Version 7.0.3
Compatibility
The Software is compatible for connected device types
• Kayenne XL control panel
• Kayenne XL menu panel
• Kayak control panel
• Kayak HD mainframes
if the software has been installed from the same Release CD.
To run the Kayenne XL control panel on a Kayak HD mainframe, the Soft-
ware License 'Kayenne XL Frame' must be installed at the Kayak HD main-
frame.
With V700 the Kayenne XL menu panel DS1220.xxx (1280x768Pix) replaces
the former KayakHD Sidepanel version DS0203.xxx (640X480 Pix).
The software version 7.0.3 does not support the following hardware
• Kayak DD-1 and Kayak DD-2 Production Switcher
• Kayak HDX Control Panels (former DD35/XtenDD Control Panels)
New Probel Router Driver
Because of a new Probel driver in V703 it is recommended to select the new
drivers (probel_ctrl_v703 repectively probel_syst_v703) after software instal-
lation in order to establish the connection to the router properly.
New Menu Panel Touch Screen Driver
With software release V703 the Sidepanel Menu Navigation Panel and -
Operation Panel run in a common window. Due to this change, the menu
panel can also run with the new version of touch screen driver
UniWinDriver V6.34.
Earlier software releases however still need the UniWinDriver V6.20. 
An update from V6.20 to V6.34 is not necessary.
Both versions are available on the software installation CD.
Input Timing
With introduction of AUX Transitions in software release V703, the input
timing range is reduced by 80 pixels. After software installation, the input
source timing must be checked again.

Version 7.0.3
New Features Using Kayak Control Panels
Aux Bus Transitions
AUX Bus Transition is a new feature introduced with software version
V703. It offers the possibity to execute up to two AUX-AUTO-MIX transi-
tions simultaneously from any Kayenne XL or Kayak control panel. The
AUX transition control settings Transition Mode and Transition Duration can
be enabled individually per AUX Bus of the video frame and are stored
with the frame's configuration settings.
Compared to the new Kayenne XL Control Panel the Kayak Control Panels
do not have the Direct Trans and Auto Trans buttons. Therfore AUX Transi-
tions can only be made when Direct Mode is activated in the Kayak‘s Aux
menu. If Auto Mode activated, Aux Transition can only be executed using
the menu buttons.
