Planning and Installation Manual 31
KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher
5.5 Functional Overview
5.5.1 Video Signal Flow
The basic system architecture (Figure 5) of the KayakDD system has been designed
for operational flexibility. For example, all the outputs from the M/E are routed back to
the video crosspoint matrix, making all these signals accessible to the entire system.
The 32 video inputs to the Video Processor frame can be mapped to any of the 24
crosspoint buttons.
Internally generated white, black and three color backgrounds are also available
sources, as are the four RAMRecorder outputs. This source-to-button mapping is done
through the touch screen menu and can be stored as a user profile for any number of
individual users. Button mapping is the same on all buses.
The system has a full M/E with PGM/PST being a full M/E as well.
The selected video on each bus is deserialized and reclocked before entering the
video processing circuitry. Video processing is available for each separate M/E
background, Key, and Utility bus, providing built-in solarization, posterization and
mosaic effects. In addition, contrast, brightness, and hue can be adjusted on a bus-bybus basis.
Each M/E has four full-function keyers with optional internal Digital Picture Manipulator
effects. Each keyer has access to its own wipe generator as well as a pair of standard
floating chroma keyers which may be assigned to any keyers in the system. Two
complex wipe generators serve each M/E, providing a wide range of wipe choices with
modulation, rotation and multiplication of each one. Wipe signals can also be taken
from the Utility bus on the M/E.
The outputs from M/E Program and Preview are fed to dedicated BNCs and sent back
to the crosspoint circuitry for the Auxiliary buses as well as the clean feed output.
The 10 Aux bus outputs can be utilized in a number of ways. Every Aux bus provides
individually adjustable safe area and crosshair (center cross) capability. Each AUX bus
has a line synchronizer.

• The maximum ambient temperature for this unit is 40°C (104°F).
• Installing the unit in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, together with other units
could increase the maximum ambient for this unit.
• If the unit is installed in a rack, no ventilation openings should be blocked or
otherwise covered. Ensure a sufficient amount of airflow. Airflow through KayakDD
is from the left side of the frame to the right side of the frame.
• Mounting of the unit in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• When connecting the unit to the supply circuit be sure that the supply circuit of the
rack is not overloaded. For ratings see chapter Technical Specifications.
• The unit must be grounded to a good earth ground using a wire as specified by the
local electrical code. This wire is attached to the protective earth connector on the
rear.
• When connecting the unit in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly together with
other units be sure that the summation of the touch (leakage) currents for each
power supply circuit is not higher than 3.5 mA . In this case the rack must be
permanently connected with an earth terminal. Earth connection is essential before
connecting supply voltage! For details see chapter Technical Specifications.

Figure 15 KayakDD-2 Standard Cabling
Planning and Installation Manual 53
KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher
6.7.2 Control Cabling
A simple KayakDD system consisting of a Control Panel and Video Processor frame
uses point-to-point connections and does not require connection to an external
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).
The KayakDD system uses Ethernet, serial, parallel, and USB connections.
Tally and GPI/O control are also available.
6.7.2.1 Mouse and Keyboard Connection
A standard PS/2 mouse and keyboard can be installed to the rear of the control panel
if desired (see figure above). Be sure to power down before installing either the mouse
or keyboard.
6.7.2.2 LAN Cable Polarity
The point-to-point connections between the Control Panel and the Video Processor
frame, require that the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) pairs in the Ethernet cables be
swapped. This is normally achieved with a special peer-to-peer (crossover) LAN cable
or an Uplink port on the switch or hub.
NOTE!
The LAN cable supplied with the KayakDD system is a cross-wire cable!
If no communication can be established (either LAN Link LED is off), a possible
cause may be incorrect cable polarity.
6.7.2.3 LAN Requirements
A simple KayakDD system uses point-to-point connections and does not require an
external Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).
A KayakDD system requires a LAN when components in addition to a Control Panel,
and Video Processor frame are connected or when external network access to a file
system is desired. An appropriately sized Ethernet switch will be required.
CAUTION!
Ethernet hub or switch are necessary to exceed maximum cable runs. An existing
facility Ethernet switch (not hub) can support KayakDD if an adequate number of ports
are available. Keep your facility network and technical network separate in order to
avoid network traffic negatively affecting KayakDD system operation.
Refer to table below for Ethernet specifications.
54 Planning and Installation Manual
KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher
NOTE! All Ethernet components must be supplied by the customer.

