Title can also be enabled on any of these AUX busses.
Kayak DD Outputs
Video production switchers generate several different video outputs (Pro-
gram, Preview, etc.). A final program output from PGM is typically sent to
the transmitter for broadcast and/or to output devices for recording.
Aux Bus outputs may also be used for special purposes.
Kayak DD Program and Preview Output Busses
For each M/E, the KayakDD system has dedicated BNC output connectors
for the following signals:
• 2x Program
• 1x Preview
• 1x Clean
• 1x Clean Preview
In addition
• 1x Aux 1 … Aux 10
Kayak DD Aux Busses
Video production switcher Aux Buses can be used to select and route
sources to specific destinations. For example, a source selected on an Aux
bus can be sent to an recorder for instant replay. This can be done directly
by the Technical Director while he/she switches the program.
Remote Aux panels can be used to give different operators control over one
or more Aux buses.
