About this Manual
Thank you for purchasing your new Mav Remote control unit.
This installation manual will help you through each stage of the physical installation and
advise you of all relevant safety aspects. For user setup and configuration please consult the
User Instruction Manual.
MAV Remote provides a cost-effective way of managing multiple outputs derived from a
Kahuna or Kula mainframe.
Mav Remote offers a control solution for Grass Valley’s Kahuna and Kula production
switchers when a full-blown panel is not required. The Mav Remote control mechanism is
ideal for Remote Production applications, forms part of a wider switcher control strategy
within any production facility and can be deployed with any Grass Valley switcher solution.
Mav Remote is a cost-effective, dedicated hardware solution that delivers the solid and
reliable operational benefits of the Maverik or Kula Control surface. Eliminating the need to
be in the same location as the video processing equipment, the Mav Remote is simply
connected to the Kahuna or Kula Video Processing mainframe across a network
connection. It provides full control of the mainframe and the outputs you need from it in
HD, UHD, SDR and HDR.
If you have any questions regarding the installation of your product, please refer to the
contact details listed at the rear of this manual.

About this Manual
On Receipt of the Mav Remote
EMC Performance of Cables and Connectors
Grass Valley products are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the appropriate
European EMC standards. In order to achieve this performance in real installations it is
essential to use cables and connectors with good EMC characteristics.
All signal connections (including remote control connections) shall be made with screened
cables terminated in connectors having a metal shell. The cable screen shall have a
large-area contact with the metal shell.
COAXIAL CABLES
Coaxial cables connections (particularly serial digital video connections) shall be made with
high-quality double-screened coaxial cables such as Belden 8281 or BBC type PSF1/2M and
Belden 1694A (for 3Gbps).
D-TYPE CONNECTORS
D-type connectors shall have metal shells making good RF contact with the cable screen.
Connectors having “dimples” which improve the contact between the plug and socket
shells, are recommended.
WARNING
This equipment is compliant with Class A of CISPR 32. In a residential environment this
equipment may cause radio interference.
On Receipt of the Mav Remote
The equipment is supplied in dedicated packaging provided by the manufacturer and
should not be accepted if delivered in inferior or unauthorized materials.
• Carefully unpack the system components and check them against the packing list.
If there is anything incorrect notify your Grass Valley Partner, or Grass Valley, at once.
• Check that the equipment has not been damaged in transit. If any damage has
occurred notify your Grass Valley Partner (or Grass Valley directly) and the carrier
immediately.
• Always retain the original packing materials if possible, they could prove useful should
it ever be necessary to transport or ship the system units.
• Always read the installation guide and the user instructions (separate manual) carefully,
it will provide you with helpful hints and tips about care and maintenance and help you
get the most out of your Mav Remote.

Environment and Location
Environmental Considerations
The ambient temperature for all the supplied equipment should not exceed the limits of 5
and 40°C (41 to 104F) at a relative humidity of 10 to 90% (non-condensing).
Installing the equipment in a clean environment with moderate temperature and humidity
will promote a long and trouble-free equipment life.
Mounting the Mav Remote
There are three ways to mount the Mav Remote:
• Desk Mount
• Half Rack Mount (with rack mount tray as support)
• Rack Mount using 2x Mav Remote units with a joining plate
Desk Mount
The rack mount ear mounting brackets can be set to two different positions, horizontal with
the mounting holes facing upwards, and vertically (for Rack Mount as described in the 19"
Rack Mount description), this will allow the unit to be secured to the underside of a desk.
With the rack mount ears
in the horizontal position,
the unit can be secured to
a desk using 4x screws

Environment and Location
Half 19" Rack Mount
Half 19" Rack Mount
The mounting brackets may also be set to a vertical position to fit the unit into a 19" rack,
the unit is 1RU high and only half 19" wide, so will need to have support from below using a
rack mount tray, as only one side of the unit can be secured to the rack sides.
19” Rack Mount using two Mav Remote units with a Joining Plate
Two Mav Remote units can be joined together using a joining plate, which allows the units to
span across the full width of the rack and fasten to the rack without the support of a rack tray.
+Note + ☞ Note
The Mav Remote must have ventilation to allow cooling, and must not be installed into an
enclosed space.
The unit is secured to the
rack on one side only.

Cabling and Connections
Mav Remote Connections
The Mav Remote is a rack mountable/desk top hardware element that provides a means of
control to the Grass Valley switcher range.
Essentially the Mav Remote enables control of the video hardware from a remote location
away from the main control surface. It allows engineering to remotely control a mainframe,
operators to have a smaller means of control when used with MAV modules.
• The Mav Remote has 2 external PSU connectors, one PSU can power the MAV-GUI, the
other PSU is for redundancy.
• The Mav Remote has a network port which connect directly to the switcher mainframe.
• The Mav Remote has 8x Comms ports and can have up to 16 individual MAV modules
connected to it.
