Setting a New Standard for Live Production

The Kalypso™ video production center puts everything you need for live video production right at your fingertips. Kalypso builds on the legendary Grass Valley™ switcher technology with an advanced Mix/Effects architecture that gives you unprecedented levels of keying and compositing with two powerful new features. With DoubleTake™ Split M/E technology you can divide the 4 keyers in each M/E between two separate background transitions. FlexiKey™ programmable clean-feed technology lets you create multi-client live programs using any combination of backgrounds and keys.

Kalypso gives you the run-time control you need without having to divert your attention from the switcher panel during production. Dynamic router source selection can be performed intuitively right from the panel. Groups of router destinations can be changed using Kalypso's R-MEM™ technology. Profile and VTR rolls can be done on a machine-by-machine basis or via a clip stack. Source memory allows assigned key sources to appear automatically based on what type of background source is selected.

Kalypso further integrates the production process with three or six channels of built-in digital effects and up to four channels of external effects control. In addition, a 100-frame still store with animation capability makes play out of animated logos quick and easy.
