Kayak HD Control Panels
Kayak HD Production Switcher systems use a control panel with inte-
grated menu display (color TFT with touch-screen). Three control panels
and two electronics frames provide seven unique Kayak HD systems.
Kayak HD 100C systems use a one M/E panel.
The control panel used in Kayak HD 150C, 200C, and 200 systems provides
one M/E plus program/preset, or two M/E (depending upon electronics
frame configuration).
The control panel used in Kayak HD 250C, 250, and 300 systems provides
two M/E plus program/preset, or three M/E (depending upon electronics
frame configuration).
