Installation & Service Manual
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely
affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame
always follow ESD-prevention procedures:
• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord
or any other means if available.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the
grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted
ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted
metal part of the chassis.
• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should
be between 1 and 10 megohms.
• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.
• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD
protection.
Protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (DES)
Une décharge électrostatique peut se produire lorsque des composants
électroniques ne sont pas manipulés de manière adéquate, ce qui peut entraîner
des défaillances intermittentes ou endommager irrémédiablement un circuit
électrique. Au moment de remplacer une carte dans un châssis, prenez toujours les
mesures de protection antistatique appropriées :
• Assurez-vous que le châssis est relié électriquement à la terre par le cordon
d'alimentation ou tout autre moyen disponible.
• Portez un bracelet antistatique et assurez-vous qu'il est bien en contact avec la peau.
Connectez la pince de masse à une surface non peinte du châssis pour détourner à la
terre toute tension électrostatique indésirable. En l’absence de bracelet antistatique,
déchargez l’électricité statique de votre corps en touchant une surface métallique non
peinte du châssis.
• Pour plus de sécurité, vérifiez périodiquement la valeur de résistance du bracelet
antistatique. Elle doit se situer entre 1 et 10 mégohms.
• Si vous devez mettre une carte de côté, assurez-vous de la ranger dans un sac
protecteur antistatique.
• Les cartes qui sont reliées à un châssis ou boîtier métallique mis à la terre ne
nécessitent pas de protection antistatique spéciale.

Overview
Welcome to the Kaleido family of multiviewers! This Installation & Service Manual is
designed to help you get your KMX-3921 multiviewer up and running. The following
chapters will guide you through the installation of a KMX-3921 system in its default
configuration. This chapter provides an overview of the KMX-3921 unit.
The KMX-3921 is a flexible and scalable 4K- and HDR-ready multiviewer for TV production
optimized for the space, power and weight considerations found in studios and outside
broadcast trucks.

Overview
Introduction
Introduction
The KMX-3921 multiviewer can be installed in either a Densité 3+ FR1 frame or a
Densité 3+ FR4 frame. The KMX-3921 cards are installed in the frame with a corresponding
back panel that is installed at the rear of the frame. Each KMX-3921 card can display up to
nine SD, HD, or 3G-SDI video sources in up to nine video windows across one or two high-
resolution mosaic outputs. Combine up to six KMX-3921 cards, to configure a single-, dual-
or quad-mosaic output system in a range of sizes (see Supported Frames and Multiviewer
Scaling, on page 13). According to the number of KMX-3921 cards chosen for an
installation, a correspondingly sized rear panel is used to interconnect the cards.
The connectors for KMX-3921 multiviewer’s SDI inputs and mosaic SFP outputs are located
on the multiviewer’s rear panel. The mosaic outputs require one or two SFP output modules
for connection to a display.
The multiviewer can be genlocked to the frame’s reference. For the Densité 3+ FR1 frame,
the optional REF-1801-FR1 card must previously have been installed in the frame.
The KMX-3921 is ideal for production monitoring in trucks. It integrates tightly with other
Densité signal processing cards, routers and production switchers.

KMX-3921 features
Feature Description
Space-efficient
modular design
Modular design offers wide range of input/output configurations, for
streamlined, cost-saving cabling and optimization of space usage.
Standard Densité 3+ frame housings enable mix-and-match capability of
multiviewers with signal processing modules, URS frame reference, and
GPI I/O via GPI-1501 cards.
Unmatched
image quality
Unmatched multiviewer picture quality, and superior on-screen graphics.
Mosaic outputs at full 1080p 50/60Hz resolution on up to four multiviewer
displays.
Input signal processing up to 3 Gb/s signal formats.
Capable of producing a seamless, pixel-perfect 4K UHD quad-link mosaic
output image.
Robust and
serviceable
design
Hot swappable cards with unique auto-recovery feature, which provides fast
automated recovery after a cold spare is inserted.
Densité 3+ frame housings, with redundant power supplies, and quiet
cooling.
Multi-room,
multi-user
oriented
A single KMX-3921 multiviewer can be used to share sources across multiple
rooms or operator positions, with fully independent displays, audio
monitoring and control panels dedicated to each operator.

Installation & Service Manual
Supported Frames and Multiviewer Scaling
The frame the KMX-3921 multiviewer is installed in and the frame’s controller model has a
direct effect on the multiviewer’s implementation:
• A KMX-3921 9 × 1 or 9 × 2 multiviewer can fit in either a Densité 3+ FR1 or
Densité 3+ FR4 frame (with any frame controller model type).
• All other larger multiviewer models are only compatible with a Densité 3+ FR4 frame
that is equipped with either the CPU-ETH3-STD standard or CPU-ETH3-ADV advanced
frame controller.
If the frame has available slots, multiple individual multiviewers can coexist in the same
frame. This is summarized in the table below.
Seamless
control across
multiple
multiviewers
Kaleido multiviewers can be mixed and matched to create a seamless
monitoring system across a facility.
Choice of control options such as the standalone Kaleido-RCP2 or RCP-200
panels, integrated with router control systems and panels, iControl, and
third-party control systems.
Scalable for the
largest systems
Virtually limitless multiviewer system expansion with an upstream router.
High Dynamic
Range Support
and Wide Color
Gamut
supporta
Support for HDR and WCG input signals. This supports a mix of multiviewer
signal input types (SDR, HDR, color gamut) to be viewed in the mosaic output
at the same time within the limits of the ITU Rec. 709 output.
The HDR format permits the display of a wider range of luminance between
the brightest and darkest parts of an image. WCG permits an extended color
space range of an image.
SDR mosaic
output
The mosaic outputs always use Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and colors
according to ITU Rec. 709.
