1. Introduction
KMU-100 is an advanced video converter allowing conversion of UHD input signals into 4
different streams with resolution up to FullHD. Each device has two UHD inputs which work
simultaneously.
You can define 4 output windows on every UHD source signal. The resolution of a window in
channel 1 can be up to 3860x2160, while channels 2, 3 and 4 support resolution of windows
up to 1920x1080 pixels. Every window can be animated. Animation is made by defining the
Start and End positions, along with their transition mode (single, loop, ping-pong). During
the animation, every window can change its size. This feature simulates the digital zoom.
1.1 Functions and features of KMU 100
KMU 100 is an advanced video converter that allows processing and conversion of UHD
signals (3840x2160), for example: 12G SDI or HDMI 2.0 into four or eight different high-
quality streams, at resolutions up to FullHD. KMU has got two independent conversion
channels!
This enables simultaneous and parallel processing of two UHD signal sources – 3840x2160,
the input signals are converted into 8 3G SDI outputs, which can be additionally
synchronized to a Genlock input.
This solution is ideal for professionals who deal with production and broadcasting of video
materials using a variety of sources and signal types. It is perfect to apply both on the set
and during the life coverage of events.

6
In addition, KMU 100 converter is really easy to use. Complete software is provided with the
device, and the control over all its functions and parameters is exercised via a LAN
connected computer with the application installed. The small size of the device, its user-
friendly interface, and the support with DV Link platform also positively influence
converter’s usability and user experience.
1.2 How does KMU 100 operate?
KMU 100 is able to simultaneously convert signals from two video inputs with resolutions
up to UHD (3840x2160). It supports a variety of video formats and enables the connection
of signal sources in the form of SDI and HDMI, including 12G SDI and HDMI 2.0 technologies.
The output signals are as many as 8 channels. They are created for each channel by
indicating an active area from the area of the device’s input signals. These areas are defined
in the application installed on a computer connected to the KMU 100 device via LAN.
The definition of the area, which will determine the output content, is nothing more than a
simple positioning of a rectangle in the MultiViewer preview for a given channel. Each of the
rectangles is marked with a different border color. For one of the channels you can scale the
signal from full 4K resolution to FullHD, and there is up and down scaling (zoom) possible
for all other outputs. The output area (position of each rectangle) may be a function of a
variable, which means in constant motion. For each rectangle, there are simple animations
available; you just need to select one of the available modes. The scope of all the settings
and the end positions are defined in the application in a user friendly interface.
The areas defined by the rectangles create 8 SDI outputs (2 x 4 or 1 x 8).
Two multiviewer (HDMI) outputs are used for preview and for device’s configuration.
KMU 100 means multiple applications and uses, as this device allows for a variety of effects
that will satisfy every professional engaged in production, broadcasting and also events’ live
coverage with the use of audiovisual materials!

2. Capabilities, functionalities and applications
KMU 100 – is a bridge connecting 4K technologies with current video systems solutions. This
device has a very wide range of applications in virtually every area where the high quality
image preview is required, – like sporting events, industrial automation, visual effects used
during all kinds of live events or postproduction.
Below, you can find several applications shown as examples of possible uses of our device:
2.1 Image production and postproduction
KMU 100’s capabilities are perfect for, among others, video image postproduction. The
material is recorded with one or two video cameras at 4k resolution.
With KMU 100, you can not only change the composition, but also the shots. The end result
will resemble the usage of several cameras, and, with your mixer’s help, the transitions
between them will be smooth and natural. At the same time, this solution allows for the
material to be realized by a single camera operator – thus allowing the reduction of
production costs. And the resulting material will still be of a high quality and FullHD
resolution, as if it was realized by several operators.

11
2.2 Creating a video wall
Video walls are a modern and increasingly popular solution used in entertainment,
advertising, marketing, and special events. With its capability to separate the signal from 4K
inputs, KMU 100 converter is an excellent tool for creating a video wall by multiplying the
signal from one or two 4K sources.
And a video wall created with two KMU 100 devices attains a resolution of 8K!

12
2.3 The highest quality in security systems
KMU is an invaluable tool in creating a top-notch security system. It allows you to get eight
3G HD outputs from a single 4K camera.
As KMU 100 processes the signal in real time, you obtain the effect of 8 high-quality mobile
video cameras – but without their actual movement.
This way, the converter provides both new opportunities and the possibilities to cut down
the costs by reducing the number of actual video cameras and cables, while simultaneously
increasing precision and quality in capturing all the important details.

3. Control Application
It allows the device’s configuration and saving presets in the device’s internal memory.
While the KMU 100 control application is loading, a screen with a progress bar at the
bottom is being displayed:
3.1 App window descriptions: Connections
This tab allows the definition of input signals connection to Channel 1 and Channel 2. There
is also a possibility to use the signal from input 1 to process in Channel 2, and vice versa –
use the signal from input 2 for processing in Channel 1.

14
After selecting connection input interface, you will see a diagram with visualization of
necessary cable connections.
The Connection screen window can be divided into 3 areas: 1. Menu area; 2. Graphics area
and 3. Input/output signals area, as is shown in the picture below.
1. Menu area – when the Connection icon is orange, it indicates that you are working on
this particular screen. Pressing the Channel 1 or Channel 2 icon will switch your display from
Connection mode to channel 1 or channel 2 settings (processing) mode. The detailed
explanation of the Menu area is in the further part of the manual.
2. Graphics area – displays the back wall of the KMU 100 device with all its available inputs
and outputs in the form of a diagram. The active status and the introduced changes to the
inputs and outputs are graphically shown on the screen in the form of emerging arrows /
orange icons.

