Note The Kayenne XL 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 switcher 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.
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. Inter-
laced 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 switcher 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 switcher, set the parameter HD Auto Preselect
to Segmented Frame Mode.
Adjust Internal System Timing
Genlock Phase adjusts/moves the switcher’s 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.
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.
