Preface

About This Manual

This manual describes the features of the Kameleon multi-function
modules that are part of the Kameleon Media Processing System. As part
of this module family, it is subject to Safety and Regulatory Compliance
described in the Kameleon/2000 Series frame and power supply documen­tation (see the

Kameleon 2000 Series Frames Instruction Manual

).

KAM-ENC-2AES Kameleon Series Module

Introduction

This manual provides installation, operation and configuration informa­tion for the KAM-ENC-2AES Kameleon Series module.

The Kameleon KAM-ENC-2AES multifunction module provides broadcast
quality conversion of SD video to NTSC/PAL analog composite video
output. AES audio can be input to the module, processed and synchro­nized, and sent to two AES audio output channels.

This module features:

•SD conversion to broadcast quality NTSC/PAL analog video,

•Two 48 kHz AES digital audio streams input to the module providing
two balanced or unbalanced AES outputs,

•Audio and video delay, synchronization and processing amplifiers,

• Powerful line-by-line VBI processing including user-configuration of
active video lines for carrying data,

• 4x4 audio router for mapping audio channels to specific AES streams,

•Audio and video test generators,

•Hot swappable,

•5 user-programmable E-MEM registers,

• Save/load module configuration files to a networked PC,

•SNMP monitoring capability,

•Web browser GUI (graphical user interface), and

• Support for Newton Control System and NetConfig Network Configu­ration application.

Note

KAM-ENC-2AES Instruction Manual 7

KAM-ENC-2AES operation requires 2000NET Network Interface Module
hardware revision 01A1 or greater with software version 3.2.2 or greater.
Systems installed in the 2000T3N frame require the 2000FAN fan sled (refer
to Figure 3 on page 11).

Installation

Installation

1.

To install the Kameleon modules, perform the following steps:

2.

All Kameleon modules can be inserted and removed from a 2000 Series
Kameleon Frame with power on.

Place the KAM-AES-R passive rear module in a rear frame slot and
tighten the screws on each side of the rear module.

Cable the signal ports.

Note

Remove the front processing module before removing the rear I/O module.

System Requirements

For proper operation of the KAM-ENC-2AES modules, the frame must be
a 2000T1DNG or 2000T3NG which include the following components:

• 2000NET module (software version 3.2.2 or later recommended for full
functionality)

• 2000GEN module

•Dual 130W power supplies in the 2000T1DNG frame

• Single 240W power supply and 2000FAN in the 2000T3NG frame

Frame Capacity

The 1 RU 2000T1DNG (with dual 130W power supplies, 2000NET and
2000GEN modules) frames have no Kameleon module capacity limitations.

The 3 RU 2000T3NG (single 240W p/s, 2000FAN, 2000NET and 2000GEN
modules) frame can be fully populated with Kameleon modules when the
2000FAN fan sled and two power sleds are installed.

Table 1 provides the maximum Kameleon module count for frame types.

Module Placement in the 2000T3NG Kameleon Frame

There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a 3 RU frame to
accommodate 2000 and Kameleon Series media modules (audio/video
signal handling modules). The Kameleon media modules consist of a
two-module set with a front processing media module and a passive rear
module that can be plugged into any of the 12 frame slot pairs. The rear
modules provide the input and output interface connectors.

Installing the Front and Rear Modules

To install a KAM-ENC-2AES module set in the 2000 Series frame:

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

Note

The yellow COMM and CONF LEDs are used for the module location function
that is enabled using the 2000NET GUI. The module location function causes
these LEDs to repeatedly flash concurrently three times followed by an off
state of 900 ms duration (see Slot Configuration on page 61).

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 moni­toring:

•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.

Configuration and Adjustments

Note

An example of the Newton Configurator is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. Newton Configurator Example

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 3 on page 15.

System for installation, configuration, and operation information.

The Status web page for the KAM-ENC-2AES module (Figure 11 on

page 26) provides an overall indication of the health of the system and links

to web pages for the active components:

• Status Header – the same on all Kameleon configuration pages (see Web

Page Operations and Functional Elements on page 22),

•Color-coded communication status for each component and path,

• Summary of all fault/warning conditions, and

•Textual module status, front module, and submodule properties.

Color-coded Status Indicators and Links

Each box represents a Kameleon module or submodule as indicated in

Figure 11 on page 26. Arrows represent signal paths that may or may not

be monitored. These elements act as links when their function is active
(indicated by underlined function name).

Color code:

•Green = Pass – operating as expected.

•Yellow = Warning – signal is absent, has errors, or is misconfigured.

•Red = Fault – a component has failed.

•Grey = Not monitored.

•White = Not present.

Status/Front Module Properties

The Status/Front Module properties in the footer provide a textual
summary of the color-coded module status. Front module properties
provide hardware, firmware, software identification, and asset tag number
for the KAM-ENC-2AES module. Presence and status of any submodules
is also reported.

I/O mode is either static read-only or an operational Input/Output selec­tion (determined by the rear module used).

Signal Name

Enter a signal name (up to 15 characters) for each operational

Service

The Kameleon 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 ser­viced in the field except to check and replace fuses.

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

•Check frame and module power at the front edge testpoints (Figure 42).

• If power is not present, check the fuse on the +24 V input (Figure 42).

•Check for presence and quality of input signals.

•Verify that source equipment is operating correctly.

•Check cable connections.
