Menu Panel.
Soft Panel (KSP) Option
Figure 12. Soft Panel Application
K-Frame Control Surfaces
The KSP is an optional 1-ME Soft Panel GUI which provides direct control
of switching crosspoints, recalling effects and macros together with an inte
grated version of the Menu application. A customized PC keyboard is
included with the option for users who like quick cut and mix action from
a hard-button interface. The KSP can be used as an adjunct to a main panel,
providing a second seat (second control surface) in a Suite, or as the only
control surface for a second Suite.
The KSP GUI application is designed to run on a PC platform. The screen
must be 1920x1080 resolution or better (which is common in professional
video environments). A touchscreen is not required, but can be very useful.
The KSP software is included with the switcher application software. Purchasing the option provides a software license that enables the interface for
the selected switcher, and includes a customized PC keyboard. The license
activates an unlimited number of KSP applications associated with the
licensed video processor frame. Additional customized PC keyboards are
also available for purchase.

Menu Application
The Menu application software provided with every K-Frame system can
be run on a standard PC. This software accesses all the system’s function
ality, permitting mouse and keyboard control from a laptop, or remote
control from any location on the network.
Kayenne K-Frame System Examples
Basic Single Suite Kayenne Panel System
A basic K-Frame system consists of a Control Panel, a Menu application
running on a touch screen Menu Panel, and a Video Processor Frame. The
Control Panel and Menu application make up a control surface associated
with that frame. The Kayenne Control Panel and Menu Panel have associ
ated active electronics housed in the Panel Control Unit (PCU).

Panel Control Unit (PCU)
Multiple Suite Kayenne Panel System
A K-Frame system can be subdivided into two suites, if desired, each of
which can have two control surfaces (Surface A and Surface B). Each
surface has it's own set of Panel Preferences for configuration of the control
panel behavior and independent macro systems to allow for independent
building and running of macros by each operator at the control surface.
Hardware resources in the Video Processor Frame can be assigned to an
individual suite during configuration, essentially creating two separate
switchers sharing one frame.

K-Frame Standard 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 Standard 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 for Standard K-Frame
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 pro
vided.

About 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

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

K-Frame 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 on all K-Frames can be completely
removed when installed in a rack immediately below conventional flush
mounted rack-ear only equipment. If the Standard K-Frame power supply
Frame is mounted directly above the Standard K-Frame chassis, the chassis
door can be completely removed after removing the power supply’s front
screen. However, mounting any K-Frame (including Compact Performance
and Compact S-series) 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

A K-Frame Video Processor uses Ethernet for basic system communications, can operate with Kayenne or Karrera control surfaces, supports
several video inputs and output standards, and has other available inter
faces (RS-232, Tally, GPI).

Figure 1. K-Frame System Communications Overview
CAUTION The facility network used for your K-Frame system (and other video produc-

K-Frame Ethernet Tally Verses Serial Tally
Our K-Frame tally system provides significantly more information than the
bandwidth of the serial connection. Therefore, we support Ethernet tally
only. However, many tally vendors do support our Ethernet tally system so
contact your tally vendor for K-Frame Ethernet tally support information.
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 K-Frame system
related.
-
Suites and Control Surfaces
A K-Frame system can be divided into two suites. K-Frame system
resources (MEs, eDPMs, external devices, etc.) can be assigned to each
suite, creating two switchers with one K-Frame 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.

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.

Inputs
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.
Outputs
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 selected video standard.
MatchDef and SetDef Format Conversion
K-Frame Video Processor modular IO is available for MatchDef and SetDef
signal conversion, or to increase the number of standard video inputs and

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
Switcher Delay minus the input time location within the autotiming
window (the time location value can be zero, positive, or negative).
Figure 3. Switcher Timing Diagram
•For inputs entering the switcher in zero time with the reference, the
total delay through the switcher is the Nominal Switcher Delay (A
•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
Delay (A μs) plus the autotiming window range. This value is the
Maximum Switcher Delay value (D μs).
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.

μs).
Page 48
Section 3 — K-Frame Cabling
Time Zones and the Autotiming Window
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 in time (or earlier) than down stream ME inputs. A
5 ME production switcher has six time zones to accommodate reentry
through all the MEs to any output. 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. See the Kayenne/Karrera K-Frame Installation & Service Manuals for K-Frame system video timing and delay
information.
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.
NoteA tally interface that communicates with third party devices over Ethernet is
also available. Refer to the separate Switcher Products Protocols Manual for specific information.
-
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. E ac h c onn ec to r
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. For applications that span
across more than one connector, only one ground (common) connection is
required.

The function of each GPI input is user assignable. A 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.
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 busses, half of the commons form the first common bus and
the other half form the second common bus.

Video Processor Frame GPI/Tally Interface
Figure 6. Tally and GPI Output Connection Example
The first four outputs (COMMON A) have the common bus tied to ground.
This drives a logic system. The last outputs (COMMON G and COMMON
H) have the common bus tied to +12 volts. This drives a tally lamp system.
Although diagram shows mechanical relays, the actual outputs are implemented with solid state relays. 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
