2000GEN Genlock Timing Module
Introduction
The 2000GEN Genlock Timing Module locks to reference black burst and
provides clock and pulse timing references for the applicable modules in
Kameleon Series frames.
Key features of the 2000GEN module include:
• Support for NTSC, PAL-B reference input signal,
•A low-jitter 27 MHz reference clock generator,
•A generated common reference pulse stream containing:
•Reference field pulse,
• Frame bit,
•Color-frame bit,
•AES 5 frame sequence bits,
•Differential LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) lines that distribute signals to each front module slot,
•Reference blackburst locked with burst lock PLL as default, and
•Remote control and monitoring support.

Installation
Installation
Module Placement in the Frame
The 2000GEN module can be plugged in and removed from a Kameleon
Series frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED
indicators reflect the initialization process (see
Power Up
on page 8).
There are six cell locations in central control module section of the 3 RU
frame to accommodate network and reference modules. The 2000GEN
module plugs into Slot 15 (see Figure 1). The 1 RU frame has two central
control module slots. Slot 6 is used for the 2000GEN module.
Install the module by inserting it into the appropriate slot of the frame.
Verify that the module connector seats properly against the midplane
connector.

Cabling to the 2000GEN module is done on the BNCs on the rear of the
frame. Refer to Figure 2 for a detailed illustration of the rear connections
referenced below.
Reference Inputs
The 2000GEN will accept any of the video standards listed in the Input
specifications in Table 1 on page 17. Connect a video input to the Reference
BNC. In the 3 RU frame, terminate the looping connector if the signal is not
looped to other equipment.

Power-up Diagnostics Failure
Troubleshooting
The 2000GEN modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology
and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to
demanding technical specifications. For service other than changing the
on-board fuse, circuit modules should not be serviced in the field unless
otherwise directed by Customer Service.
If the module has not passed self-diagnostics, do not attempt to troubleshoot. Return the unit to Grass Valley (see Module Repair).
If your module is not operating correctly, proceed as follows:
•Check frame and module power. If power is not present, check the fuse
on the module as illustrated in Figure 11.
Module Repair
•Check for presence and quality of input signals.
•Verify that source equipment is operating correctly.
•Check cable connections.

If the module is still not operating correctly, replace it with a known good
spare and return the faulty module to a designated Grass Valley repair
depot. Call your Grass Valley representative for depot location.

Inputs and Outputs
The module input accepts a PAL-B or NTSC black-burst signal from the
Reference In BNC on the rear of the Kameleon frame. The reference signal
is first processed in a clamp and gain circuit. It is then digitized and locked
in a Burst Genlock circuit before entering output logic processing. Output
phase adjustments of up to one color frame can be made to the timing
signal through the remote monitoring GUI.

The module outputs a low-jitter 27 MHz reference clock which is distributed through differential LVDS (low voltage differential signal) lines to
each front module slot. It also generates a common reference pulse timing
stream containing a reference field pulse, frame bit, color-frame bit and
AES 5 sequence bits for distribution throughout the frame.
