Installation of the Kameleon HD module is a process of:

• Placing the dual-height KAM-HD-MULTI-UR or KAM-HD-MULTI-BR

rear module in a rear frame slot (no other rear modules can be used),

• Placing the media module in the corresponding front slot, and

• Cabling and terminating signal ports.

The Kameleon HD module can be plugged in and removed from a 2000 Series frame with power on. When power is applied to the module, LED indicators reflect the initialization process (see Power Up on page 16).

Note The Kameleon HD must be installed in a 2000T1DNG or 2000T3NG frame

(2000NET and 2000GEN module installed) for access to a frame reference.

Module Placement in the 2000 Frame

There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a Kameleon

RU frame to accommodate Kameleon HD modules. The

3 KAM-HD-MULTI module requires a dual height rear module, either the KAM-HD-MULTI-UR or the KAM-HD-MULTI-BR, that uses two rear module slots allowing up to 4 modules per 3 RU frame, 2 in a 1 RU frame. Dual-height modules can be placed in any rear slot as long as there is room in the frame.

Installation

To install a Kameleon HD module set in a 2000 Series frame:

1. Locate a vacant slot in the rear of the 3 RU frame (Figure 1) or the

2000T1DNG frame (Figure 2 on page 12).

Quick Start Procedure

Follow the procedure below for a quick start method configuration for the Kameleon HD module:

1. Go to the E-MEM web page (page 85) to select a preset audio

configuration if your audio needs match one of the four preset modes explained in Audio Preset Configurations on page 23, or set the audio configuration on the I/O Config web page (I/O Config Web Page on

page 43)

2. Go to the I/O Config web page (page 43) to name inputs and outputs.

3. Go to the System Config web page (page 47) to configure the input

video type (HD or SD), the video input rate, and the output timing source. Split Screen controls are also available on this page as well as on the HD Video Proc, SD Video Proc, and Color Correction web pages.

4. If not already connected, connect all input and output signals and

verify component and signal presence and condition on the Status web page (page 38).

5. Go to the Functional View web page (page 50) to use the block diagram

links to configure each function in turn. Video processing must be enabled on the System Config web page or with the Newton control panel before adjustments can be made.

Note Next, Functional View, and Back links are provided to help you navigate

through a logical configuration sequence.

6. Use the Slot Config web page (page 92) to assign Slot Configuration

information such as slot name and asset number. Also link to the 2000NET module web pages to enable and disable Frame Health and SNMP trap reporting.

7. Use E-MEM memory (page 85) to store or recall configurations as

necessary.

Note Always recall factory defaults after a software update.

8. Refer to Updating Software on page 97 for information on updating

software.

Configuration and Adjustments

Kameleon HD configuration and monitoring can be performed using a web browser GUI interface or a networked Newton Control Panel. This section provides an overview of each of these controls along with the configuration parameters available with each type of control device. It also provides an overview of the audio configurations available on this module.

Audio Overview

There are a number of audio paths through the KAM-HD-MULTI module that can be utilized depending on the type of audio application required. This section gives an overview of the overall audio system and describes the best uses of each of the audio paths and how to use the audio preset configurations.

Audio Input Sources

Embedded audio in the SD or HD video input stream is automatically demultiplexed and copied at the input of the module. Any or all of the eight demuxed audio streams can be selected to be input streams to the audio timing circuitry or bypass timing and processing completely, depending on the type of audio and the application, and be sent directly to the AES out puts. The embedded audio can also be passed to the video output of the module unmodified. Audio capabilities for different audio types are sum marized in Tab le 2 on page 20.

Configuration and Adjustments

Up to eight external AES audio inputs can be connected to the rear module, depending on the audio configuration set on the I/O Config web page (I/O

Config Web Page on page 43).

Eight audio sources, can be selected from the list of demuxed inputs and/or the external AES inputs to make up the audio that can be multiplexed into the output video stream or output to external AES outputs depending on the I/O configuration of the rear module and other module configuration setups.

The KAM-HD-MULTI module can use a rear module with either balanced or unbalanced AES audio connectors. Eight audio streams can be con nected in the following configurations set on the I/O Config web page:

Auto Track

Enabled

• 8 inputs/0 outputs – when the module is set for 8 inputs and no outputs, all eight audio connectors on the rear module become inputs for external AES audio.

• 4 inputs/4 outputs – when the module is set for 4 inputs and 4 outputs, 4 audio connectors become inputs for AES audio and 4 audio connectors become AES audio outputs on the rear module. Refer to the I/O Config web page for the specific rear module connector numbers.

• 0 inputs/8 outputs – when the module is set for 8 inputs and no outputs, all eight audio connectors on the rear module become inputs for external AES audio.

AES C/U/V Bits Pass Through

The control bits that are part of each subframe of AES data are defined as

(Channel status), U (User), and V (Valid) bits and the Z bit, which carries

C the start position of the AES block frame. For the control and status bits in the CUV positions of each audio channel, and the Z marker for each stream (pair of channels), there is a buffer on the module that handles the asyn chronous timebase slips between the input and output AES stream frequency.

This buffer will drop or repeat an entire block (occurring every 192 samples) of CUV bits when the two timebases cross a block boundary rather than drop or repeat individual bits from the block.

