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.

Physical Setup

Step 1: Physical Setup

IMPORTANT

Make sure the KMV-3901/3911 cards are NOT connected to the network

To avoid IP-address conflicts during this initial physical setup make sure none
of the multiviewer cards are connected to the network—i.e. make sure there
is no cable connected to your cards’ ETH port—before powering up the
Densité frame.

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.

To set up the multiviewer hardware

1 Referring to the Guide to Installation and Operation that shipped with your

Densité

3+ FR1, Densité 3 mini or Densité 3 housing frame, mount the KMV-3901/3911

multiviewer card and associated rear panel in the housing frame, and then power up
the frame.

Leave the frame door open so that you can monitor all the card’s LEDs.

• The Kaleido-RCP2 is an optional device, and may not have been shipped
with your KMV-3901/3911 system. For information on this and other
options for your multiviewer system, please contact your Grass Valley sales
representative.

• You may need to upgrade your Kaleido-RCP2 devices (if available) to the
latest firmware. The update file can be found on the DVD that shipped with
your multiviewer, and on Grass Valley’s website. Please refer to the Kaleido-
RCP2 Guide to Installation and Operation (available on the DVD, and from
the Documentation Library section of Grass Valley’s website) for
instructions on how to determine the firmware level, and how to perform
the upgrade.

The KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer has been configured to automatically detect the
resolution of any connected display. If the required information is not available, then a
fall-back resolution of 1920

× 1080 @ 60 Hz (HDTV) is used.

3 Connect at least one output of the multiviewer to a display that supports this

resolution (see

Cabling Diagram, on page 8).

• Monitor wall displays: Connect the multiviewer’s MV OUT outputs to the displays.

• Broadcast monitors: If your installation involves broadcast monitors, connect

1

them to the appropriate SDI outputs.

It is also possible to connect SDI outputs to a
router. Refer to Configuring the HD-SDI Monitoring Output Format, in the Kaleido-X
User’s Manual, for instructions on setting the scan format.

If you wish to use a different resolution, see Changing the Output Resolution, below, for
detailed instructions.

Note: If your display is not collocated with your Densité frame you may

choose to employ a DXF-200 transmitter/receiver device that allows you to
install a display up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) from the signal source. For
more information on the DXF-200, refer to the DXF-200 DVI/HDMI Optical
Extension System User’s Manual (part no. M916-9900-104).

IMPORTANT

If you need to install or momentarily remove a Densité card’s rear module, make
sure to first remove the card itself from its slot.

Step 2: Networking Setup

For the KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer to join a TCP/IP network, it must be configured with an
IP address, a network mask, a gateway, and a system name. In addition, a client PC must be
configured to communicate with the multiviewer (see
You must also configure any Kaleido-RCP2 units you may have ordered.

8

Configuring a Client PC, on page 16).

KMV-3901/3911

Quick Start Guide

The KMV-3901/3911 is shipped with the following default settings:

System IP address 192.168.3.31

Network mask 255.255.255.0

Gateway 192.168.3.1

Once the networking parameters are correctly configured on all KMV-3901/3911 cards, it
will not be necessary to switch off the Densité frame’s power when installing or removing
cards.

Note: If the system IP address of the multiviewer has been changed (i.e. it no

longer corresponds to the as-shipped configuration), it is still possible to
determine the current setting. To determine the IP address of your
KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer, see

Application Version, below.

Finding the System IP Address and

Changing the Multiviewer’s IP Address from the Densité Control Panel

IMPORTANT

Before changing a KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer’s IP address, you must first
make sure that the Densité controller’s restore-point settings will not
prevent you from doing so, and momentarily adjust the controller’s settings
if needed.

Verifying the Densité Controller’s Restore-Point Settings

The Densité CPU-ETH2 controller can keep a restore point for some or all cards in the
Densité frame. The controller’s configuration includes a default action that determines what
happens when a card is inserted or restarted. If the default action is set to update card
settings then, if a restore point for the same model of Densité card is found on the controller
card, the controller will automatically apply all parameters from the restore point to the
Densité card. In the case of a KMV-3901/3911 card, this would prevent you from changing
the card’s network settings. To do so, you would need to momentarily set the default action
to keep card settings.

To verify the restore-point settings, and adjust the default action if needed

XEdit Installation

Step 3: XEdit Installation

XEdit is a client application used to create layouts for the monitor wall, and to configure
your multiviewer system, from your PC or laptop. When the computer with XEdit is
connected to the multiviewer through a TCP/IP network, you can use XEdit to modify
layouts and settings directly on the multiviewer, or you can work locally on the computer
and then export your changes to the multiviewer.

To install XEdit from your multiviewer’s home page

1 From a workstation on the same subnet as the multiviewer, open a Web browser

window and type the multiviewer’s IP address in the address bar.

The multiviewer’s home page appears.

2Click the XEdit button.

The browser prompts you to save an executable file to your hard drive (Kaleido-

windows32-online.exe

). This file is an online installer, which will download XEdit and
other companion elements from your multiviewer, and install them. Some browsers
may allow you to run the file directly. Depending on your browser’s security features,
warnings may appear, which you may safely dismiss.

3 Unless your browser let you run the file (and you chose to do so), navigate to the

location were you saved the installer file and open it.

More security warnings or prompts may appear, which you may safely dismiss or
accept.

A window appears, showing the download and installation progress.
