Video Signal Flow

The basic video signal flow (Figure 11 on page 31) 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 generator 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, rotation 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 configuration. 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 provided equipment. A one wire per function parallel hardware connection is used. Connectors and pins are provided to create a mating connector.
58
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).
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 64 4 RU and 8RU Frame Tally (GPI In 9-16, GPI Out 33-64) on page 65 8RU Frame Tally (GPI In 17-24, GPI Out 65-96) on page 66 8RU Frame Tally (GPI In 25-32, GPI Out 97-128) on page 67
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 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 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 59
Section 2 Installation 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).

GPI / Tally Connections 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 constructed to interface with systems that need isolated common connections. This common or isolated bus scheme can extend across multiple connectors. 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. The example in Figure 36 on page 62 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 Volts peak. 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.
8324_13_r1
69
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. Table 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.

Use hub or switch to exceed maximum cable runs. 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps; number of ports required is dependent upon system size. Frame ports are capable of 1000 Mbps. Using a 1000 Mbps Ethernet switch enhances RAM Recorder transfer speeds. Recommended. Configuration not required, but does not provide remote monitoring capability. May be used. Requires configuration, but offers remote monitoring capability.
CAUTION An existing facility Ethernet switch (not hub) can support Kayak HD if an adequate 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 connectors 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.

Video Cabling for all Kayak HD Switchers

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 88 and to Network Settings - Telnet on page 90.
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 Expansion modules when available) that are installed in the chassis. There are 24 inputs active for every mix/effects module and expansion module installed.
71
Outputs
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 reference signals connected. The number of outputs that are active depends on the number of full mix/effects (or I/O Expansion modules when available) installed in the chassis. There are 12 outputs active for every mix/effects and expansion module installed.
Reference Input
There are two separate, looping reference input pairs. The upper pair accepts analog 525 or 625 composite video. Burst is not required, but typically 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.

1. To begin setting the Video Timing for the Kayak HD switcher press the Home key on the switcher control panel to go to the Home menu on the Kayak HD switcher menu screen.
72

Figure 39. Kayak HD Home Menu
2. Press the Install button in the upper left-hand corner of the menu. 3. Press the E-Box Genlock button to display the Genlock menu. The Genlock menu reports the status of the Kayak HD system sync generator. It is used to switch between HD and SD operating modes and to adjust the internal system timing.
Figure 40. Genlock Menu with Video Signal in Green Legal Timing Window
KHD_Install_Genlock_LegalTiming
73
Section 2 Installation The three buttons on the upper right-hand side of the Genlock Menu affect video timing. These buttons are primarily used by Engineering when setting up the switcher. The first button is located in the Video Std. data pad (shown as HD Auto Detect in Figure 40). This button selects the Video Standard that you want to use for the Kayak HD switcher. Press this button to display a list of the possible video standards, including HD Auto Detect and SD Auto Detect. Select the video standard you want to use for the switcher. The second button is in the SD Ref Inp. data pad (shown as Analog in Figure 40). This button is used to select the SD (Standard Definition) 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) Reference 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 NONE status will be reported.
Note The Kayak HD cannot support both SD and HD at the same time; you must choose one mode or the other. If you change the mode from SD to HD (or vice versa) then the Kayak HD hardware must reprogram itself to process the change. This takes a minute, but you only have to do it when changing from HD to SD, or from SD to HD.
74
Kayak HD Video Timing The Asynchronous buses window in the upper left of the Genlock menu shows an overview of the buses for the entire switcher: PP ME1 ME2 ME3 AUX
If any bus is displayed in the Asynchronous buses window that means that the bus input is not in sync and the timing for its video sources must be readjusted.
Select the Video Standard

1. At the top of the Genlock menu press the button shown in the Video Std. data pad. The Select Video Standard menu displays.
Note In Figure 41 the button is displayed as HD Auto Detect, but a different video standard may be selected on your switcher.)
Figure 41. Select Video Standard Menu
2. Press to select the video standard you wish to use for the Kayak HD switcher. If you select either SD Auto Detect or HD Auto Detect the Kayak HD system will automatically determine the appropriate video standard to apply for your switcher based on the external reference.
75
3. After selecting a new video standard a Warning dialog box asks you to confirm the change of the current video standard.
Figure 42. Install Genlock Menu with Warning Dialogs
4. After you select a video standard the Genlock menu displays.
Select the Video Reference Source

