Frame and Electrical Installation

Kaleido-X (7RU) is a self-contained unit consisting of a frame, redundant power supplies, and various input and output cards. The monitor wall displays and external control devices complete the system.

Frame

The Kaleido-X (7RU) frame is 7 RU high. It incorporates an internal midplane for interconnecting the cards. Cards are installed from the front of the frame. Each card is associated with input and/or output connectors which are mounted on a connector panel. These connector panels are installed from the rear of the frame, in the same horizontal position as their associated card. The redundant power supplies are installed at the top of the frame.

The hinged front door can be opened to give access to the cards. A removable retaining bar across the front of the frame inside the door holds the cards securely in place.

The Kaleido-X (7RU) frame incorporates the following key elements:

•A rack-mountable mechanical framework

•A side-opening, removable door to cover and protect the front of the frame and the installed cards

•A midplane board that enables inter-card communication

•Slots for installing signal processing cards that plug into the midplane

•Mounting points for rear connector panels

•Redundant power supplies

•Ventilation

The front slots and rear panel connection points are color-coded according to the type of card that can be located in the slot. The extractor handles on the cards are color-coded to

Monitoring the Temperature of the Kaleido-X

For optimal performance, it is strongly recommended that you operate the Kaleido-X in an environment with an ambient temperature lower than 20 ºC (68 ºF).

IMPORTANT

When measuring the ambient room temperature, take your readings from directly in front of the Kaleido-X frame.

There are two factors that could influence airflow inside the frame:

•altitude

•airflow obstruction at the rear of the unit

Kaleido-X (7RU)

Hardware Description & Installation Manual

To monitor airflow efficiency, the Kaleido-X offers on-board probing that monitors the temperature in strategic areas. Use the table, below, to determine whether measured values exceed recommended values.

Monitored values via XAdmin	Temperature should not exceed

Input cards	75 ºC (167 ºF)

Output cards	83 ºC (181 ºF)

Keep in mind that these values are measured at the chip level and should be interpreted as relative indicators of the cards’ internal temperature and of the system’s overall ability to evacuate excess heat, in the context of your specific system configuration.

The vast majority of installations meet these requirements. In the case of multiviewers installed in an environment where cards are prone to exceed the recommended temperature, Grass Valley recommends replacing the standard frame cooling fan assembly with a special fan tray that will help improve the airflow within the equipment rack or cabinet.

The Adapted Fan Tray (part number KXA-FAN-TRAY-1) is compatible with both

Kaleido-X (7RU) frame models (part numbers KXA-FR7, and KXA-FR7-B). It ensures a vertical airflow (as opposed to the standard frame cooling fan assembly whose ventilation exhaust is directed horizontally), and can be mounted in four different configurations:

•Fan assembly on the left, facing up, attached to top side of tray (default configuration)

•Fan assembly on the left, facing down, attached to underside of tray

•Fan assembly on the right, facing down, attached to underside of tray

•Fan assembly on the right, facing up, attached to top side of tray

If measured values exceed recommended values, make the necessary corrections to your installation (please contact Grass Valley Technical Support for the recommended practice).

Power Supplies

The Kaleido-X is powered by dual redundant power supplies. These are installed at the top of the frame above the cards. The supplies are installed and removed from the front of the frame and are hot-swappable, so that a defective supply may be replaced without removing the Kaleido-X from service.

IMPORTANT

There are two different models of 7RU frames, and two models of power supply units. They are not interchangeable.

•If you have a frame model KXA-FR7-B then you need the KXA-PSU-7-B power supply and you must ensure the supply is grounded before connecting your system.

•If you have a frame model KXA-FR7 then you need the KXA-PSU-7 power supply.

4As the supply reaches its final position, the spring-loaded fastener at the left-hand side of the supply will engage the frame, securing the power supply in place. You may need to pull the fastener out before the supply can be pushed into its final position.

IMPORTANT

There are two different models of 7RU frames, and two models of power supplies.

If you have a frame model KXA-FR7-B (with the corresponding KXA-PSU-7-B power supply), you must ensure that a ground cable (not included) is connected between the frame and the rack before powering up the unit.

this stud and the rack

Operation

Separate AC connectors are provided for the two power supplies, and are located at the top right of the rear of the frame. Connect both power supplies to an appropriate power source using the supplied power cords.

•The top power socket is for PSU A.

•The bottom power socket is for PSU B.

CAUTION

There is no ON/OFF switch for the Kaleido-X (7RU).

The multiviewer will start as soon as the power is applied.

IMPORTANT

A fully populated Kaleido-X frame will draw nearly 15 amps of current.

Ensure that the circuit to which the frame is connected can handle that load, and that of any other connected devices.

Ventilation

The Kaleido-X frame is cooled by ventilation fans. Fans are located in key positions within the frame.

Kaleido-X (7RU)

Hardware Description & Installation Manual

Frame Cooling Fans

Primary ventilation for the cards installed in the frame is handled by six fans located at the top rear of the frame, behind the power supplies.

IMPORTANT

The Kaleido-X requires a constant flow of cooling air during operation. DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT IF THE FRAME COOLING FANS ARE NOT WORKING.

