Pin 3 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.
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.
Kayak HD Frame Pins 1 and 34 of each of the two (four) connectors are connected to ground. For applications that span across more than one connector, only one ground (common) connection is required. Kayak HD — Installation and Service Manual...
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.

Each output can be programmed for function, steady state or pulse, output polarity, and pulse duration. Install Menus section of the Kayak HD User Manual for details Refer to the on setting the characteristics of the output signal (steady state, polarity, pulse duration, etc.).
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).
Be sure to power down before installing the mouse. 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.

Managed capability. CAUTION An existing facility Ethernet switch (not hub) can support Kayak HD if an ade- quate 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.
Network Settings - Telnet on page 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.

Section 2 — Installation 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.
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 switcher’s internal system timing.

FAQs), spare parts information, and a link to the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site. 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.
(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.
Note The NetCentral PC must be installed in the same Sub-Net as all Kayak devices (control panel and video processing frame). To check, add, edit, or remove trap destinations on the Kayak HD system: 1. Select the menu. Install – Diagnosis are displayed in the right list field.

Start Pinging Stop Pinging 5. When the required ping information has been obtained, click the Stop button. Grass Valley recommends that you test your connection Pinging 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.
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.
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.