1. At the top right of the Genlock menu press the button shown in the HD Ref Inp data pad. The Select HD Reference Input menu displays a scrolling list of HD Reference Inputs from which to choose.
76

Figure 43. Genlock Menu
Note
In Figure 43 the HD Ref Input button displayed reads Analog, but your switcher may be using a different HD Reference signal.
Figure 44. Select HD Reference Input Menu
2. Press on the arrows to scroll through the list. Press to select the name of the HD Reference Input signal you want to use. These signals correspond to video inputs associated with the physical inputs on the back of the Kayak HD frame.
77
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 reference 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. To select the SF mode for the Kayak HD switcher:
Figure 45. Genlock Menu with HD Auto Preselect SF Mode Data Pad
1. From the bottom of the Genlock menu press the button located in the HD Auto Preselect SF Mode data pad (shown in Figure 45 as set to off). The Select SF mode dialog box displays.
78

Figure 46. Genlock Menu with Select SF Mode
2. Press to select either off or on to set the SF video format for your Kayak HD switcher.
Adjust Internal System Timing

The Genlock Phase Knob (located to the right of the menu screen) adjusts/moves the switchers 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 switchers 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 switchers 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 measurement 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.
KHD_Install_Genlock_SelectSFMode
79
Section 2 Installation 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.
Figure 47. Genlock Menu with Legal Timing Source
3. Press the E-Box Genlock button at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. The Genlock menu displays.
Note The E-Box button displays the name of the current Install menu. If the Genlock menu is not displayed, press the E-Box button and select Genlock.
4. On the Kayak HD control panel press a key to select a video source from the AUX 1 bus. You need to check all video sources for timing.
80

5. Observe the vertical black cursor in the timing window to see how the source you have selected compares with the internal system timing.
Now adjust the internal system timing by physically turning the Genlock Phase Knob located to the right of the menu screen, third knob from the top. This adjusts the switcher sync in relation to the Reference you have selected. Turn the Genlock Phase Knob to position the vertical black cursor as close as possible to the middle of the green legal timing window. The vertical black cursor must be in the green and not moving. Position the black cursor (representing the timing for the video source you have selected for AUX 1) near the center of the legal timing window. (See Figure 47.) Green indicates that the source is within legal timing and yellow means that the source is outside legal timing window limits (Figure 48). The text in the Phase button to the right of the Timing Window displays the timing phase in pixels.
6. Write down the Phase number for each source to help determine the average Phase number for all sources. 7. Once you have checked the timing for the first video source you selected from the AUX1 bus, you must repeat the process for every other video source on the AUX1 bus. Select all video sources and record their Phase number. 8. Find the average Phase value by adding the highest and the lower Phase numbers together and then divide by two.
Figure 48. Genlock Menu with Illegal Timing Source
KHD_Install_Genlock_IllegalTiming
81
9. Now set the Phase as close as possible to the average number. 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.

87
Section 3 Configuration
Setting Up IP Addresses
Network Settings
The Kayak HD switcher communicates with other devices over an Ethernet network. When connecting new devices you may wish to configure their network settings.
Note If you are experiencing problems with the network settings for your switcher, please refer to the section on Troubleshooting and Diagnostics on page 146.
IP Address
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies each device sending or receiving information in packets across the Internet. It is used so that two devices can communicate with each other, as well as with other devices connected to the same network. To set the IP address for a device using the Kayak control panel menu:
1. Press the Home button on the control panel. 2. Press Install on the control panel menu. The Install menu displays. 3. Press System. at the bottom of the Install menu. The System menu displays (Figure 51).

Figure 53. Config Device Menu
7. Press the Set IP Addr button. A data pad displays to allow you to type in the IP address you want to use for the device you selected.
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 page 88) except select Set Netmask 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.
90
Open a Telnet Connection

