Grass Valley Kahuna 9600 with Maverik 4 M/E Panel: Precision and Power for Premier Live Productions (USED with Warranty)
The Grass Valley Kahuna 9600 Production Switcher, combined with the versatile Maverik 4 M/E control surface, delivers unparalleled performance and flexibility for live television productions, including sports broadcasts, entertainment shows, and complex news operations.
Robust and Scalable Architecture
At its core, the Kahuna 9600 supports up to 6 full Mix/Effect (M/E) boards, enabling the creation of up to 24 M/Es with 48 keyers through Grass Valley’s innovative Make M/E technology. Each M/E boasts 8 keyers—comprising 4 SuperKeyers and 4 eKeys—with advanced chromakeying and 2.5D Digital Video Effects (DVE) capabilities. The integrated 3D DVE, offering up to 4 channels per board, facilitates sophisticated visual compositions and dynamic show branding.
Comprehensive Format Support
With FormatFusion4 technology, the Kahuna 9600 ensures seamless operation across various formats, including HD, 1080p, and 4K UHD. It provides real-time conversion and simultaneous support for Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) workflows (HLG, PQ, and S-Log3), along with wide colour gamut compatibility (BT.709 and BT.2020). This eliminates the need for external format converters, preserving signal integrity and reducing operational costs.
Extensive I/O and Color Correction
The switcher accommodates up to 120 inputs and 64 outputs, across 1080p/HD/SD formats. RGB color correction is available on all inputs and outputs, ensuring consistent and accurate color reproduction throughout the production chain.
Integrated ClipStore and Multiviewer
An internal ClipStore provides 20 Video and Key (V&K) outputs, supporting up to 16 minutes of uncompressed HD content. This feature enables quick transitions, animation playback, and macro recalls, enhancing the creative capabilities of live productions. Additionally, the built-in multiviewer offers flexible monitoring options with user-defined layouts, streamlining workflow efficiency.
Future-Ready Connectivity
Housed in a robust, hot-swappable 11RU mainframe, the Kahuna 9600 offers full IP and SDI I/O capabilities, including 12 Gb/s single-link SDI. It complies with SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2022 standards, ensuring compatibility with hybrid and future-ready broadcast infrastructures.
Maverik 4 M/E Control Panel: Customizable and Intuitive
The Maverik 4 M/E control panel is a modular, fully customizable interface designed to meet diverse production needs. It features tactile modules such as MAV JOY, MAV KEYPAD, and OLED-based macro triggers, providing technical directors with responsive, real-time control over transitions, keyers, DVE effects, audio faders, and multiview routing. Its network-connected design is compact enough for Outside Broadcast (OB) vans while scalable for the largest broadcast centres.
Conclusion
Together, the Grass Valley Kahuna 9600 and Maverik 4 M/E panel offer a comprehensive solution for high-level television program and sports event production. Their combined power, flexibility, and advanced features ensure broadcasters can deliver exceptional live content with confidence and creativity.
