Grass Valley Korona PNL-200 Switcher Surface

The Grass Valley Korona PNL-200 switcher surface is a compact, two-stripe (2 M/E) control panel designed for professional live video production environments, ideal for small to mid-range broadcast facilities, mobile units, and event venues. It offers powerful control options in a smaller physical footprint while leveraging the same intuitive and familiar operational workflow as larger Grass Valley Karrera and Kayenne panels, reducing training time for operators. The panel includes two 20-button source selection stripes and a dedicated system control area for device, macro, and aux bus management. A key feature is its integrated, innovative multitouch display menu system located in the transition area, which provides a shallow, easy-to-navigate interface with favorites and history functions to streamline complex operations.The PNL-200 connects to a separate K-Frame video processing engine (such as the K-Frame V-series or S-series) via a standard Ethernet cable, allowing the noisy processing unit to be located remotely for a quieter production environment at the panel position. The system is highly scalable, supporting various video formats including SD, HD, 3G, and 4K UHD via flexible software licensing and modular I/O board swaps. This design makes the PNL-200 a cost-effective and future-proof solution for productions that require high performance and flexibility without the physical space for a large control surface.