To set up a Telnet connection for your Kayak HD switcher:
1. Connect a computer terminal to the Kayak frame using a pass-through male-to-female serial cable (do not use a null modem cable) connecting the DB9 connector on the front of the Kayak frame chassis to the communications port on the back of the computer.
Example: Communications parameters:
Com 1 Port
Baud Bits Parity Stop Bits
9600 8 None 1
2. Open a terminal emulator software application (such as HyperTerminal or Windows command tool). a. From the Microsoft Windows interface click the Start button and select the Run option. The Run window displays. b. In the Open: text window type cmd and click OK. The command tool window displays. 3. Telnet into the Kayak Frame in the WindRiver VxWorks operating system by typing in:
telnet IPAddress_of_Kayak_Frame Example: telnet 10.16.20.71 The VXWorks login: prompt displays Type in:
Login name: Password:
target password
Your computer should now be connected to the Kayak frame using Telnet.
91
IP Address
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
Netmask
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 information 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 255.255.255.0. This setting 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: 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 (0xFFFFFE00 for address 255.255.254.0) and type in the command: sysSubnetMaskSet 0xFFFFFE00
Note The normal Subnet Mask that ships with the Kayak frame is 255.255.255.0, which would be ffffff00 in hex.
92
Gateway
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 Contacting Grass Valley on page 4).
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. 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 Open a Telnet Connection on page 91. 2. Type in the command:
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. The VxWorks operating system accepts the new Gateway address immediately without a reboot.
93
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 Contacting Grass 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 Home Install System Device Control (Figure 54).
Figure 54. Device Control Menu
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.
94
Software Option Licenses
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 /autorun/autorun.exe on the CD. The installation 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 additional advanced Kayak system capabilities. Refer to the latest Kayak Release Notes for a detailed description of the complete software installation procedure.
Software Option Licenses

Kayak HD has a software option licensing system. You can see the number and type of possible licenses for your system by going to the Licenses menu under Home | Install | System | Licenses (Figure 55). The Licenses menu is used to add licenses to a system. The licenses are stored in 2 EEPROMs (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chips) located in the backplane of the frame. Licenses cannot be moved between different Kayak HD frames.

96
Button Assignment (Source to Button Mapping) 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.
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.
97
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 128 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 displayed 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 IN01 in Figure 56) is the Short 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.

Install - Router Menu

The Kayak HD system can interface with an external routing system like Encore, Jupiter and Pro-Bel automation systems. A routing system connects a router source (router input) to a router destination (router output). Changing the router source sends a different signal to the destination (called a take). A router destination can in turn be connected to a KayakHD input and be configured as a routed KayakHD source (called switcher source in this discussion and in the Kayak menus). The router acts as a preselector for the switcher source, and so increases the number of inputs available to a button on a Kayak system bus. An external router can be configured into levels, to allow the switching of multiple signals simultaneously. For example, video signals can be organized on one level, and key signals on another. By specifying both levels when giving a router take command, both the video and key signals of a source will be routed to their destinations.
Note Kayak system router take commands are applied to single or all router levels depended of the configuration. The external routing system's destinations must be configured correspondingly.
The following control features are supported in Kayak: Destination Assignment Level Assignment (Encore, Pro-Bel) Source name transfer Source name and configuration change notification
Router Control Interface Cabling

Connect an RS-422 9-pin serial cable from the Kayak Video Processor frame to Router or Router Control system.
Note Note Kayak system supports only serial RS -422 communications. Communication via Ethernet network is not supported!
Video Interface Cabling

Connect each Router destination to an available input connector on the Kayak Video Processor frame. You will need to know the module and J number of each input connector used for each destination when you configure the Kayak source.
132

Definition of Areas
Areas create hierarchies within the Encore system and makes it easier to group sources and destinations in a large system. Once an area is defined, an area prefix is automatically assigned to each source and destination in the area by the router engine. This allows, for example, VTR_1 in the master control area to be named the same as a VTR_1 in the production area. The area prefix is part of the system name and can be displayed on certain panels. A user can configure up to 64 areas in an Encore system, but only area 1 to 39 can be controlled from Kayak! Typically, in most installations, a single area is used.
Selecting a Area Number

Take
Take is direct, immediate switching from one Source to another, occurring during the vertical interval for clean transition. The control operation which switches a Source or Sources to a Destination.
Levels
Levels are used during source configuration to setup up different signal formats, such as SD video, analog video, analog audio, digital audio, time code, and data. Levels are linked to logical matrices. Up to 32 levels are available within the Encore system. These levels are global across all areas.
Kayak Router Configuration Menu

The Install - Router - Router Outputs menu is used for destination assignment. On the Kayak there are up to 15 External AUX Buses which can be assigned (connected) to the router outputs (destinations). Once an External AUX Bus is connected to an router output, sources can be controlled (switched) by the Kayak switcher.
136

