Preface
About This Manual
This manual describes the features of a specific 2000 Series module in the
Kameleon Media Processing System. As part of this module family, it is
subject to Safety and Regulatory Compliance described in the 2000 Series
frame and power supply documentation (see the 2000 Series Frames
Instruction Manual).

2041EDA Instruction Manual 7
2041EDA Wideband Rear
Equalizing Distribution
AmpliÞer
Introduction
The 2041EDA Wideband Rear Equalizing DA provides basic equalization
and distribution of a single standard or high definition wideband signal
(4 Mb/s to 1.5 Gb/s) to eight outputs. The single module resides in any
rear slot of a Kameleon 2000 Series frame and is independent of any front
card for operation.
The features of the 2041EDA include:
•Auto equalization of both SD and HD signals,
•Accepts a wide range of standard or high definition input signal stan-
dards,
•Use of non-inverted outputs allow distribution of compressed signals
such as SMPTE 310M and DVB-ASI,
• Ideal for monitoring or distributing reclocked signals from adjacent
2000 modules, and
•Remote control and monitoring support.

Installation
Installation
Installation of the 2041EDA module is a process of:
• Placing the module in a rear frame slot, and
•Cabling signal ports.
The 2041EDA module can be plugged in and removed from a Kameleon
2000 Series frame with power on. When power is applied to the module,
LED indicators reflect the initialization process (see Power Up on page 10).
Module Placement in the 2000 Frame
There are twelve rear cell locations in the 3 RU frame to accommodate
either analog or digital modules. The 2041EDA rear module plugs into any
one of the rear slots of the Kameleon 2000 frame.
1.
Install the module by inserting it into any rear slot of the frame as
illustrated in Figure 1.
2.
Verify that the module connector seats properly against the midplane.
3. Secure the module to the rear of the frame with the two screw locks on
either side of the back panel using a crossblade screwdriver.

Installation
Cabling
Cabling to the 2041EDA module is done on the BNCs on the rear of the
module. Refer to Figure 2 for a detailed illustration of the rear connections
referenced below.
Inputs
The 2041EDA will accept any of the video standards listed in the Input
specifications in Table 3 on page 14. Connect a video input to BNC J10.
Outputs
The 2041EDA outputs conform to the video standards listed in the Output
specifications in Table 3 on page 14.
Connect video destinations to any of the eight outputs at connectors J2 – J9.
Terminate any unused outputs.
Note BNC J1 is not used on this module. On earlier versions of the 2041EDA
labeled with part number 671-5248-00, BNC J1 provided an output.

Power Up
Power Up
The on-board LED indicators are illustrated in Figure 3. Upon power-up,
the green PWR LED should light and the yellow CONF LED should illumi-
nate for the duration of module initialization.
Operation Indicator LEDs
With a valid input signal connected, the green on-board PWR LED,
SIG_PRES LED and the SIG LED (visible from the rear) should be on. Refer
to Table 1 on page 11 to see a complete list of possible operating conditions
and the resulting indicator status.

Configuration and Monitoring
Configuration and Monitoring
The 2041EDA has no configuration requirements. There are no local
jumpers or controls on the 2041EDA module.
Remote Monitoring
2041EDA monitoring can be performed remotely using the 2000NET inter-
face (see Figure 4). This section describes the GUI access to the module con-
figuration and monitoring functions. Refer to the 2000NET Network
Interface Module Instruction Manual for information on setting up and
operating the 2000 frame network.
Note The physical appearance of the menu displays shown in this manual repre-
sent the use of a particular platform, browser and version of 2000NET
module software. They are provided for reference only. Displays will differ
depending on the type of platform and browser you are using and the version
of the 2000NET software installed in your system.
The 2000 modules can be addressed by clicking on a specific module icon
in the frame status display or on a module name or slot number in the link
list on the left.

Service
Service
The 2041EDA modules make extensive use of surface-mount technology
and programmed parts to achieve compact size and adherence to
demanding technical specifications. Circuit modules should not be ser-
viced in the field unless otherwise directed by Customer Service.
Power-up Diagnostics Failure
If the module has not passed self-diagnostics, do not attempt to trouble-
shoot. Return the unit to Grass Valley (see Module Repair ).
Troubleshooting
If your module is not operating correctly, proceed as follows:
•Check frame and module power. If power is not present, check the fuse
on the module as illustrated in Figure 6.
•Check for presence and quality of input signals.
•Verify that source equipment is operating correctly.
•Check cable connections.
Figure 6. Location of Module Fuse
Module Repair
If the module is still not operating correctly, replace it with a known good
spare and return the faulty module to a designated Grass Valley repair
depot. Call your Grass Valley representative for depot location.
Refer to Contacting Grass Valley Group at the front of this document for the
Grass Valley Customer Service Information number.

The wideband serial SD or HD signal enters the module from rear BNC J10
(labeled In) to an input amplifier. It is then equalized for the specified cable
lengths in the equalizer circuit.
Microprocessor
The main functions of the microprocessor include:
•Providing remote control and monitoring capability for the module
(through ethernet),
•Communicating with equalizer IC to monitor signal present status,
•Relaying module status through on-board LEDs, and
•Configuring module components at power up.

Output Processing
Driver circuits drive each of the eight serial digital outputs to the rear BNCs
J2 through J9. These outputs are non-inverting and are in-phase with each
other.
Power Supply
Power is fed from +24 V rails of the frame’s switching power supply. Each
stage of the module receives its own, separate, highly regulated and filtered
power source. The power input is protected by a socketed fuse (Figure 6).
