“In order to seamlessly provide fun and engaging programming to millions of homes across the U.S., QVC leverages the industry’s most innovative technologies,” said Joe Micucci, vice president, broadcast operations at QVC. “We chose the Kayenne K-Frame switcher because it provides the flexibility, fast setup, simple menu structure and intuitive layout required by QVC’s live broadcast 24 hours a day, 364 days of the year.”

Kayenne K-Frame Video Production Center delivers the highest level of performance available to live productions with innovative features and complete upgradeability. The modular Kayenne control panel can be mounted flat or in a banked curve, offering operators the perfect ergonomic work surface. The system’s video processing engine, K-Frame, delivers full multiformat support, including 1080p level A and B and 4K. When needed, Kayenne K-Frame can adapt to offer up to 192 inputs, 96 outputs and up to nine M/Es with six full keyers in every M/E.
