Kahuna Production Switcher
A multiviewer can receive dynamic source names and tally information from a Kahuna
production switcher. The procedures below describe how to set up a multiviewer to
interface with a Kahuna switcher.
To set up the Kahuna switcher
1 Physically connect one end of an RJ-45 straight cable to the multiviewer’s RS-422 port.
2 Using a DE-9S-to-RJ-45 crossover adapter (Grass Valley part no. 1792-3700-100),
connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate RS-422 control port on the
Kahuna switcher. See
on page 26 for pinouts on the
multiviewer. The illustration below shows the location of the RS-422 ports on an 11RU
Kahuna switcher. The RS-422 ports (highlighted) are numbered 1 – 8, from right to left.
Refer to the Kahuna Install Manual for more details on the RS-422 control ports.
