About this Manual
The GV K-Frame XP User Manuals are designed for operators of Video Production Center
systems.
Documentation Libraries can be found at www.grassvalley.com.
Standard Documentation Set
The standard documentation set consists of a:
•User Manual,
•Installation & Service Manual,
•Installation Planning Guides,
•Release Notes, and
•Release Notes Addendum.
The GV K-Frame XP User Manuals contains background information about the Video
Production Center, and describes operating procedures. This manual can be used while
learning, and for enhancing your basic knowledge of the system.
The Installation & Service Manuals contains information about installing, configuring, and
maintaining the system.
The Installation & Planning Guides contain information about preparing your site for power,
installation, and cabling.
The Release Notes contain information about new features and system enhancements for a
specific software version, and also includes software installation procedures. Always check
the release notes for your current system software before you begin operating your system.
The Release Notes Addenda contain corrected and known issues about the system software.
Other Documentation
The Switcher Products Protocols Manual is available for developers and software engineers
to use to design interfaces to the GV K-Frame XP systems.
The Ethernet Tally is a proprietary protocol that provides all of the switcher status
information required to calculate the Tally state of the switcher. The Ethernet Tally Software
Development Kit (SDK) is available to approved vendors who need to interface with the
Ethernet Tally system. Contact Grass Valley Product Management for more information on
this SDK.
The KSP Graphical User Interface Instruction Manual provides information, requirements, and
instructions for operating the 1-M/E switcher Soft Panel GUI on a touch screen or regular
PC, including the optional customized keyboard.

Introduction
Overview
Features
General
The Grass Valley K-Frame family of multi-format digital production switchers provides
powerful, ground-breaking features designed to meet the widest range of requirements for
live studio, mobile, and post-production applications.
The following Video Processors are the heart of the system, providing extensive video
switching and signal processing capabilities:
•Standard
•Compact
•S-series
•V-series
•GV K-Frame X
•GV K-Frame XP
This functionality is controlled using any Control Panel with any Video Processor Frame:
•Kayenne control surface,
•Karrera control surface,
•GV Korona control surface,
•the Soft Panel (KSP option), and/or
•the Menu application running on a PC (Menu on PC).
In addition, the system supports direct control of external devices (DDRs, Servers) and bi-
directional control to and from routing and automation systems.
•Fully digital 10-bit 4:2:2 video switcher including 4K, HDR (HLG and PQ), 1080p, and
2160p support:
•SDI—2160p, 1080p level-A, 1080i and 720p
•IP I/O—1080p level-A
•IP I/O—2160p (GV K-Frame XP iStandard and Compact are the only models with internal
2160p processing. The rest are Quad processing for 4K.)
•Optional smart I/O modules provide up/down/cross-conversion when licensed with
SetDef and MatchDef.

Introduction
K-Frame Standard Frame
20
•4K UHD using 2SI (2 Sample Interleave) or SDQS (Square Division QuadSplit) is
converted to 2160p video for internal processing using hardware on the IP and
SDI I/O Boards.
•Integrated Macro Builder/Editor allows users to edit macros online or offline on a PC
running the menu application.
•Optional DoubleTake™ (split M/E mode) effectively increases the number of M/Es and
adds flexibility to Suites operation while FlexiKey™ programmable clean feed mode
supports separately programmable configurations of keyers from four M/E outputs.
•FlexiKey™ programmable clean feed mode supports separately programmable
configurations of keyers from four M/E outputs.
•Aux bus transitions for dissolves and wipes on aux bus outputs.
•Interfaces with Grass Valley routers supporting Native Protocol.
•Optional Integrated Image Store capable of delivering up to 32 GB, 64GB or 128GB
storage ofStills (3,000/6,000/12,000 images) or “Movies”(a total of 50 seconds, 1 minute
40 seconds or 3 minutes 20 seconds) of1080p video or up to 50 seconds of 2160p video.
•LDK Series and LDX Series camera control with Ethernet tally via Connect Gateway.
•999 macros with many ways to recall macros from the Control Panel.
•1,000 E-MEM registers with Define E-MEM for fine control in creation and editing of
effects.
•Optional M/E Previewer (ME-View) provides a method to check and monitor any input to an
M/E on a single output.
•SERIAL OR Ethernet VDCP control.
•Ethernet tally connection for integration with external tally systems.
•Optional RGB color correction on M/E buses and aux bus outputs.
•Source Rules:
•Links keyers to sources.
•Settings for On/Off/Left Alone on every M/E.
•Full look-ahead preview of rules.
•Hot-swappable, front/rear removable modules and power supplies.
•Optional multiple Multiviewer capability with 6 pre-configured layouts (maximum 16
panes per layout) with On-Air and Preview tally.
K-Frame XP Standard Frame
•Up to 192 inputs and 96 outputs.
•Up to 9 VPEs which can be used as MEs or Multiviewers
•Up to 9 M/Es, accessible across four suites—by using DoubleTake this may be increased
to 18 virtual M/Es.
•Every M/E has six keyers with standard keying modes including Chroma Key with two
frame stores per keyer.
•2D-DPMs with perspective on every keyer, so iDPMs can be utilized for more
complex effects.
•Up to 16 iDPMs (Integrated Digital Picture Manipulators), assigned as either floating
iDPMs on any keyer or within an eDPM at user’s discretion.
