Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual 31

Section 1 — System Overview

Video Signal Flow

The basic video signal flow (Figure 11 on page 33) of the Kayak HD 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 video inputs to the Video Processor frame can be mapped to any of the
crosspoint buttons.

Internally generated white, black and three color backgrounds are also
available sources, as are the six RAMRecorder outputs. This source-to­button mapping is performed 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 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. In addition, contrast,
brightness, and hue can be adjusted on a bus-by-bus basis.

Each M/E has four full-function keyers with optional internal Digital
Picture Manipulator effects. Each keyer has access to its own wipe gener
ator as well as a pair of standard flexible 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, rota
tion and multiplication of each one. Wipe signals can also be taken from the
two Utility buses on the M/E.

The outputs from M/E Program, Preview, and clean feed are fed back to the
crosspoint circuitry for the selection on the Auxiliary buses as well as the
clean feed output.

The 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 is timed to the reference.

GPI / Tally Connections

The Kayak HD GPI / Tally system has universal relays that interface source
tally and GPI Output information to an external system through the Tally
Port connectors. The channels can be assigned in the Setup menu.

Tallies are a source attribute and relays can be assigned to a source when
source definitions are defined in the Setup menu during initial system con
figuration. The nominal rating specification for each relay is 1A, 60 V.

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 connection
is used.

Connectors and pins are provided to create a mating connector.

60 Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual

Kayak HD GPI and Tally Interface

The Kayak HD is highly modular and configurable. This document
describes various possibilities for tally interconnections.

There are two 50 pin female subminiature 'D' connectors on the rear of the
4 RU Kayak HD frame and four connectors on the rear of the 8 RU Kayak
HD frame. Each connector is activated by the presence of a Mix/Effects
module installed in the frame. A one M/E switcher (4 RU or 8 RU frame)
activates only the first connector. Two M/Yes activate two connectors, and
so forth, up to four connectors activated by a four M/E system.

GPI inputs and outputs are assigned as follows:

• GPI in 1 - 8 and GPI/Tally out 1 - 32 routed to the first connector.

• GPI in 9 - 16 and GPI/Tally out 33 - 64 routed to the second connector.

• GPI in 17 - 24 and GPI/Tally out 65 - 96 routed to the third connector (8
RU frame only).

• GPI in 25 - 32 and GPI/Tally out 97 - 128 routed to the fourth connector
(8 RU frame only).

GPI / Tally Connections

GPI Inputs

For pinouts of these connectors refer to the listings in:

• 4 RU and 8RU Frame Tally (GPI In 1-8, GPI Out 1-32) on page 66

• 4 RU and 8RU Frame Tally (GPI In 9-16, GPI Out 33-64) on page 67

• 8RU Frame Tally (GPI In 17-24, GPI Out 65-96) on page 68

• 8RU Frame Tally (GPI In 25-32, GPI Out 97-128) on page 69

These four 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 connec
tors, as explained below.

The purpose of the GPI In pins is to provide a stimulus from the customer's
equipment to the switcher.

A simple connection to the two connectors (or four in the case of the 8 RU
frame) activates the corresponding input. This kind of control is suitable for
a connection to a relay contact or to an open-collector output.

-

WARNING 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, the cabling has to be
shielded for this kind of control. Non-shielded cables may cause EMC
and/or ESD problems.

Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual 61

Section 2 — Installation

GPI Input Structure

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 (Pins 1 and 34).

Pins 1 and 34 of each of the two (four) connectors are connected to ground.
For applications that span across more than one connector, only one
ground (common) connection is required.

62 Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual

8448_08r0

The function of each GPI input is user assignable. The activation of the
function can be programmed to occur on the leading edge or the trailing
edge of the closure, or both edges. The switch must be closed for at least one
field.

Refer to the Install Menus section of the Kayak HD User Manual for details
on setting the input signal activating edge.

Refer to the Configuration Menu section of the Kayak HD User Manual for
details on setting the function of a GPI input.

GPI / Tally Outputs

There is a great deal of flexibility in the hardware and programmability of
the GPI / Tally outputs.

Outputs are arranged in groups of four. Each group has its own common
connection. These are labeled GPI_OUT_COM_A through
GPI_OUT_COM_H for the first connector (corresponding to GPI /Tally
OUTs 1 - 32). These commons can all be tied together, forming one common
bus for all 32 outputs. Alternatively, multiple smaller commons can be con
structed to interface with systems that need isolated common connections.
This common or isolated bus scheme can extend across multiple connec
tors. For example, a 4 M/E system could have all commons of all connec­tors tied together. All 128 relay closures will connect to one common bus.
Another case may require two isolated common buses - half of the
commons form the first common bus and the other half form the second
common bus.

