The Emergency Bypass system provides basic switching capability should
a component in the Kalypso system fail or lose power. The Emergency
Bypass option uses an external router to perform the actual source selections. Operator control is provided by the Local Aux panel. If the Kalypso
system Main panel and/or the Video Processor frame fails, the Local Aux
subpanel, Emergency Bypass frame, and facility router can still provide
basic switching and keying capability. Note that the Emergency Bypass
option and the Kalypso system Router Interface are completely separate
features that do not interact with one another.
During normal operation, the Video Processor frame sends emergency
bypass configuration information to the Local Aux panel, where it is stored.
The Local Aux bus uses this copy of the information for controlling the
Emergency Bypass frame should the Video Processor frame fail.
Note
The Emergency Bypass option operates with Kalypso Classic, Kalypso Duo,
and Kalypso HD systems running in SD operating mode. This option does not
operate with Kalypso HD systems running in HD operating mode.
On 4-M/E Kalypso systems, the Emergency Bypass option operates with
Local Aux panel part number 610-0935-00.The previous version
(614098300) is not compatible. On 2-M/E Kalypso systems, the Emergency
Bypass option operates with Local Aux Processor Interface Board
671494502 and higher. If you do not have the correct revision of hardware,
contact Grass Valley Group Customer Service for an upgrade.

Emergency Bypass Frame
The 2 RU Emergency Bypass frame (Figure 2) fits a standard 19 in. (483
mm) equipment rack, and requires a 14 in. (356 mm) mounting depth.
Behind the front cover are ten slots for modules, plus one control slot and
two slots for power supplies.
CAUTION The Emergency Bypass frame front panel must remain in place during system
operation to provide proper cooling. If the panel is removed for an extended
period, modules can overheat and fail to operate correctly.
The forced-air system has a front cover that is equipped with three fans for
air circulation. The fan speed varies with the ambient frame temperature to
extend fan life and reduce noise when the frame is used in cooler configurations and environments. The fan speed control voltage is generated on
the Bypass Frame Monitor module and can be disabled so that the fan runs
at maximum speed only (see page 24).
The right rear of the frame (Figure 3) includes ten groups of ten connectors
(corresponding to the ten frame slots), which are used for input/output
functions for inserted modules. The standard Kalypso Emergency Bypass
option only uses two of these groups, typically slot 7 for the Relay Module
and slot 8 for the Keyer module.

The power/communication section at the left rear of the frame provides:
•RS-422 communications (the connector is labeled RS-232, but is RS-422
when the Bypass Frame Monitor module is installed),
•AC power plug connections, and
•SMPTE Alarm BNC (J101) for fault reporting (see below).
The Ethernet connector is not used with the Kalypso Emergency Bypass
option.
The J101 SMPTE Alarm connector retains the original 8900 system functionality when the Emergency Bypass version of the Frame Monitor
module is installed. Normal 8900 system faults (P/S failure, fan failure,
etc.) will trigger the alarm. Also the Bypass Keyer module triggers the
alarm upon some startup failures. The Bypass Relay module has no alarms.
See page 24 for more information.
Emergency Bypass Relay Module
The Bypass Relay module switches incoming video from normal to bypass
operation. The toggle switch must be in the center
remote activation of bypass operation. See page 27 for more information.
Emergency Bypass Keyer Module
The Bypass Keyer module keys up to two signals over incoming video, and
provides Program and Preview outputs. The keying can be set for shaped
or unshaped video (page 20). Also see page 25 for more information.

Emergency Bypass Frame Monitor Module
The Bypass Frame Monitor module provides system control, communications, and alarm reporting. See page 23 for more information.
Note
The Kalypso Emergency Bypass Frame Monitor module is not a standard
8900 Frame Monitor module. It is specifically designed for use with the
Kalypso Emergency Bypass system and RS-422 communications with the
Local Aux panel.
Frame Restrictions
•The Emergency Bypass frame hardware is designed to integrate closely
with the Kalypso system and is intended only for that purpose. Only
Emergency Bypass modules should be installed in the frame.
CAUTION Do not install any other types of 8900 series modules in the Emergency
Bypass frame.
•Browser based GUI control and monitoring normally associated with
the 8900 series is not available on the Emergency Bypass frame.
Panel Controls
The Kalypso Local Aux panel (or Local Aux subpanel on a 2-M/E system)
is used for Emergency Bypass operation (Figure 4).

Operation
The Emergency Bypass system operates with Kalypso Release 6.0 and
higher software.
