Grass Valley Kahuna Production Switchers

9.7 Release 1

This release adds the following enhancement(s) and corrects the following issue(s) that are separated out as follows:

• New Features and Enhancements, on page 5
• Bugs Fixed, on page 6

New Features and Enhancements

• ⭐ New K-Manager Pro option to run stand-alone on a PC rather than as a shared service. This can be used when there are certain local IT restrictions for running Windows Services. In this mode, the Watch and Mirror instances would only run when the KMP application is running. Select required mode during installation on PC.
• ⭐ K-Manager Pro: The Clip Preview Player can now upload directly into Store RAM.

Bugs Fixed

• ⭐ Resource Link, Substitution Tables can now incorporate a cut delay.
• ⭐ Substitution table copy/paste function added along with the ability to change the "Crosspoint Link" settings for large blocks of Crosspoints.
• ⭐ ME based HDR/WCG settings now have their own Enable in User Config files. (Note: Existing User Config files will still recall the saved HDR/WCG settings, but the Enable will be inoperable on old files.)
• ⭐ Enabled access to Ross Talk protocol.
• ⭐ Double-clicking a value field on the external GUI Menu will bring up the pop-up to change the setting.
• ⭐ On IP fins, the RTP payload settings can now be set in RollCall.
• ⭐ IP fin software updated to version 17.3.
• ⭐ Panel warning message now shows when the selected Fixed LUT conversion file is missing or corrupted.
• ⭐ Menu tracking added to MSP Soft Panel.
• Local Trans on Keyers when using primary and secondary transitions could trigger unwanted change of key state. (Note: Only one Local Transition is possible per keyer at any moment. If two are triggered, the second transition will be queued and will happen once the first has completed.)
• Multiviewer time-of-day clock display could fail to update on some M/V heads. To use this feature delete all text from a Tile's Title field and turn on the Title. The clock can be positioned outside tile area.
• Button Maps Edit menu now shows user entered names instead of input names which could be confusing when using Tie-Line inputs.
• Fade-to-Black panel button not flashing when FTB is active.
• Incorrect enables indication on MSP.
• Crosspoint buttons showed unshifted source colours when latched in Shift-Mode.
• Format Fusion Pan settings could be wrong on sources upscaled to UHD.
• Store file "Save frame to Icon" function exceedingly slow to operate.
• .mov files with embedded alpha channels converted using K-Manager Pro could exhibit key level discrepancies.
• ATM User Function modules could show incorrect ME display on DMEM pages.
• Switcher States saved on MSP could be incorrectly time-stamped.
• HDR conversion Lift & Gain settings still operable when using a Fixed LUT conversion.
• Macro Editor unable to change the clip on some replay peripherals.
• IP fins could report erroneous loss of reference.
• MSP User Function cut & paste does not work.
• MSP Misc file import/export does not work.
• Sources on the ME busses menu do not display correctly on MAV GUI.

• MSP updated to version 4.1 incorporating an expanded new-look K-Manager Pro which now includes a Clip player giving a function to trim clips and forward them to a K-Watch service for conversion and direct uploading to a Mainframe (where licensed).
• MSP 4.1 also includes a new HDR LUT feature which translates .cube LUT files and uploads them to a Kahuna mainframe for HDR / SDR conversions using pre-defined LUTs (where licensed).
• Panel Operating System update.
• On User Function Pads set to the ME or DVE NumPad page type, double hitting the Page Delegate button will bring up an Enables & Effects Dissolve popup on the external GUI to allow the user to set Enables & Effects Dissolves when saving DMEMs or DVE Mems on the NumPad single-push save feature.
• MAV fader modules can now be used on a Panel in AMPP control mode.
• MSP now creates unique Panel name based on PC and User names. It is still possible to rename an MSP panel (logged off menu 02) and MSP panels which have already been given a name will retain their names.
• MSP now supports multiple IP addresses on network interfaces.
• Improvements to Visca camera control menus, giving easier control of Multi Visca Camera setups plus more control of camera parameters.
• Visca control menu can now set the Video Standard of GRASS VALLEY PTZ 35X HD cameras.

• Users with limited Project Access could be unable to Copy and Paste Keyer settings.
• Saving a Button Map file could corrupt Button Maps on Unclustered Panels connected to the same Mainframe.

• Automatic failover when NMOS enabled on primary and secondary media ports.
