Grapple fixture details

From watching the video of the capture, I'm curious as to
how the
grapple fixture is actually deployed. Is it on the
(prelaunch)
underside of the hatch, and flips into position? Is it on
a "shelf"
seperate from the hatch and swings out?
Have any Gentle Readers here found good pictures showing
the mechanism?
Also, the two videos in the NASA gallery that show capture
keep
switching between different cameras. I hope that the
Gallery Keepers
will do something like the Shuttle Launch programming,
where there's a
video file of all the different cameras, each camera
getting a full run
before playing the next camera in sequence.
Youse guys gots nuttin', eh?

It is on the back side of a panel, which opens to reveal it
for capture. The panel closes for re-entry.