remote monitoring capability.
6.7.2.4 Ethernet Switches and Hubs
KayakDD optional components rely primarily on Ethernet switches for LAN
interconnects. A hub is required only if there is a need to exceed 328 ft (100 m)
between a Control Panel and Video Processor frame. If a hub is used, connect the hub
to the switch via the Uplink port, or through a peer-to-peer crossover cable.
6.7.2.5 Factory Settings
The default factory setting for the IP address is
• 192.168.0.70 for the video processor frame
• 192.168.0.73 for the control panel
The Device Setup menu allows to change the IP address. It is only allowed to change
the last octet of the IP address (to accommodate several KayakDDs on the same
network).
IMPORTANT NOTE!
In order to integrate KayakDD devices into an existing network, ask the local
network administrator for the subnet mask of the network. Before changing IP
addresses always set the subnet masks of the KayakDD devices to the mask of
the local network. If all changes are made and a frame is not visible to the panel,
press ‘Rescan’ in the “Device Control” menu of the panel.
Planning and Installation Manual 55
KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher
6.7.3 Video
Different video and control wiring configurations may be used to meet individual facility
requirements. All KayakDD-2 system video inputs and AUX outputs are configurable.
For cabling configuration flexibility, each input can be mapped to any KayakDD-2 panel
source select button, and any KayakDD-2 system video signal can be mapped to any
AUX output connectors.
Program and Preview bus outputs for the M/E have dedicated output connectors as
well.
6.7.3.1 Inputs
Physical inputs are the actual BNC connectors that feed a signal into KayakDD-2.
These non-looping inputs on the back of the Video Processor frame are numbered 1
through 16. Each receives a 270 MHz serial digital video signal. All video inputs are
software configurable, and each input can be mapped to any KayakDD-2 panel source
select button.
6.7.3.2 Outputs
The KayakDD-2 frame provides dedicated program and preview video output
connectors for the M/E. The main program output signal is available on two BNC
connectors. All other outputs are available on one BNC connector only.
Any KayakDD-2 video source can be routed to any Aux bus output (1 through 10).
6.7.3.3 Reference Input
The looping reference input accepts analog 525 or 625 composite video. Burst is not
required, but typically facility reference color black is used. The timing of all switcher
inputs and outputs are referenced to this signal.
KayakDD-2 can auto-sense whether the reference is 525 or 625 and can change the
internal standard accordingly.
56 Planning and Installation Manual
6.7.4 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 by a specified amount (± B µs). Inputs must be within this timing range
to be properly timed at the output. A timing diagram for illustrating the input autotiming
window and various switcher delay values is provided in figure below.
KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher
Figure 16 Timing and Delay
NOTE!
For both 525 and 625 switcher operation, the approximate maximum switcher delay is
one line of video. Exception is the use of a Digital Picture Manipulator. The signal
going through the Digital Pictures Manipulator is delayed by one frame.
• For inputs entering the switcher in zero time with the reference, the total delay
through the switcher is expressed as 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 length of switcher processing. This
value is expressed as the Minimum Switcher Delay (C µs).
• Inputs that reach the switcher at the earliest point in the autotiming window will
have a total delay equal to the Nominal Switcher Delay (A µs) plus the autotiming
value (– B µs). This value is expressed by the Maximum Switcher Delay value (D
µs).
Delay values for a KayakDD system are given in table below

KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher
6.7.5 GPI / Tally Outputs
The KayakDD-2 GPI / Tally system has 32 universal relays that interface source tally
and GPI Output information to an external system through the Tally Port connector,
J43. The channels can be assigned in the Setup menu.
Tallies are a source attribute and relays are automatically assigned to a source when
source definitions are defined in the Setup menu during initial system configuration.
The nominal rating specification for each relay is 2 A, 30 V.
6.7.6 GPI Inputs
A simple connection between the two connectors activates the corresponding input.
This kind of control is suitable for a connection to a relay contact or to an opencollector output.
ATTENTION!
When connecting to an open-collector output, there is no ground potential isolation
between the Video Processor frame and controlling devices. The internal optocouplers are supplied separate (galvanically insulated) voltage (12V fan supply).
Since the circuit ground is led out of the device, the cabling has to be shielded for this
kind of control. Non-shielded cables may cause EMC and/or ESD problems!
6.7.7 Tally Adapter
A 50pin male sub-d connector (the counterpart of the Frame-Tally connector) is part of
the delivered accessories. Please purchased a 50pol ribbon cable with desired length
and mount the connector by pressing with a recommended tool.

7.4.5 CPLD Update Trouble Shooting
7.4.5.1 Inconsistent EEPROM Data
When the software installation process checks whether an CPLD update is necessary
or not, it initiates a plausibility check of the EEPROM data of each hardware board. If
the EEPROM data is not plausible the user is notified and the update will not be
initiated.
KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher
Figure 30 Error Message during CPLD update
The CPLD update can be performed manually at any time. An update even tries to
correct inconsistent EEPROM data. Nevertheless an manually CPLD update should
always be done by qualified service engineers or experienced users only!
7.4.5.2 Wrong Position of CPLD Program Switch
There is a switch (ETX. BSCAN) on each hardware board that controls external or
internal programming of the CPLD. If this switch is set to ON the CPLD can’t be
updated by the software installation process. In this case the user is informed by an
error message (“CPLD update failed: validating chain failed, check test switch
(EXT. BSCAN)”) and the update process will be terminated. If this happens contact
your service engineers.
To bring the system back to normal operation mode, perform a reset.