20 KAM-HD-MULTI—Instruction Manual

A control is provided on the AES Outputs web page for enabling or disabling the control bits in an AES signal called the AES C/U/V Bit Pass Through ( locally at the AES output of the module (Pass Through disabled) or taken from the AES stream coming from an audio input or demultiplexed from video (Pass Through enabled).

As shown in the Audio Capabilities Summary in Table 2 on page 20, enabling CUVZ pass through to preserve the original data is only permitted when audio is synchronous with the input video. Asynchronous sources (such as Dolby E and non-audio data) should have this control disabled. If the bits are becoming corrupted, this control can be used to diagnose whether the corruption is occurring before or after the KAM-HD-MULTI module.

Audio Paths

The main audio paths through the module are explained below and illustrated in the Functional View in Figure 11 on page 22. Refer to Tabl e 2 for an overview of audio types and how they can be utilized in these paths.

Newton Control Panel Configuration

A Newton Control Panel (hard or soft version) can be interfaced to the Kameleon 2000 Series frame over the local network. Control panel access offers the following considerations for module configuration and moni toring:

• Ability to separate system level tasks from operation ones, minimizing the potential for on-air mistakes.

• Ability to group modular products—regardless of their physical locations—into logical groups (channels) that you can easily manipulate with user-configured knobs.

• Update software for applicable modules and assign frame and panel IP addresses with the NetConfig Networking application.

• Recommended for real-time control of module configuration parameters, providing the fastest response time.

Note Not all module functions are available with the control panel, such as E-MEM

and factory default recalls. The available control panel controls for the module are listed in Table 4 on page 25.

Configuration and Adjustments

An example of the Newton Configurator is shown in Figure 12.

For example, with 1080i video and Minimum Delay Mode not selected, if 600 lines is entered by the user, that actual delay through the module will be anywhere from about 1 to 2 frames depending on the following condi tions:

a. If the module is in Input timing mode, the delay through the

module will be about 1.5 frames, and the Delay Wrap Position will be at about 50% of full scale.

b. If the module is in Frame Reference timing mode, the delay through

the module will be about 1.5 frames if the input video has zero delay with respect to the genlock reference frame position, and the Delay Wrap Position will be at about 50% of full scale. As this input video delay with respect to the genlock reference frame position is changed from -0.5 to +0.5 frame periods, the delay through the module will change from about 1 to 2 frame periods, with the Delay Wrap Position changing from about 0 to 100% of full scale.

In summary, the Electrical Length of the module can be estimated as the following:

• 1 frame minus 5 lines (Minimum Delay Mode not selected) + Delay

Wrap Position (% of full scale) X (1 frame period), or

• ~ 300 pixels (Minimum Delay Mode selected) + Delay Wrap Position

(% of full scale) X (1 frame period).

When the Restore upon Install box has been checked, the current configuration saved to this slot is saved as slot memory. When the current module is removed and another module of the same type and software version is installed, the configuration saved to the 2000NET module will be downloaded to the new module. The box must be checked before the current module with the saved configuration is removed.

If a different type of module is installed in this slot, a warning message will state that the original module type has been replaced with another module type. In this case, a configuration from the previous module.

Note Uncheck the Restore Upon Install button before downloading new software.

LED Reports Link

Select the LED Reports link to open the 2000NET LED Reporting web page. Normally, every module in the frame will report to the 2000NET module any Fault, Signal Loss, Reference Loss, or Config Error conditions. These conditions will be reflected by the status LEDs on the 2000NET module. Using this web page, any of these conditions can be disabled from being reported to the 2000NET module for each individual module in the frame.

SNMP Trap Reports Link

Select the SNMP Trap Reports link to open the 2000NET SNMP Reporting web page. This link will only be present when SNMP Agent software has been installed on the 2000NET module. This web page allows configura tion of what alarms and warnings that are reported to the SNMP management software.

The User input delay is specified as 1 full frame. plus one frame in pixels and lines. The Delay Wrap Position on the Frame Sync web page roughly indicates what fraction of that last frame of adjustable delay is being used. Because the input video delay with respect to genlock frame position can vary, the Delay Wrap Position with respect to User Input Delay will vary.

Full Frame Mode always has at least 1 frame minus 5 lines of electrical length.

The frame phase relationship between the SDI video stream and the analog reference signal is established according to SMPTE RP 168-2002. This defines the SDI video frame start occurring N pixel periods before the frame start of the analog video reference signal. N is defined for each video format in Tab le 6 .

Service

The Kameleon HD modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to demanding technical specifications. Circuit modules should not be ser

viced in the field unless directed otherwise by Customer Service.

If your module is not operating correctly, proceed as follows:

• Check frame and module power and signal present LEDs.

• Verify power at the voltage testpoints at the front of the module and

check Fuse F1 if no voltage is detected (Figure 60).

• Check for presence and quality of input signals.

• Verify that source equipment is operating correctly.

• Check cable connections.

Refer to Figure 9 on page 16 for the location of PWR LED and Tab le 1 on

page 16 for proper LED indications.

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.

Refer to the Contacting Grass Valley at the front of this document for the Grass Valley Customer Service Information number.