15
In fact, the active inputs / outputs at the back wall of the KMU 100 device are indicated by
glowing LEDs at each input / output. Color of the diode indicates the signal’s resolution. The
LED lights up when a signal is connected to the input.
Below, you can see the image of KMU 100’s rear panel – arrows show locations of the LEDs.
These indicator LEDs are also shown as icons in the graphics area.
The LEDs’ colors indicating current signal format are described on the screen in the upper
right part of the graphics area. The image below shows the LEDs descriptions.
Here, you can see the LEDs on the graphics area – they are indicated by the red arrows.
When you move the cursor over the input icon, a preview of the detected format is
displayed in a nearby window. In this window, such properties as Format, Resolution, FPS
and Mode are shown – as you can see in the picture above.
The other ports shown in the graphics area (the image below):
•2 x Port HDMI Video Output HDMI type A connector with support for 1080p60 – for
connecting two monitors displaying Channel 1 and Channel 2 images as MultiViewer;
•Port: Sync Input (Genlock) – allows the specification of the reference signal for
output channels synchronization;
•Port: Ethernet RJ45 – for control, configuration and updates;
•Port: RS-232 – input for controlling configuration;
•DC power supply socket.

3. Input/output signals area – allows you to configure the KMU 100 device.
Setting the input signal
You can choose the input signal options from the drop-down lists below the Signal Input 1
and Signal Input 2 icons, as described below.
The Signal Input 1 drop-down list is shown in the image below:
There are 4 Signal Input 1 configuration options to choose from: 4x SDI , 1x SDI, HDMI and
Input Signal 2.
When you select 4x SDI option, the appropriate graphics is shown in the graphics area. See
the image below.

17
After configuring Signal Input 1, you do the same with Signal Input 2. There are 4 options
for Signal Input 2: 4x SDI, 1x SDI, HDMI and Input Signal 1.
There is a possibility of not connecting any signal to the 2nd input, but rather selecting
Input Signal 1 from the 1st input – then, in the processing of the whole device, a copy of the
signal from input 1 will be regarded as input 2. This option of setting the signal from the
other input is also available for input 1 (image below).

18
With that, you will be able to double the number of windows on the same image – use 8
instead of 4.
Setting the output signal
There are several output signal format options on the drop-down list below the Signal
Output icon, as you can see in the image below:
After selecting connection input interface, you will see a diagram with visualization of
necessary cable connections. This tab also defines the output resolution. The available
formats are:
•SD PAL/NTSC
•SD 16:9 PAL/NTSC
•720p 50/59.94/60
•1080i 50/59.94/60
•1080p 25/29.97/60
•1080p 50/50.94/60
3.2 App window descriptions: Channel 1 and Channel 2
Channel 1 (Channel 2 description is exactly the same).

19
This tab is used for defining the way the input signal is divided into 4 different outputs. Is it
done by drawing 4 different windows: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Content of the area bordered by each
rectangle will be send to a corresponding output.
The Channel 1 screen window can be divided into 4 areas: 1. Menu area, 2. Central work
area, 3. Settings (control) area of windows 1, 2, 3 and 4. Preview on the monitors area –
Multiviewer (image below).
1. Menu area – Channel 1 icon’s orange color indicates the work on this screen. Clicking the
Channel 2 icon will switch the application’s screen to the settings of the second channel.
2. Central work area – allows the definition of windows which are connected with the
outputs.
To improve UI clarity, every output is available in a separate tab: Frame 1 … Frame 4.
Window’s size and position can be set with mouse clicks (on central work area) or by
writing the exact size/position in settings area located on the right side. Window’s size –
can be indicated in the central work area by catching on any corner or edge of the window
frame with the cursor. The window proportions are always retained – the rectangle is cut in
16:9 aspect ratio.
Size of Window 1 is unrestricted – you can select it up to the input format, even 4K. See the
image below (current position and size).

20
Windows 2, 3 and 4 support resolution up to 1080p and application does not allow to
extend it more.
A double click on the edited window will select it into max available size; the second double
click will restore it to its previous size. Aspect ratio is defined by the output resolution and
automatically applied to window definition.
You can set a graphical background for the gray workspace of Central work area, which will
help you with positioning of the windows. The chosen graphics file (JPG, PNG) is loaded
from the hard drive (image below).
3. Settings area of windows 1, 2, 3 or 4
Window selection – a window to work in is selected by switching on the appropriate Frame
1, 2, 3 or 4 button on the right side of the workspace. The selected window is indicated by
the orange icon (image below).
So far we’ve covered windows 1, 2, 3 and 4 defined as fixed (stationary) in their Start
positions. In addition, for each window A, B, C or D an animation can be defined.
Window animation is possible for every rectangle. You just need to select the size and
position of Start rectangle and Stop rectangle. The positions and the sizes of Start and Stop
windows can be defined with cursor or by indicating the positions in the settings area:
Current position and size and Destination position and size.
If you want to set the final window position exactly in the place where the start window is,
you need to use the From Current button. In the picture below, you can see Start window
and Stop window overlapping (in identical positions).
