Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection

Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame

always follow ESD-prevention procedures:

• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord or any other means if available.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal part of the chassis.

• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between

• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.

• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD protection.

Protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (DES)

Une décharge électrostatique peut se produire lorsque des composants électroniques ne sont pas manipulés de manière adéquate, ce qui peut entraîner

des défaillances intermittentes ou endommager irrémédiablement un circuit électrique. Au moment de remplacer une carte dans un châssis, prenez toujours les mesures de protection antistatique appropriées

• Assurez-vous que le châssis est relié électriquement à la terre par le cordon d'alimentation ou tout autre moyen disponible.

• Portez un bracelet antistatique et assurez-vous qu'il est bien en contact avec la peau. Connectez la pince de masse à une surface non peinte du châssis pour détourner à la terre toute tension électrostatique indésirable. En l’absence de bracelet antistatique, déchargez l’électricité statique de votre corps en touchant une surface métallique non peinte du châssis.

• Pour plus de sécurité, vérifiez périodiquement la valeur de résistance du bracelet antistatique. Elle doit se situer entre 1 et 10

• Si vous devez mettre une carte de côté, assurez-vous de la ranger dans un sac protecteur antistatique.

• Les cartes qui sont reliées à un châssis ou boîtier métallique mis à la terre ne nécessitent pas de protection antistatique spéciale.

Unpacking

Installation in the Densité Frame

Front card-edge layout

Make sure the following items have been shipped with your KMV-3901/3911. If any of the following items are missing, contact your distributor or Grass Valley.

• KMV-3911 or KMV-3901 3Gbps/HD/SD multiviewer card

• the appropriate rear connector panel for the card (see KMV-3911-8X2-3DRP rear panel, or KMV-3901-8X2-3DRP rear panel, on page 5)

The KMV-3901/3911 and its associated rear connector panel must be mounted in a Densité 3 frame or a Densité 3 mini frame. It is not necessary to switch off the frame’s power when installing or removing the card. Refer to the Densité 3 frame manual or the Densité 3 mini frame manual for detailed instructions on installing cards and their associated rear panels.

IMPORTANT

Keep the KMV-3901/3911 offline at initial setup to avoid conflicts.

Before powering up the Densité housing frame, make sure none of the KMV3901/3911multiviewer cards it contains are connected to the network, to avoid IP-address conflicts during initial physical setup is no cable connected to your cards’ ETH port.

IMPORTANT (continued)

Densité CPU-ETH2 Enhanced Ethernet Controller Card

A Densité frame housing a KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer card must have a controller card (Densité CPU-ETH2 Enhanced Ethernet Controller Card) with firmware version 2.0.4 or later. A controller with an earlier version of the firmware cannot provide a time reference to the multiviewer card. Make sure the controller’s internal clock is set to the correct date and time. The clock settings will persist for 10 days after a power loss. Should you need to change the time on a Densité CPU-ETH2 controller, then make sure to restart all multiviewers located in the same housing frame as the controller card. Refer to the Densité CPU-ETH2 Enhanced Ethernet Controller Card Guide to Installation and Operation for more information.

Rear Connector Panel

The KMV-3901/3911 requires a dual-slot-width rear panel:

• Eight 3G/HD/SD inputs (BNC connectors). Optional inputs 5-8 are available only in the case of 8 × 2, and 8 × 1 models.

• Two 3G/HD/SD multiviewer outputs (HDMI connectors). Optional MV OUT 2 is available only in the case of 4 × 2, 8 × 2 cards.

• Two HD-SDI monitoring outputs (DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors). Only supported with the KMV-3911 models.

• One DB-26 connector for GPI I/O lines (8 in / 2 out) and RS-422 control. Grass Valley’s NSH26M wiring terminal adapter can be used to connect the GPI lines to this connector.

• One RJ-45 for data transfer over Ethernet.

With the double-width rear panel installed in a Densité-3 frame, the KMV-3901/3911 must be installed in the rightmost of the two slots covered by the panel in order to mate with the panel’s connectors.

In a Densité 3 mini frame, the card must be placed in the bottom slot.

If it is placed in the wrong slot, the front panel LED will flash red. Move the card to the other slot for correct operation. No damage will result to the card if this occurs.

Connect these outputs (MV OUT 1 and MV OUT 2) to video displays using HDMI cables.

Installation

Incorporated locking mechanism

Front Card Edge

Space constraints on the KMV-3901/3911 rear module do not allow HDMI connectors with a screw securing mechanism. For this reason, a special locking mechanism is incorporated on the rear panel. The mechanism is adjustable for many sizes of cables and shells.

In the case of a KMV-3901/3911 with both heads activated, the two HDMI cables should have same-size plug connectors; otherwise the locking mechanism will not hold the smaller connector securely. If your cables have long plug connectors that will not fit the special locking mechanism, you can secure them with a cable wrap threaded through the hole in the bracket.

HD-SDI Monitoring Output Connectors

There are two HD-SDI monitoring outputs: one associated with Head 1, and one with

2 if enabled. The HD-SDI output resolution depends on the current resolution at the

Head corresponding HDMI output, and, in the case of a 1080-line resolution, on the scan format (interlaced, progressive) configured in XEdit for this output head.

HDMI output resolution HD-SDI output (interlaced) HD-SDI output (progressive)

USB Connector

This USB connector is accessible when the front panel of the Densité frame is open. The USB connector is used for the following tasks:

• Upgrading the Kaleido-X Software and KMV-3901/3911 firmware, by using a USB key prepared with the appropriate upgrade package. Refer to the Kaleido-X Release Notes for details.

• Controlling some features on the monitor wall, by using a mouse (e.g. showing or hiding the monitor wall dashboard, dismissing the confirmation message that appears
