Used Grass Valley GV Korona K-Frame

The Grass Valley GV Korona K-Frame is a production switcher engineered for fast, efficient and creative productions. The S-series Compact Frame sits in 6 RU and delivers 10-bit 4:2:2 video processing, with up to 6 M/Es, up to 8 floating DPMs and 4 full-function keyers per M/E including chromakey. Its multitouch panel and touchscreen in the transition area are designed for live production environments.

The S-series Compact Frame provides 32 standard inputs expandable to a maximum of 80, and 16 standard outputs expandable to a maximum of 48. This scalability makes it suitable for productions of varying scale without requiring a frame change, and the 10-bit 4:2:2 processing supports multiformat operation including 1080p and 4K.

The GV Korona K-Frame is compatible with all K-Frame series frames and can be deployed as a second control panel for large events. It can load show files created on Kayenne or Karrera systems, and its user interface is shared across the GV production switcher range, meaning operators familiar with Karrera or Kayenne can work across panels without separate retraining.

The GV Korona K-Frame is made by Grass Valley, a company with a pedigree in production switchers. Within the K-Frame series it occupies a competitively priced position, offering the same enterprise features and familiar interface found on larger Karrera systems but in a smaller 6 RU form factor, making it accessible for facilities that need full K-Frame capability without the footprint.

Confirm the frame size and RU configuration, the current input and output count, and whether an optional IP I/O board for SMPTE ST 2022-6 or 4K IP connectivity is fitted, as these affect capability and value. Check the condition of the multitouch panel surface and touchscreen. Used prices vary with configuration, age and included accessories, so compare the live listings on this page.
