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.

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.

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).

Page 63
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.

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.

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
Page 73
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.

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-
ence Input video source which can be either the HD 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).
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
Note The Kayak HD cannot support both SD and HD at the same time; you must

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.

10. Recheck all video sources on AUX1 for timing. Fine tune the Phase
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.

Netmask
A netmask is a string of zeroes and ones used to “mask” or screen out the network part of an IP address so that only the numbers for a single specific device remain.
To set the Netmask for a device using the Kayak control panel menu, follow the Set IP Address procedure above (see instead of Set IP Address. A data pad displays to allow you to type in the Netmask setting you want to use for the device you selected.

Network Settings - Telnet

Another way to configure network settings for the Kayak HD control panel and frame as well as for connected devices is to connect a computer to the switcher by using Telnet instead of the control panel menus.
Note For setting the Gateway address you must use Telnet as this setting is not
available through the menus.

Netmask
To set the IP Address for a device using Telnet:
Type in the command:
sysIPAddressSet “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
Example: sysIPAddressSet “192.168.0.100”
To set the Netmask for a device using Telnet:
Type in the command:
sysNetMaskSet “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”
Example: If your Netmask is 255.255.254.0 then you would need to type in the command:
sysNetMaskSet “255.255.254.0”
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.
To set the Subnet Mask for a device using Telnet:
Note The normal Subnet Mask that ships with the Kayak frame is
255.255.255.0. This setting
Type in the command:
sysSubnetMaskSet <mask_address_expressed_in_hex>
Example: If your Subnet Mask is 255.255.254.0 then you would need to convert the address to hexadecimal code ( address

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

(Figure 54).
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

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 started manually from tion program is multilingual and self explanatory.
The Sidepanel program is also available on the Kayak Software CD-ROM or with the web site download. The Sidepanel program can be installed onto a PC and used for Kayak system configuration and to access addi tional advanced Kayak system capabilities.

A license is actually a line of text expressed in a format similar to this chroma key license key:
key="LIC_CHROMA_KEY1","1","0000:00:00","9999:12:31","3 4567", "8-xyz","2005:12:06", "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

3. Press Panel Assign at the bottom of the Config menu. The Config - CP Assign
menu displays.
Figure 56. Config - CP Assign Menu
The right-hand window pane displays a list of Buttons with their 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.
The number on the left (such as 1 in Figure 56) is the number of the input recognized by the switcher. This number does not change. The name to the right of the number (such as Name of the source. The Short Name is a four-character name that is shown on the Source Name Displays (also called Mnemonic Displays) above the buttons on the control panel.
