Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 Welcome
Comprised of a control panel (CGP 500) and a companion touchscreen application (CGA), Grass
Valley’s Creative Grading bundles multiple camera operations into an intuitive and versatile user
interface. Camera shaders can now easily and quickly manage adjustments, such as transitions
from indoor to outdoor lighting. Shaders can seamlessly manipulate images thanks to the tight
connection between panel and control and the dynamic adaptation to any format (HDR, WCG,
4K UHD, etc.) in real-time.
1.1.1 About this guide
The purpose of this user’s guide is to present a detailed description of how to install, set up
and operate the Creative Grading system.
1.1.2 Compatibility
This user’s guide describes the functionality of the following system components:

• Software updates, release notes and installation instructions are available for download.
1.2 Overview
The Creative Grading system consists of three main components: the CGP 500 (panel), the
CGA (tablet) and the CCS-ONE (server).
1.2.1 CGP 500 - Creative Grading Panel
The CGP offers the most flawless and intuitive control of Grass Valley camera systems. The
large color display, the touch buttons and the multif funtional stick put the camera’s creativity
back in the shader’s hands.
☞Note ☞Note
The CGP 500 can also run without a CCS-ONE, providing basic single-camera functionality.
1.2.2 CCS-ONE - Cameras Control Server
This is the brain of the system. The CCS-ONE is required to have the additional functionality of
Creative Grading such as tablet-connectivity. The CCS-ONE runs the Creative Grading Engine
(CGE) which is pre-installed on the CCS-ONE.
One CCS-ONE is required per C2IP subnet and can host up to 99 cameras.
It runs Windows 10 IoT LTSB, which means it can run the latest and greatest network safety
tools, as demanded by many broadcasters. This operation system guarantees minimal
updates, long support and minimal amount of not-needed processes running in the
background.
☞Note ☞Note
An MCP 450 PC Box cannot run the Creative Grading Engine (CGE).
1.2.3 CGA - Creative Grading Application
The Creative Grading Application is the rich user interface of the Creative Grading system. The
app is available free of charge from the respective app stores. The CGA runs on a standard,
commercially available tablet computer (not sold by Grass Valley). The Creative Grading
Application requires a CCS-ONE (with the Creative Engine software installed) to operate.
☞Note ☞Note
The Creative Grading Application is currently only available for Apple Ipad tablets.

Chapter 2 - Installation
•Tablet computer — Apple iPad (at least a 6th generation device running iOS 13 or higher)
with Apple Ethernet connection and powering hardware.
•Ethernet switch — equipped with enough ports for the total amount of CGPs. A Power
over Ethernet (PoE) switch is recommended.
•Power supply unit — for each CGP if Power over Ethernet is not used.
• Ethernet UTP cables.
2.2 Installing the CCS-ONE Cameras Control Server
2.2.1 Connecting the server
• Attach a monitor via HDMI and a mouse and keyboard via USB to the CCS-ONE (monitor,
mouse and keyboard are not delivered with the product).
• Connect power (use the power supply that is shipped with the product) to the DC Input of
the CCS-ONE. By default the server powers up automatically after power is applied.
2.2.2 Setting up the server
• In the Windows start screen, log in with admin as the user name and enter admin as the
password.
• Go to Start on the taskbar and go to Settings > Network & Internet > View your
network properties and locate the IP (IPv4) settings of the LAN Public network interface.
Copy or write down these settings for later use when installing the CGA app.
2.2.3 Setting up the network
• Connect an Ethernet switch to the C2IP Ethernet port of the CCS-ONE. Connect CGPs to
this switch.
☞Note ☞Note
When CGPs, XCUs and/or a CCS-ONE are located in seperate LAN (or VLAN) networks, a C2IP
Nameserver is required to establish connections between devices in the different networks.

It is allowed to use more than one CCS-ONE server in a camera control system but the servers
operate individually, unaware of each other.
2.2.4 Adding a storage USB Flash Drive
As external storage space, a USB Flash Drive can be inserted into a free USB port. The USB
Flash Drive can be used in the CGA to store camera files and/or CGP configurations. Refer to