To replace a defective fan, see Replacing a Defective Cooling Fan, on page 33.

These fans draw air into the frame through a grille and filter in the front door, and exhaust it through the grate on the rear of the fan assembly.

Power Supply Cooling Fans

Each power supply has two (KXA-PSU-7) or three (KXA-PSU-7-B) fans located on the front of the supply (behind the extraction handle, in the case of the KXA-PSU-7 power supply).

Kaleido-X (7RU)

Hardware Description & Installation Manual

Kaleido-X Cards

KXO-Dual Output Cards

The KXO-Dual and KXO-Dual3 cards are output cards that can be installed in a Kaleido-X multiviewer. They are dual-head output cards, meaning that they support two independent outputs. These outputs, called Head 1 and Head 2, are each provided with a complete set of connectors.

The KXO-Dual and KXO-Dual3 are multi-function cards that perform a significant portion of the signal processing required to create the monitor wall output. They incorporate a mezzanine card mounted on the component side. Each output card is complemented by a rear panel (KXO-Dual-R) that holds all input and output connectors associated with the card.

Output cards can be installed in any of the four available OUTPUT slots inside a Kaleido-X frame. These slots are color-coded YELLOW on the front and rear panel of the frame.

A Kaleido-X frame must contain at least one output card. In systems with more cards, one card is considered the master card, and the others are slaves, from a processing point of view.

One card must always be present in either the Output C slot or the Output D / EXP. slot to ensure proper operation of the system.

•If the only card in the frame is in Output C, then it can only be an output card (KXODual3 or KXO-Dual).

•If the only card in the frame is in Output D / EXP., then it can be an output card (KXODual3 or KXO-Dual) or an expansion card (KXO-EXP).

•If both slots Output C and Output D / EXP. are occupied, the card in Output D / EXP. becomes the hardware master.

•If the card in Output D / EXP. is removed, the card in Output C will assume the hardware master role automatically.

In addition, there is always one output card designated as the software master (i.e. the card that has the frame’s IP address). In XAdmin, you can identify which output card is the current software master, by looking for the card with the word “master” next to its identifier (refer to the Administration and Servicing chapter, in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual, for more

Kaleido-X (7RU) Installation

KXO-Dual Output Cards

information). At startup, the software master role is assumed by the first output card found in the multiviewer, based on the following rules:

•For a simple Kaleido-X (7RU) system: first output card found, starting from Output D / EXP., then Output C, Output B, and finally Output A.

•For an expansion system: first output card found, starting from Frame A, Output C, B, and A, and then Frame B, Output C, B, and A, in this sequence.

•If at any time, the master card is removed, a new master is designated, based on the same rules.

•If a slave card is removed, the master remains unchanged.

•If an output card is added to a system that did not have any so far, the new output card becomes the master.

•If an output card is added to a system that already has at least one output card, the new card is a slave.

In the case of an expansion system’s initial configuration, there must be an output card in Output C of Frame A (see Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion, on page 35 for details). This card will start as the software master for the whole expansion system, but any other output card in the system may later become the master (for example, when you remove or reseat this card from Frame A Output C).

Notes

•Be careful to install the rear panel in the matching location at the rear of the frame.

•The card and its rear panel can be installed in any order.

•These cards are hot-swappable; it is not necessary to turn off the Kaleido-X when installing or replacing cards.

•If a software master card loses network connectivity while remaining seated in its slot, then none of the other cards will take over and the multiviewer will be unavailable on the network until the connectivity issue is resolved.

Every output card is connected to the other cards in the Kaleido-X frame through the frame’s internal midplane.

External connections to the card are made through connectors that are found in two locations:

•on the rear panel (see Rear Panel Connections below)

•on the front card edge (see Front Card-Edge Layout, on page 19)

HD-SDI Monitoring Output Option

The output cards provide support for HD-SDI monitoring output in 720p, 1080i or 1080p (available with the optional KXO-HDM mezzanine).

•KXO-Dual: If the KXO-HDM mezzanine is installed on a KXO-Dual card, the only HD-SDI output formats supported are 720p and 1080i.

Kaleido-X (7RU)

Hardware Description & Installation Manual

•KXO-Dual3: For a KXO-Dual3 card, the scan format is set with the associated displays’ configuration, in XEdit. Refer to the Rooms chapter, in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual, for details.

Note: To install a KXO-HDM mezzanine on an existing KXO-Dual or KXODual3 card, refer to the KXO-HDM Installation Instructions, for details. This document is available from Grass Valley’s support portal, and on the DVD that shipped with your system.

Note: The Kaleido-X’s RS-422 ports have an RJ-45 connector in order to preserve space on a busy panel. The RS-422 interface specifies a DE-9 connector, so if you are using this interface, you will require a DE-9-to-RJ-45 adapter. Grass Valley supplies two adapter models, correctly wired for this application: a straight adapter (part no. 1737-3000-102), and a crossover adapter (part no. 1792-3700-100).

The pinout for the RS-422 signal on the RJ-45 connector on the output cards’ rear panel, and the wiring diagram for an appropriate adapters, are shown here:
