Section 2 — Control Surface Installation

Karrera Menu on User PC Installation

The Karrera Menu application can be installed on a user PC, which can be configured with the Karrera network to provide a primary or additional control point to the Karrera system.

CAUTION Access to the user PC should be controlled when the Karrera system is in use,

to prevent accidental changes to Karrera system operations.

PC Requirements

The PC running the Karrera Menu application should have at least 2 GB RAM, a 2 GHz processor, 500 MB available hard disk space, 1280 x 1024 minimum screen resolution, and be running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 or Windows 7. The PC must also support 10Base-T or 100Base-T Ethernet and high-speed USB.

Macintosh Computer Operation

Macintosh computers with Intel processors can run Windows programs (including the Karrera Menu application), using the Apple computer Boot Camp mechanism (booting into the Windows OS partition), or by running a Virtual Machine (VM). VM operation allows running two different oper ating systems on the same computer simultaneously, with instantaneous switching between the two environments. Parallels and VMWare are two commercially available VM solutions for Mac. The Mac hardware and VM created must meet the PC requirements listed above.

In all cases, a Windows OS will need to be installed on the Mac (into the Boot Camp partition or as a VM), and the Windows environment will need to be configured (including I/O device access, IP addresses, etc.). When a working Windows environment exists on the Mac, the Grass Valley Switcher Installer program can be used to install the Karrera Menu appli cation into the Mac’s Windows environment, and the application can operate with a Karrera system the same as if it was running on a Windows PC.

Hardware Installation

Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable from the user PC to the Karrera network, either directly into an available port on the Karrera frame, or with a customer provided Ethernet switch, or indirectly via a properly configured network gateway. The PC’s IP address must be compatible with the Karrera system network.

CAUTION Do not install the Menu Panel into an enclosed space. Passive air movement

is required for cooling.

The Menu Panel is externally powered and does not have internal cooling fans. The electronics are convection cooled through perforations in the rear of the Menu Panel chassis. Mounting the panel free-standing with the artic ulated arm allows maximum air movement, and is the preferred installation method. If an alternative method is used, ensure that all vents are unobstructed and adequate airflow is available.

General Rack Mounting Instructions

Weight Distribution

Make sure that you mount the unit in the rack so that it is evenly balanced to prevent damage to the frame and to avoid creating a hazardous condi tion. K-Frame Video Processors require rear rack support.

Cooling Requirements

The maximum ambient temperature for a Karrera K-Frame chassis is 40degrees C (104-degrees F) monitored at the air intake. Installing the frame in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly together with other units could increase the maximum ambient temperature for this unit.

Section 3

Make sure you install the frame to allow for cooling airflow. When the unit is installed in a rack, ventilation openings should not be blocked or other wise covered. Air intake holes exist on the right side of the K-Frame Video Processor (as you face the frame front) and air exhaust holes are on the left.

Power Connections

When connecting the unit to the supply circuit be sure that the supply circuit of the rack is not overloaded. The unit must be well-grounded. The safety ground is accomplished via the third wire in the AC line cord(s). The rear panel ground lug is available for an optional ground.

All K-Frame Video Processor power supplies are 100V-240V AC +/-10% autorange, power factor corrected. Each power supply has its own line IEC line cord. Connecting each line cord to a separate AC circuit is recom mended.

K-Frame Power Supply Cooling

The top surface of the rear of the K-Frame Power Supply Frame has air holes and is slightly recessed, which permits air flow even if equipment is mounted in the rack directly above. These top recessed air holes must remain open for proper cooling. Ensure paper or other obstructions do not block these air holes.

K-Frame Power Supply AC Requirements

The K-Frame Power Supply Frame has provision to support up to three hot swappable power modules. These convert the AC line input to 48V DC for the Video Processor Frame. The cells for the three modules (referred to as left, center, right) are identical and any or all cells can have a module installed. Each cell has its own AC line cord. The supplies are power factor corrected and automatically accommodate low line (120V nominal) or high line (240V nominal). The power supply frame has a rating of 100 – 240 volts, although it is designed and tested for a range of 90 to 264 volts to accom modate under and over voltage conditions. A Compact K-Frame is supplied with one power module. A second power module can be fitted as a redundant power supply option. A Standard K-Frame is supplied with two power modules. A third power module can be fitted as a redundant (n+1) power supply option.

Supplied Power Cables

The K-Frame Power Supply Frame has IEC C19 sockets, instead of the more common C13 style, to accommodate potentially higher currents. Cables provided with K-Frame systems are matched to the destination country’s standard. For example, in the USA C19 to NEMA 5-20P cables are provided (

Figure 47).

K-Frame Power Supply Frame Installation

Low Line (120V) Operational Considerations

If low line (120V) operation is used (mostly in North America) three characteristics of the switcher should be kept in mind when provisioning AC power for the system, which will result in the most reliable system possible:

• Consider brown-out—Modern switching power supplies are constant power devices and as such, unlike resistive loads, the input current increases as the input voltage decreases.

• Consider power supply failure—If two or three power modules are present, they will load share. For instance, if two modules are fitted and the total AC line current is 10 amps, each of the two line cords will draw about 5 amps. If one supply fails, the other supply takes up the entire load. At this point, one line cord will draw 0 amps and the other cord will draw 10 amps.

• Consider future options—The total AC power consumption is significantly influenced by the number and type of hardware options installed. This includes the number of MEs, Inputs, Outputs, and Modular I/Os.

About High Line (208V-240V) Verses Low Line (120V) Operations

North American users usually have a choice to use low line (120 volts) or high line (208-240 volts) as the AC source. If Lo line is used, a Standard (13RU) K-Frame with all options installed and running at 120 volts will draw a total of approximately 12 amps from the line cords. At 100 volts, this increases to approximately 14 amps. This load will be evenly distributed among the line cords. However, if one or more power supplies go offline, it is possible for the entire 12 – 14 amps to be drawn by one line cord. For this reason, it is recommended that each line cord be serviced by a dedicated 20 amp circuit. If this circuit is shared by other loads, consider what will happen if the switcher line cord suddenly doubles (or triples) its current consumption.

One 20 amp circuit is adequate to service the two or three K-Frame line cords since the total current never exceeds 14 amps. The only disadvantage is the reduced redundancy using one branch circuit instead of multiple cir cuits. In a three phase WYE distribution system, additional protection can be achieved by using different phases for each of these circuits.

The possibility of drawing as much as 14 amps from a line cord explains the 20 amp (NEMA 5-20P) plug on the line cords supplied. The NEC in the US specifies that the ubiquitous 15 amp outlet be de-rated to 12 amps for con tinuous loads. A 20 amp outlet is needed for the rare case of a 14 amp load experienced during a fault condition.

Most of the above is not an issue if high line (240V) operation is used. Since AC line currents are approximately half of those at low line, exceeding the current rating of a circuit should not be a problem. In areas where there is

KARRERA K-FRAME — Installation & Service Manual 71

Page 72

Section 3 — Frames Installation

a choice between high line or low line operation, the user should consider the advantages and disadvantages of each power sourcing scheme.

Video Processor Door Removal Clearance

CAUTION The Video Processor front door must remain in place and closed during

normal system operation to maintain maximum cooling efficiency.

The K-Frame Video Processor door can be completely removed when installed in a rack immediately below conventional flush mounted rack-ear only equipment. If the K-Frame power supply is mounted directly above the K-Frame chassis, the chassis door can be completely removed after removing the power supply’s front screen. However, mounting a K-Frame in a rack immediately below other equipment that extends forward from the rack (for example, under another K-Frame chassis) may not provide enough clearance to remove the K-Frame door.

If mounted below equipment that extends forward from the rack, allow at least 24 mm (0.94 in.) of vertical clearance above the K-Frame to permit door removal. A flush design 1 RU blank filler panel can be used for clear ance, if required.

Overview

The K-Frame system uses Ethernet, serial, DVI, and USB connections. The K-Frame Video Processor has a built-in Ethernet switch. Tally outputs and GPI I/O (General Purpose Interface Input/Output) control are also avail able on the K-Frame (Figure 48).

Figure 48. K-Frame System Communications Overview

Section 4

KARRERA K-FRAME — Installation & Service Manual 73

CAUTION The facility network used for your K-Frame system (and other video produc-

tion equipment) should be kept separate from any external network, to prevent network traffic from adversely affecting K-Frame system operation.

Page 74

Section 4 — System Cabling

K-Frame Network Cabling

Network connections are required between the Karrera K-Frame Video Processor, Control Panel, and optional Menu Panel PC.

K-Frame Ethernet Switch

The Ethernet switch built into the K-Frame auto-detects speed and polarity, and is 10/100/1000 Mbps capable. Either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cabling can be used. Available Ethernet connectors may be con nected to the Facility LAN or other devices, as needed. However, should the K-Frame power down, the internal Ethernet switch will also power down, interrupting communication to devices connected to that Frame’s internal Ethernet switch. Only connect devices that are system related.

Suites and Control Surfaces

A K-Frame system can be divided into two suites. System resources (MEs, eDPMs, external devices, etc.) can be assigned to each suite, creating two switchers with one system. Each suite can be subdivided into two control surfaces. These control surfaces can be located anywhere on the network, permitting system control from different rooms, floors, or even different buildings. Two dedicated, customer supplied Ethernet switches may be required when multiple suites are being used (

Figure 49).

The Ethernet switches built into the K-Frame Video Processor and PCU auto-detect speed and polarity, and are 10/100/1000 Mbps capable. Either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cabling can be used. Available Ethernet connectors may be connected to the Facility LAN or other devices, as needed. However, should the Video Processor or PCU power down, the internal Ethernet switches will also power down, interrupting communica tion to devices connected to that K-Frame’s or PCU’s internal Ethernet switches. Only connect devices that are system related.

Suites and Control Surfaces

A K-Frame system can be divided into two suites. K-Frame Video Processor resources (MEs, eDPMs, external devices, etc.) can be assigned to each suite, creating two switchers with one K-Frame. Each suite can be sub divided into two control surfaces. Each control surface is intended for use

by a single operator. The GV Switcher Control Panel system flexibility permits locating these control surfaces in physically separate locations.

Two dedicated, customer supplied Ethernet switches may be required when multiple suites are being used (

Customer Supplied Ethernet Routers and Switches

Existing facility Ethernet switches can be used in conjunction with a K-Frame system. If connecting to a network area outside that used by the K-Frame system, use of an appropriately configured Ethernet Router is strongly advised. This reduces network traffic on the K-Frame network and keeps it isolated. Any Ethernet switches added specifically for use with the K-Frame system should be 1000 Mbps capable for the most efficient opera tion (see Ta bl e 1).

Video Cabling

Inputs

Outputs

All K-Frame system video inputs and outputs are configurable. For cabling configuration flexibility, each external primary input can be mapped to any control panel source select button, as can each internal video system source. Any K-Frame system video signal, such as ME program, preview, clean feed, or PGM/PST, can be mapped to any output bus to be sent to any output connector, or an output bus can act as an auxiliary bus.

Non-looping video inputs on the back of the Video Processor Frame are numbered 1 through 32 on each input module. Each accepts a 270 MHz,

1.485 Gb, or 3 Gb serial digital video signal. The number of inputs that are active depends on the number of ME boards installed in the chassis. Twenty four inputs are active for every board installed.

Paired outputs on the back of the Video Processor Frame are numbered 1 through 16 on each output module. Identical signals are present on each of the paired output connectors. All of the outputs carry the same video format, as determined by the standard selected and by the reference signals connected.

MatchDef and SetDef Format Conversion

K-Frame Video Processor modular I/O is available for MatchDef and SetDef signal conversion, or to increase the number of standard video inputs and outputs. This functionality is configurable in software. The 13RU Standard K-Frame can hold up to eight modules, and the 6-RU can hold up to four.

Each modular I/O module has four pairs of connectors, labeled IN 1-4 and OUT 1-4. The connectors with the same number on that module constitutes a configurable pair. Three different software settings are available for each pair of modular I/O connectors:

K-Frame System Video Timing and Delay

Reference Input

The K-Frame Video Processor has one analog looping reference input, which can be used with any SD/HD/3G standard. This reference input signal must have the same frame rate as the native operating standard of the K-Frame.

75-ohm termination of the looping input is required, either directly on the adjacent connector or at the end of a daisy chain looping to other equip ment.

Alternatively, any one of the K-Frame video inputs can also be used as reference in the respective standard.

K-Frame System Video Timing and Delay

The total delay of a video input to the switcher output can vary according to the relationship of the input to the switcher reference. The switcher will automatically autotime inputs that fall within an autotiming window. Inputs must be within this range to be properly timed at the output. The calculation of the actual video delay of a specific input is the Nominal

• For inputs entering the switcher in zero time with the reference, the total delay through the switcher is the Nominal Switcher Delay (A

μs).

• Inputs that reach the switcher at the latest point in the autotiming window (+B μs) will have a total delay that equals the time required for switcher processing. This value is the Minimum Switcher Delay (C μs).

• Inputs that reach the switcher at the earliest point in the autotiming window (-B μs) will have a total delay equal to the Nominal Switcher

82 KARRERA K-FRAME — Installation & Service Manual

Delay (A μs) plus the autotiming window range. This value is the Maximum Switcher Delay value (D μs).

Page 83

On K-Frame systems the autotiming window varies depending on the operating mode. The Timing Analyzer in the Video Settings Menu displays this autotiming information.

Note The maximum switcher delay is approximately one line of video.

This analyzer reports the timing position of a selected source relative to the Karrera K-Frame internal sync generator. The source is selected with the upper right that source is reported in lines and μs. Positive values indicate the source is later in time than the internal sync generator, and negative values indicate the source is earlier.

Karrera K-Frame systems have an autotiming window. Sources that fall within that window will be properly timed throughout the Karrera KFrame system, even if the signal is cascaded through multiple MEs.

Time Zones and the Autotiming Window

The Switcher Horizontal and Switcher Vertical soft knobs adjust the timing of the Karrera K-Framesystem relative to the incoming reference. These values are generally best left at zero.

Each ME has a fixed amount of delay from its input to output. To allow reentries to remain in time, ME timings are staggered such that the up stream ME outputs are earlier in time than down stream ME inputs. A 5 ME production switcher has six time zones to accommodate reentry through all the MEs to any output (

Figure 55). When all MEs are cascaded into each

other, the most up stream ME is in the earliest time zone. Aux buses and other outputs are always in the latest time zone. The overlapping range of all the autotimers is the published autotiming window for the switcher.

Any source fed to the switcher must be within the autotiming range of all six time zones. If not, the source will be in time on some MEs but not on others. As illustrated in the figure, a source centered in one time zone’s autotiming range can be too early or late for other switcher time zones.

If a signal falls just outside the autotiming window, that image will be shifted one line up or down. On SD systems a shift of one line could be easily seen, but on higher resolution systems the lines are so narrow that a single line shift may be difficult to observe.

ClipStore Cabling

Overview

The Karrera K-Frame system uses an Ethernet connection for communications with ClipStore (K2 Summit/Solo, Figure 48 on page 73). Connect an Ethernet cable from the Karrera K-Frame, either directly or through a dedicated Ethernet switch, to the bottom left (of the four) 100BT/1000BT Ethernet ports on the Summit/Solo backplane.

Video Processor Frame GPI/Tally Interface

The GPI (General Purpose Interface) and tally interface provides a means to transfer commands to and from the switcher to external customer pro vided equipment. A one wire per function parallel hardware relay mechanism is used. The nominal contact rating specification for each relay is 1A, 60 V.

Note A tally interface that communicates with third party devices over Ethernet is

also available. Refer to the separate Switcher Products Protocols Manual for specific information.

88 KARRERA K-FRAME — Installation & Service Manual

Page 89

GPI and Tally Connections

Each K-Frame Video Input module has a 50 pin female subminiature D connectors on the rear of the chassis, available for GPI and tally. Each connector has 8 GPI Inputs, 24 Tally Outputs, and 8 GPI Outputs. These connectors do not share any signals in common, other than ground reference and chassis ground. Because of this, some GPI/Tally interconnects may require external common connections between connectors, as explained below.

GPI Inputs

The purpose of the GPI In pins is to provide a stimulus from the customer's equipment to the switcher. A simple connection of two pins activates the corresponding input. An external relay contact or an open-collector output can be employed.

CAUTION When connecting to an open-collector output, there is no ground potential

isolation between the Video Processor Frame and controlling devices.

Since the circuit ground is led out of the device, cabling should be shielded for this kind of control. Non-shielded cables may cause EMC and/or ESD problems. To activate a GPI In you must provide switch closure between a particular GPI In pin and one of the two GPI In Com pins (1 and 34). Pins 1 and 34 of each connector is connected to ground ( tions that span across more than one connector, only one ground (common) connection is required.

Tally/GPI Outputs

Tally and GPI Outputs are arranged in groups of four. Each group has its own common connection. These commons can all be tied together, forming one common bus for all the outputs. Alternatively, multiple smaller commons can be constructed to interface with systems that need isolated common connections. This common or isolated bus scheme can extend across multiple connectors. For example, a situation may require two iso lated common buses, half of the commons form the first common bus and the other half form the second common bus.

Basic Configuration

Introduction

This section provides basic system configuration information for the Karrera K-Frame Video Production Center. Refer to the Kayenne/Karrera K- Frame Release Notes for information specific to your current software ver sion.

Configuration Steps

Karrera K-Frame basic system configuration includes the following steps:

Section 5

1. Power up the system.

2. Set IP addresses for your facility (if not using defaults). Node Settings

will also need to be configured for proper system communications (see

page 103).

3. If necessary, adjust Control Panel button and display illumination

(

4. If necessary, calibrate Control Panel lever arms and joystick (see

Maintenance section).

5. Define your basic Engineering Setups. Essential settings include:

• Source Definition (see page 119)

• Outputs (see page 126)

• Tally (see page 131)

6. Define a baseline User Setups (Panel Prefs and Suite Prefs). Important

settings include:

• Button Mapping (see page 163)

• Source Patching (see page 165)

• Default Keyframe (see page 165)

Karrera K-Frame Configuration Data

Current configuration settings reside on the Video Processor Frame (in the NV folder on the Compact Flash drive on the Processor Board). These set tings affect Karrera K-Frame system operation. When the Video Processor resets, these settings are read and enacted. Configuration settings can be saved to files and loaded back into the Karrera K-Frame system at a later time to restore those operational settings.

Karrera K-Frame configuration data falls into a few basic categories:

used (see

page 171).

Eng Setup

Engineering Setup defines basic Karrera K-Frame system functionality, including how it is cabled into a facility. Eng Setup applies to the entire Karrera K-Frame system and can affect both suites if a second suite has been configured. Engineering Setups are intended to be used and main tained by technical staff. These parameters are typically set once and seldom changed, unless the facility changes in some way (new devices installed, signals rerouted, etc.).

User Setups

User Setups can customize Karrera K-Frame system behavior for personal preferences, and to meet workflow requirements of a particular show. These settings are divided into

Panel Prefs affects how a specific Karrera K-Frame control surface operates

for an individual user, including Button Mapping, Source Colors, etc. These settings apply to a single control surface.

Suite Prefs controls more fundamental system behavior like Resource Allo-

cation, Source Patching, E-MEM Prefs, etc. These settings apply to all Karrera K-Frame control surfaces within that suite, and so can affect mul tiple operators. On Karrera K-Frame systems configured with multiple suites, each suite will has its own independent Suite Prefs settings.

Panel Prefs and Suite Prefs.

Network IPs and Node Settings

The Karrera K-Frame system employs Ethernet IP communications. IP addresses are set on the Video Processor Frame, Image Store, Control Panel,

and Menu Panel. The Karrera K-Frame Video Processor Frame maintains a list of IP nodes to enable communication with the other devices in the system. This list is stored separately from the Eng Setup and User Setups configuration files. This permits loading these configuration files without the danger of accidentally disrupting system communications.

One exception is Remote Aux Panel IP network settings, which are stored in the Karrera K-Frame Eng Setup configuration file, along with other Remote Aux Panel settings.

GV Switcher Menu Application

Note A brief description of the GV Switcher menu application is presented here.

Refer to the separate Karrera K-Frame User Manual for detailed information.

The GV Switcher menu application is used to configure your Karrera KFrame system. This application can run on a user supplied PC, using a mouse and keyboard, and can run on the optional Karrera K-Frame Touch Screen menu, allowing system operation by touching the screen.

Introduction

The GV Switcher system menus are context sensitive. They display different information and provide various types of controls depending on what area of the system is involved. A representative menu is shown in

Data Pads and Touch Buttons

Data pads are active areas on the screen that display a summary of the status of an object, and when clicked or touched bring up additional con trols and information for that object.

Touch buttons are labeled by their function and do not display data. Clicking or touching these buttons will immediately activate their function.

Touch buttons can control on/off functions, and have an indicator on the left side, or they can select from a group of parameters, and turn light blue