Figure 94. Install - Router - Outputs Menu
Selecting the Router Output
Touch the Modify Output button and select a number of the desired router output (destination): 1 = First destination of the external router 2 = Second destination of the external router 3 = Third destination of the external router . 0 = Not used / Not connected = External AUX Bus is not assigned
Note The Destination numbers 1 to 255 can be entered and assigned to the 15 AUX Buses of the Kayak.
137
Selecting the Router Level
On some routers systems (Encore, Pro-Bel) it is possible to assign also router levels to a certain External AUX Bus.
Note The handling of levels depends on the configuration of the external router system!
Touch the Modify Level button and select a number of the router levels: 0 = First level of the external router 1 = Second level of the external router 2 = Third level of the external router If Router Output and Router Level are configured, the external router can be controlled. Provided that the external router is configured accordingly!
Source Name Transfer

Source names can be transferred automatically from the external router system to the Kayak.
Note On Encore or Pro-Bel is no additional Protocol for Mnemonics Transfer necessary. If Jupiter is used as external router an additional Protocol has to be selected in the Install - Router - Setup menu!
Control of External Routers

Control of external routers is possible by using the respective Kayak or Sidepanel menu only! To call the menu touch first the Router button in Kayak`s Home menu.
138
Additional Router Configuration

It is also possible to assign a certain Kayak input to an output of an external router system. When a source on this router output changed then the name of the input, which is connected to this router output, will also be updated (Name follow Video) in the input menu of the Kayak.

Install - Tally Menu

The tally signalling for the Kayak works via serial communication line with the option to hook a hardware device onto that (those) serial line(s) to provide tally for those cases where it is not connected to a control system, e.g. Jupiter from Grass Valley. For that optional hardware device the already existing Tally Distributor MI-3040 was chosen. This device is driven via the serial MPK protocol and has 40 opto-isolated inputs and 40 relay outputs. Because the maximum needed amount of inputs and outputs is greater than 40 more then one (up to three) MI-3040 boxes are needed. The menus serves for installing the Tally Distributors connected with the Kayak HD. For installation details refer to your MI-3040 manual. You can configure Tally outputs in the Kayak control panel software from the Config - GPO/Tally menu which is described in more detail in the separate Kayak User Manual.

Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

The Kayak HD Digital Production Switcher is designed for ease of service and includes diagnostic functions for fast and effective troubleshooting of the system. This information is for troubleshooting a Kayak HD system that was installed and working properly prior to experiencing any failures.
Diagnosis Menu
The Diagnosis menu can be selected using the Home Install System menu.
Figure 101. System Setup Dialog Box
The Diagnosis system shows all internal Error Messages from the selected devices. The button Diagn Enable enables / disables the diagnosis in the attached control panel or in the connected mainframe.
146
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics The menu is divided in two sections. In the left list field all devices (panels, mainframes) in the network are listed. Devices marked with a yellow warning symbol has produced internal error messages. After selecting the device the respective error messages are listed in right list field
Figure 102. Install Diagnosis Menu
NetCentral and SNMP Agents

The NetCentral system is a suite of software modules that work together to monitor and report the operational status of TV and video equipment from a NetCentral server PC and its network connected clients. On each monitored device, there is a software module called an SNMP agent. The agent allows the device to collect and store management information (such as disk errors, temperature, video and audio status) and make this available to network management stations using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). On a Kayak HD switcher, the agent is embedded in the system software. On the NetCentral server PC, the NetCentral Manager software module is installed. NetCentral Manager is an SNMP manager application that performs all the centralized monitoring functions and provides the primary user interface. NetCentral Manager requires a software component called a device provider. The device provider provides device specific information to NetCentral Manager including information for a customized user interface to monitor device status and to set up monitoring parameters. A device provider must be installed for each type of device monitored. The
147
Section 4 Maintenance device provider files are copied onto the NetCentral server PC when the NetCentral manager software is installed, which makes the Kayak HD device provider available for installation from the local switcher.
Manually Configure the SNMP Trap Destination

