KayakDD-2 Digital Production Switcher

6.7.3 Video

Different video and control wiring configurations may be used to meet individual facility
requirements. All KayakDD-2 system video inputs and AUX outputs are configurable.
For cabling configuration flexibility, each input can be mapped to any KayakDD-2 panel
source select button, and any KayakDD-2 system video signal can be mapped to any
AUX output connectors.
Program and Preview bus outputs for the M/E have dedicated output connectors as
well.

6.7.3.1 Inputs

Physical inputs are the actual BNC connectors that feed a signal into KayakDD-2.
These non-looping inputs on the back of the Video Processor frame are numbered 1
through 16. Each receives a 270 MHz serial digital video signal. All video inputs are
software configurable, and each input can be mapped to any KayakDD-2 panel source
select button.

6.7.3.2 Outputs

The KayakDD-2 frame provides dedicated program and preview video output
connectors for the M/E. The main program output signal is available on two BNC
connectors. All other outputs are available on one BNC connector only.

Any KayakDD-2 video source can be routed to any Aux bus output (1 through 10).

6.7.3.3 Reference

Input

The looping reference input accepts analog 525 or 625 composite video. Burst is not
required, but typically facility reference color black is used. The timing of all switcher
inputs and outputs are referenced to this signal.

KayakDD-2 can auto-sense whether the reference is 525 or 625 and can change the
internal standard accordingly.