GPI / Tally Connections

-

-

The example in Figure 36 on page 64 shows two common buses. The first
four outputs (COMMON A) have the common bus tied to ground. This
drives a logic system. The last outputs (COMMON G & COMMON H)
have the common bus tied to +12 volts. This drives a tally lamp system.

GPI / Tally Connections

Although the diagram above implies mechanical relays, the actual outputs
are implemented with solid state relays. Interface specifications are:

Maximum current for any one output: 1 amp AC/DC

Maximum current for any one common: 2 amp AC/DC.

Maximum off (open circuit) voltage between output and common: 60
Vol ts p ea k.

Maximum voltage between any point and ground (chassis): 60 Volts
peak.

The solid state relays are bidirectional; either polarity voltage can be
applied. If the switcher GPI / Tally outputs are used to drive downstream
DC relays, be sure to install diodes across the relay coils to clamp inductive
spikes. Shielded cable is recommended for the connection from the
switcher to the user tally system.

Each output can be programmed for function, steady state or pulse, output
polarity, and pulse duration.

Refer to the Install Menus section of the Kayak HD User Manual for details
on setting the characteristics of the output signal (steady state, polarity,
pulse duration, etc.).

Refer to the Configuration Menu section of the Kayak HD User Manual for
details on setting the function of a GPO / Tally output (tally, auto trans,
recall register, and so forth).

Cabling Overview

The Kayak HD system uses Ethernet, serial, and USB connections. Tally
and GPI I/O (General Purpose Interface Input/Output) control are also
available. A simple Kayak HD system consisting of a Control Panel and
Video Processor frame does not require connection to an external Ethernet
Local Area Network (LAN). The video processor frame incorporates an
Ethernet switch for this purpose.

There are two AC power supply inputs to the frame. If the redundant
power supply option is installed, power can be provided by one or both
line cords to two different AC circuits.

Ethernet Switches and Hubs

A Kayak HD system requires a LAN when components other than 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 may be required. An existing facility Ethernet switch (not hub) can
support Kayak HD if an adequate number of ports are available.

Section 2 — Installation

A hub can be used 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.

Ta bl e 7 details Ethernet specifications. All Ethernet components are to be

supplied by the customer except the CAT5 crossover cable provided

Note The supplied crossover cable works with the Kayak HD switcher because the

frame has an auto-sensing Ethernet switch.

CAUTION An existing facility Ethernet switch (not hub) can support Kayak HD if an ade-

quate number of ports are available. Keep your facility network and technical
network separate in order to avoid network traffic negatively affecting Kayak
HD system operation.

The Kayak HD backplane has four RJ45 Ethernet connectors for its built-in
Ethernet switch, each capable of 10/100/1000 Mbps. All Ethernet connec
tors share the same speed- and direction-sensing features.

One Ethernet connector must connect to the Control Panel. It may go
through a switch to make the Control Panel connection, but at least one
connector must be connected from the Frame to the Control Panel
somehow.

One Ethernet connector may be connected to the Facility LAN if desired.
The other two Ethernet connectors may be connected to other devices if
needed.

-

72 Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual

Note If you do connect these extra Ethernet connectors to other devices, please

note that these other devices will not communicate if the switcher frame is
turned off for any reason. For that reason, it is preferable to connect Ethernet
ports coming from the switcher only to other devices that are switcher­related.

Factory Network 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 you to change the IP address. It is only
allowed to change the last octet of the IP address (to accommodate Kayak
HDs on the same network).

For complete instructions on changing network settings please refer to

Network Settings on page 90 and to Network Settings - Telnet on page 92.

Video Cabling for all Kayak HD Switchers

Note In order to integrate Kayak HD 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 Kayak HD 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.

Video Cabling for all Kayak HD Switchers

All Kayak HD system video inputs and outputs are configurable. For
cabling configuration flexibility, each external primary input can be
mapped to any Kayak HD panel source select button, as can each internal
video system source. Any Kayak HD system video signal, such as M/E
Program (PGM), Preset (PST), clean feed (CLNFD), or Preview (PVW) can
be mapped to any output bus to be accessed on a specific connector, or an
output bus can act as an AUX bus.

Inputs

Non-looping video inputs on the back of the Video Processor frame are
numbered 1 through 24 and 25 through 48 on the 4 RU frame. Each accepts
a 270 MHz serial digital video signal, or 1.485 Gb. The number of inputs
that are active depends on the number of full mix/effects (or I/O Expan
sion modules when available) that are installed in the chassis. There are 24
inputs active for every mix/effects module and expansion module
installed.