The trap destination is the target for all status messages delivered from the Kayak system. To manually configure the trap destination you need the following information: The names of the SNMP communities to which the switcher belongs. Typically, this is set to Public. If you use other SNMP community names, make sure you set trap destinations for each one.
Kayak system supports at the time only Public (read only access) and Privat (read/write access) communities.
Note
The IP address of the NetCentral server PC which receives SNMP trap information.
The NetCentral PC must be installed in the same Sub-Net as all Kayak devices (control panel and video processing frame).
Note
To check, add, edit, or remove trap destinations on the Kayak HD system:

1. Select the Install Diagnosis menu.
NetCnt Trp IP and NetCnt Trp Comm. are displayed in the right list field.
2. Select Modify Trap Co button to enter the community name or select Modify Trap IP to enter the IP address of the NetCentral PC.
148
Network Problems with Sidepanel

After the installation of the Sidepanel software use the Netcheck application to test your connection and to analyze network stability.
1. Launch the Netcheck application from the Start menu following this path:
Start - DD35 - Netcheck
Figure 103. Path to the Netcheck Software
After starting the program the Netcheck screen displays.
KHD_PathNetcheck
149
Figure 104. Netcheck Screen
2. The IP range can be changed if required. Click on the Scan button to display all network components in the IP address pane of the Netcheck window. 3. In the Ping section of the Netcheck window, click to select the checkbox for either
selected hosts all hosts
The default Ping Delay is 1000 ms and the default Packet Size is 32 bytes. You can change this setting if required.
4. Click on the Start Pinging button and the listing for the pings displays in the upper part of the Netcheck window. (The Start Pinging button toggles to Stop Pinging.) 5. When the required ping information has been obtained, click the Stop Pinging button. Grass Valley recommends that you test your connection using a minimum of 1000 pings to check for problems.
Note The packet loss should not be higher than 0.1%. If the packet loss is higher check your network. Possible reasons for network errors are unscreened cables, problems with switches and hubs, or a network segment with excessive traffic.

6. Click the Reset Stats button to reset the ping values in the upper part of the Netcheck window. 7. Click the Remove Selected button to delete any network components you have selected from the Netcheck window. 8. To scan the network again click on Remove All and then click Scan.
Note Firewalls and antivirus software may block computer network connections to the Kayak HD. Some operating systems have a separate internal software firewall that is turned on by default. If you are experiencing network problems try turning off all firewall and antivirus software including that which comes with the operating system.
Lost LAN Connection

If the panel has lost the IP address, and therefore does not connect automatically, you can re-connect to the frame.
1. Press these buttons all at the same time in the Transition panel:
Black Preset + Trans PVW + Key3
This switches the Effects subpanel into address entry mode.

2. Type in the last group of the frame IP address (Example: If the address is 192.168.0.70 type in 70) and press Enter. 3. The panel will load systemfiles and should then re-connect to the frame.
Problems with Network Configuration

When an IP address of a Kayak HD frame has been changed in order to integrate the devices into an existing network and the subnet mask of the device does not fit to the mask of the network, the connection between frame and panel will be lost. In this case establish a serial terminal connection to the frame and replace the IP address.
CAUTION This should be done only by qualified service personnel.
1. Open a command tool (terminal shell) and type in the following command:
sysIPAddressSet
"<old IP address>"
Example: sysIPAddressSet "192.168.0.71"
151
2. Press Rescan in the Device Control menu of the panel. The frame should now be visible. 3. If the frame is still not visible, reboot both the frame and the panel.
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 all 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 control panel Device Control menu.
Network configuration defaults:

IP address frame (DD/SD/HD): Subnet Mask frame: IP address Ram Recorder (SD/HD): Subnet Mask Ram Recorder: IP address panel (1, 2, and 3 M/E): Subnet Mask panel:
192.168.0.70 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.71 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.73 255.255.255.0

Version Mismatch Button Test

There are cases where the Control Panel software has been upgraded and the Frame has not. This can result in a version mismatch between the Frame and the Control Panel. If this is the case, the Control Panel will not fully boot (for example you may see a blank, white, or blue (empty) screen). It is possible to force the Control Panel to display the Device Control menu during the boot process. If the Frame is missing from the Device Control menu, it is possible that there is a version mismatch. To force the Control Panel to the Device Control menu, complete the following steps:
1. During the boot process, the Home and User 4 (see Figure 106) buttons will begin to flash. Immediately after the first flash, press and hold both buttons and continue to hold them down until the Device Control menu is displayed.
