Page 7: Kam-Sd-2Aes-Mux Kameleon Series Module
Kameleon Series Module Introduction This manual provides installation, operation and conﬁguration informa- tion for the KAM-SD-2AES-MUX Kameleon Series module. The KAM-SD-2AES-MUX modules provides a serial digital video input and output with embedded audio. Two external AES audio channels can be multiplexed into the SDI output video.
Page 8: Installation
Installation Installation To install the Kameleon modules, perform the following steps: 1. Place the KAM-AES-R passive rear module in a rear frame slot and tighten the screws on each side of the rear module. 2. Cable the signal ports. All Kameleon modules can be inserted and removed from a 2000 Series Kameleon Frame with power on.
Page 9: Module Placement In The 2000T3Ng Kameleon Frame
Module Placement in the 2000T3NG Kameleon Frame There are twelve slot locations in both the front and rear of a 3 RU frame to accommodate 2000 and Kameleon Series media modules (audio/video signal handling modules). The Kameleon media modules consist of a two-module set with a front processing media module and a passive rear module that can be plugged into any of the 12 frame slot pairs.