-

Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual 73

Section 2 — Installation

Outputs

Reference Input

The outputs on the back of the Video Processor frame are numbered 1
through 12 and 13 through 24 on the 4RU frame. All of the outputs carry
the same video format, as determined by standard selected and by the ref
erence signals connected. The number of outputs that are active depends
on the number of full mix/effects (or I/O Expansion modules when avail
able) installed in the chassis. There are 12 outputs active for every
mix/effects and expansion module installed.

There are two separate, looping reference input pairs. The upper pair
accepts analog 525 or 625 composite video. Burst is not required, but typi
cally facility reference color black is used. Kayak HD can auto-sense
whether the reference is 525 or 625 and can change the internal standard
accordingly.

The lower looping reference input pair is for HD production and uses
analog tri-level sync.

-

-

-

75-ohm termination of one of each of these looping inputs is required,
either directly on the adjacent connector or at the end of a daisy chain
looping to other equipment.

Any one of the SDI inputs can also be used as reference in the respective
standard.

Reference source which can be either the SD Analog Reference or any
one of the serial digital video inputs to the switcher. The digital input
must match the video standard that the switcher is running (the one
you selected from the

Video Std. data pad).

• The third button is in the HD Ref Inp. data pad (shown as Analog in

Figure 40). This button is used to select the HD (High Definition) Refer-

There are two displays showing the Current Standard and External Refer­ence settings that have been selected for your switcher:

• The currently selected video standard is reported in the Current Std. field
in the middle of the

Genlock menu.

• The incoming reference signal rate is reported in the Ext. Ref. field (to the
right of the

Current Std. field).

If you are using Auto Detect the video standard you have selected persists
until a different video standard is detected and locked for use by the
switcher.

If the reference signal is temporarily lost, the Kayak system will continue
using the previous reference standard and a

KHD_Install_Genlock_LegalTiming

Select SF Mode

The Kayak HD system supports 1080sf (segmented frame) video formats at

23.9, 24, 25 and 30 fps. Segmented frame video captures a frame of video

progressively, but displays the frame as two interlaced fields.

This can give a slightly different look to the resulting video playback. Inter­laced and segmented frame video requires different internal system video
processing techniques. These include changes to crosspoint cut points,
wipe pattern geometry, and interpolation.

When using Auto Detect the Kayak system automatically detects the line and
frame rate of the incoming video reference signal and reports its sync refer
ence status on the menu. However, the system cannot always directly
determine whether the incoming video is interlaced or segmented frame. If
HD Auto Detect is selected as the video standard you must set the SF Mode
manually for some rates.

Because 1080-24/23.9 fps video is only produced in segmented frame, the
system always uses segmented frame processing whenever it operates with
a 1080-24/23.9 fps sync signal.

Adjust Internal System Timing

The Genlock Phase Knob (located to the right of the menu screen)
adjusts/moves the switcher’s internal system timing with respect to the
selected reference. Adjusting the Phase affects the phase of all inputs and
outputs of the switcher with respect to the external reference.

Grass Valley recommends that you use the AUX1 bus to check the video
timing of all inputs. This compares the video source selected on the AUX1
bus to the switcher’s internal system timing.

One method to determine the correct system timing phase is to select a
source on the AUX1 bus and then adjust the switcher’s phase to center the
source in the timing window. Record this phase setting. Repeat this process
for all external video sources.

Note Internal video sources cannot be measured and do not show up in the mea-

surement window when selected.

Find the average Phase value by adding the highest and lowest Phase
numbers together and then divide by two.

Now recheck all sources with the new average Phase number. Fine tune the
Phase adjustment if necessary.

There may be some sources that still do not fall within the legal timing
window. For these sources you will have to go back to the video source
itself and change its timing with respect to reference until it appears within
the legal timing window.

To adjust the Internal System Timing on the Kayak HD:

1. Press the Home button on the Kayak HD Control Panel.

2. On the menu screen press the Install button.

adjustments if necessary.

There will always be a few video sources that may be out of legal timing
range, even after you have adjusted the switcher for the best average
timing for all sources. In that case, you need to go to the video source
itself and adjust its timing.

11. Check the Asynchronous buses display. If any buses are displayed or

blinking, that bus input is not in sync and the timing for its video
sources must be re-adjusted.

CAUTION If you change the Video Standard setting in the Genlock menu, you must go

back and check the timing for all video sources once again.

Note If you add additional M/Es to your switcher you must also recalibrate your

video timing to make sure all sources are within the new smaller green legal
timing window.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask is a setting used to screen information that is intended only
for the local network within a company and to tell a router that the infor
mation should not be send outside the intranet.

