FCC Emission Control

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equip­ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equip­ment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Grass Valley Group
can affect emission compliance and could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.

Canadian EMC Notice of Compliance

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regula­tions of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’emet pas de bruits radioélectriques
dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numeriques de la classe A
préscrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicte par le
ministère des Communications du Canada.

EN55022 Class A Warning

For products that comply with Class A. In a domestic environment this

User’s Guide,” governs laser products outside the United States. Europe
and member nations of the European Free trade Association fall under the
jurisdiction of the Comite European de Normalization Electrotechnique
(CENELEC).

For the CDRH: The radiant power is detected trough a 7 mm aperture at a
distance of 200 mm from the source focused through a lens with a focal
length of 100 mm.

For IEC compliance: The radiant power is detected trough a 7 mm aperture

Kameleon 2000 Series Frames

Introduction

Kameleon 2000T1 and 2000T3 frame models support Kameleon multifunc­tion and 2000 Series modules, as well as 8900 modules with the 2000A89
Adapter. These modules provide a wide range of analog and digital pro­cessing including signal distribution, format conversion, and HDTV up
and down conversion. They are designed to handle a wide variety of signal
types: HDTV, SDTV, Analog, AES, and Data. The line of Wideband Distri­bution Amplifiers provide an easy upgrade path from SD to HD video.

The high-bandwidth frames provide flexible I/O with each module type
installed. Front-installed modules are connected to rear I/O modules that
provide the connector type required for the application. To minimize signal
losses resulting from the higher speed HDTV signals, front-to-rear module
connections are direct rather than through the motherboard (refer to

Figure 2 on page 17).

The Kameleon 2000 Series features include:

•Wide bandwidth performance handling HDTV, SDTV, up and down
conversion, analog audio and video, and compressed data formats,

•Twelve media modules in a three rack unit (3 RU) 2000T3 frames or four
in the one rack unit (1 RU) 2000T1frames,

• Ethernet interface with 2000NET module installed,

•Genlock timing with 2000GEN module installed,

•Mid-plane design enabling flexible I/O,

•Hot-swappable power supplies,

• Sufficient cooling and power for any combination of modules and con­ditions,

•Compatibility with selected 8900 modules when using the 2000A89
adapter module, and

• Loop-through frame reference input on the 2000T3 Series frames.
