K-Frame Release Notes, Version 10.6
Windows Operating System Requirements
Windows Operating System Requirements
Windows 7 or Windows 10 is required for Grass Valley menu software version 10.6 or newer.
.
iDPM Support for Full 4K 2SI Effects
Four iDPMs per keyer are used to fly a full 4K effect in 4K 2SI Frame Operating Mode. Up to
four, 4K iDPMs are possible with 16 physical iDPM resources licensed and acquired. See the
Version 10.6 K-Frame Installation & Service Manual for physical resource allocation between
suites and iDPM licensing instructions.
When an iDPM is selected in 4K 2SI mode, four sub-images from the keyer source are
delegated to four iDPMs. This allows you to create a full 4K iDPM effect when the keyer
source image is 3840x2160 (a 1080p image will be replicated to four iDPMs).
.
Importing Image Store Audio in 4K Frame Operating Mode
Images, image sequences, and movies with paired audio (stereo) can be imported into
Image Store cache, and/or saved to disk. The video with audio must also match the frame
rate; 59.97Hz, 50Hz, or 60Hz, otherwise only the video will be imported.
1080P ME Resources Available in 4K Frame Operating Mode
MEs can be released while in 4K mode (Suite 1) and acquired as 1080p. This allows you to
create a dual show in both 4K and 1080p or a sub-show, in either suite, from a single
K-Frame system. It is recommended that you save separate Engineering Setup and Show
files before and after releasing and acquiring ME resources so they can be reloaded as
needed.
To reacquire the ME as 4K, the 4K Frame Operating Mode must be selected either by
loading the saved Show file or in the Eng Setup, Video Settings menu. See the Version 10.6,
K-Frame Installation & Service Manual for information about Frame Operating Modes and
allocating resources across suites.
Note: A Windows 10 upgrade (SWIT-OPT-OS-UPG) configured
specifically for Grass Valley systems is available. If your system is under a
service agreement, please contact Support, otherwise contact the Sales
department. Contact information is available on the Grass Valley website.
Note: In earlier software versions supporting 4K 2SI mode, the keyer
source image was replicated as four sub-images and delegated to one
iDPM only.
Note: : A tolerance of +/-10% of the width and height of an image is
allowed. Stills, sequences, or movies outside those tolerances will be
center cut.
Note: ME-4 is 1080p only, and allocated to Suite 1 by default.

K-FRAME
Release Notes
Interpolation Controls for 2D-DPM Added to Film Look Menu
Controls for setting the interpolation for 2D-DPM Video/Key have been added to the iDPM,
Film Look menu. You can select Frame, Field, or Adaptive mode for Video and Key. Video
and Key are set as one threshold for 2D-DPMs.
About the K-Frame Software Update
K-Frame systems are shipped with the current software version installed on the Frame and
Control Surface. Updates to K-Frame system software are available for download from the
Grass Valley website. Software installation tools are provided with each update package.
The K-Frame Deployment Tool extracts and copies Grass Valley switcher system files to a
Menu Panel or PC. These files include the K-Frame Installer Program.
The K-Frame Installer Program is used to install the extracted software to Grass Valley Video
Processor Frame(s) and Control Panel(s) over the network. The K-Frame Installer Program
also launches other installation tools (wizards). One wizard installs the Menu application
directly on the Menu Panel or PC running the installer program. If multiple Menu Panels (or
PCs running the Menu application) exist, each must be updated individually. Installation
wizards can also be launched for the KSP and NetConfig features.
Run the Menu Auditor for Third Party Updates
The Menu Auditor Program is included on the USB Stick provided with your system and
available from the grassvalley.com support menu. The Menu Auditor is run to verify that the
required Third Party Updates are installed, including Microsoft .NET. The Menu Auditor will
indicate which updates need to be installed to ensure an up-to-date system.

screen, and choose Update All.
2 Insert the K-Frame Software USB stick into each Menu Panel or PC associated with that
switcher system and choose the Menu software update button.
Individual Switcher System Component Update
Individual components can be selected for update (just the Video Processor Frame,
optional Image Store, or just one Control Panel). However, all components of a switcher
system must run the same software version. If updating components individually, make
sure they all are at the same version before resuming K-Frame system operation.
K-Frame Software Removal With Windows OS
K-Frame Deployment Tool versions and Menu Panel programs can be removed using
standard Windows techniques (Setup/Add or Remove Programs/Uninstall or Change
Programs, etc.).
Deployment Archive Files
When new software versions are installed with the K-Frame Deployment tool, older version
deployment files are not automatically removed. Each K-Frame deployment creates its own
software version folder. If the default installation location, or the same alternative
destination, is always chosen, all the version folders will be listed together.
Default destinations:
• C:\Program Files (x86)\ Grass Valley \ GV Switcher \ K_Frame_Switcher_VX.X for 64-bit
• C:\Program Files\ Grass Valley \ GV Switcher \ K_Frame_Switcher_VX.X for 32-bit
systems.
Running the K_FrameInstaller.exe file in any version’s folder will permit installation of that
version’s files.
CAUTION: Allow the Video Processor Frame and optional Image Store to
completely finish rebooting before attempting to install
Control Panel software. The Control Panel update process
requires the Frame to be operational.

K-Frame System Default IP Addresses
K-Frame systems are shipped with default IP addresses. These default addresses can be
used if the K-Frame system is operating on a dedicated network with no other devices
present. Note that these addresses can be changed during installation, and so your system
may not be using these defaults.
CAUTION: Before installing an older version of the Menu Panel
application, you must first uninstall the newer, currently
installed Menu Panel version, either using that newer version’s
K-Frame Deploy Tool or Windows Add/Remove Programs.
Note: All the components of a switcher system must run the same
software version. If you want to return to an earlier version of software,
you should back-down the software on the Video Processor Frame, all
Control Panels, and all Menu Panel applications used with that switcher
system.