A subnet mask resembles an IP address with its four quadrants of digits
(usually sets of three) and is normally set to
tells the router that a message in which the first three groups of numbers
are the same for both sender and receiver means these two devices are on
the same network. It also means this information should not be sent out to
another network.

Gateway

Setting Up IP Addresses

CAUTION Resetting the default Gateway address for the Kayak HD frame can cause you

to lose all network connections and all switcher functionality. This operation
should only be done by a trained engineer. If you lose switcher function you
must contact Grass Valley Support (see

Most users will never need to reset the Gateway address.

The Gateway is a point on the network that allows that network to connect
with other networks. It can send traffic from its own local network to the
outside world to communicate with other networks. Gateways help to
control traffic within your local network.

There are some situations in which certain users may find it necessary to
reset the Gateway address.

• Running the Sidepanel software from a remote computer that is not on
the same network as the frame or panel.

• Ignite systems may use more than a single network and require a dif­ferent Gateway.

Contacting Grass Valley on page 4).

• NetCentral users may be on a different network than the Kayak frame.

• Routers may be on a different network.

• Machine control over IP

• Simulcast broadcasts

To set the Gateway address for a device using Telnet:

1. First you must physically connect your computer terminal to the frame

as described in the section on

2. Type i n th e com mand :

routeAdd <destination>,<gateway address>

Example: If you want to set the Gateway IP to be 192.168.0.217 you
would type in the command:

routeAdd "0.0.0.0", "192.168.0.217"

The setting "0.0.0.0" would be valid for all the networks.

The device specified in the second address in the command
(

"192.168.0.217" in the example) is the one that becomes the

Gateway for the frame.

Open a Telnet Connection on page 93.

The VxWorks operating system accepts the new Gateway address
immediately without a reboot.

Note If you reboot the Kayak frame, it will reset the Gateway address to its previous

setting. To reset the Gateway address permanently (so that it will remain after
a reboot) please contact Grass Valley Group support (see

Valley on page 4).

Software Installation

Kayak system software updates are distributed on a Kayak Software
Release CD-ROM, or can be downloaded from the Thomson Grass Valley
web site.

Software Versions

The currently loaded software versions of the Kayak system devices is
shown on the Device Control menu, accessed via

The Device Control menu shows on the left all the network connected
devices (Kayak-MF = Mainframe, Kayak-CP = Control Panel) with IP
address and software version installed.

On the right details of the selected device are listed.

Software Update

Software updates can be installed to Kayak system components by trans­ferring the software to a compatible USB flash drive that can be plugged

96 Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual

into the switcher control panel. Refer to the Kayak Release Notes for a list of
compatible flash drives.

Starting with Software Release V680 the software update also can be exe­cuted directly from a PC that is on the same network as the Kayak system
devices. Inserting the Kayak Software CD-ROM into the PC launches an
autorun program. If autorun is disabled on your PC, the program can be

"3489c00db5b1c548e9daf7fbe0ed67eb21"

Installing Licenses

Kayak system licenses can be installed two different ways.

• The recommended installation method consists of copying the
sp_license.txt file (which contains all your licenses) to a sup­ported USB flash drive, and using the Licenses menu to install them
onto your system.

• An alternative installation method consists of manually entering the
text string of each license using a GUI keyboard available on the
Licenses menu.

Button Assignment (Source to Button Mapping)

With either method a Kayak system reboot is required to activate the
licenses.

Refer to the latest Kayak Release Notes for detailed license installation proce­dures.

Button Assignment (Source to Button Mapping)

Source to button mapping makes it possible to organize sources on Kayak
control panels to suit your personal preferences. For example, cameras can
be grouped into a set of buttons on the left side or the right side of a button
row, or in any way that is desired or convenient.

Source mapping is distinct from source definition, as source mapping only
involves the location of sources on the control panel and does not affect the
inputs or names defined for the sources.

Note E-MEM effects store Source IDs, not the source select buttons, so remapping

sources does not change the appearance of recalled effects.

Assign Sources

To assign a source to a button on the Kayak HD switcher:

1. Press the Home button on the control panel.

2. Press Config on the control panel menu.

Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual 99

Section 3 — Configuration

3. Press Panel Assign at the bottom of the Config menu. The Config - CP Assign

menu displays.

Assigned Sources (if sources have been assigned).

Note See Table 10 on page 130 for descriptions of the available sources.

4. Press the number of the Button you want to assign (or re-assign).

The left-hand window pane displays a list of Inputs. These may come
from a number of different sources, but typically the first sources dis
played correspond to video inputs connected to the backplane of the
Kayak HD frame.
