Mains Power Supplies
This equipment has two 3-pin IEC power sockets, one for the main power supply unit and one
for the redundant power supply unit.
The power supply is auto switching for input voltages in the ranges of 100 V to 240 V nominal.
No voltage adjustment procedure is required.
Power Cord Supplied
The equipment is shipped with a power cord with a standard molded IEC female plug on one
end and a standard mains plug on the other. If you are required to remove the molded mains
supply plug, dispose of the plug immediately in a safe manner.
The color code for the cord is as follows:
• GREEN/YELLOW lead connected to E (Protective Earth Conductor)
• BROWN lead connected to L (Live Conductor)
• BLUE lead connected to N (Neutral Conductor)
Laser Safety
This product operates with Class 1 laser products.
Ventilation
Although the unit is constructed to meet normal environmental requirements, ensure that
there is a free flow of air at the front, rear, and sides of the unit to dissipate the heat produced
during operation. Installations should be designed to allow for this.
• This equipment has more than one power supply. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, plug each power supply into separate branch circuits employing separate
service grounds.
• Before performing any servicing or maintenance, disconnect and isolate the unit
from the mains input and from any product outputs.
• Do not operate this unit without an earth connection.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the right-side of the unit. Damage to the equipment
may result.

1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The KudosPro MC1000/MC1000-IQ/MC2000/MC2000-IQ units are motion compensated
standards converters for a range of applications including:
• International program distribution
• Content re purposing for Internet, TV, and Blu-ray distribution
• International TV and video production
These units are ideal for customers who wish to perform high-quality conversions from one
frame rate to another, such as 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
1.1.1 MC1000-IQ/MC2000-IQ Only
KudosPro units with the IQ suffix can be fitted with up to two IQ modules and rear panels.
When ordered with the KudosPro unit the IQ modules will be factory fitted before shipping.
Any IQ modules fitted are controlled using RollCall and cannot be controlled from the front
panel of the MC1000-IQ/MC2000-IQ unit.
For a full list of compatible IQ modules and rears see the Recommended Modules for
KudosPro-IQ Units Application Note under the “Support” tab at:
http://www.snellgroup.com/products/conversion-and-restoration/conversion/kudospro/
1.2 Front Panel View
The front panel provides a user-friendly interface for complete control of the unit.
For information about front panel features, see page 27. For information about operating the
front panel, see page 29.
1.3 Rear Panel View: MC1000 and MC2000
The rear panel accommodates a CVBS option with AES unbalanced audio and composite
video connections.
1.4 Rear Panel View: MC1000-IQ and MC2000-IQ
The rear panel has space for up to two IQ module rear panels. CVBS and unbalanced AES
inputs and outputs are not supported.

1.6 Block Diagrams
1.6.1 MC1000 & MC1000-IQ Video Processing
The MC1000 and MC1000-IQ offer one channel of frame rate or format conversion with a
choice of four SDI inputs and four SDI outputs.
MC1000 only: The CVBS I/O is restricted by design, only CVBS A1 and A2 can be used as
inputs to the MC1000, and only CVBS B1 and B2 can be used as outputs. Other connectors
are present on the rear panel, such as CVBS C1 and C2, and CVBS D1 and D2, but these
cannot be used.
1.6.2 MC1000 & MC1000-IQ Audio Processing
Note:
• The MC1000-IQ unit does not have CVBS inputs or outputs.
• If the optional SFP connectors are fitted as receivers, they will not be available as
transmitters. Likewise, if fitted as transmitters, they will not be available as
receivers.

1.6.3 MC2000 & MC2000-IQ Video Processing
The MC2000 and MC2000-IQ offer two channels of frame rate or format conversion with a
choice of four SDI inputs and four SDI outputs. SDI outputs A1 and A2 are used for video
processing channel A, and SDI outputs B1 and B2 are used for video processing channel B.
MC2000 only: The CVBS I/O is restricted by design, only CVBS A1, A2, B1, and B2 can be
used as inputs to the MC2000, and only CVBS C1, C2, D1, and D2 can be used as outputs.
Note:
• The MC2000-IQ unit does not have CVBS inputs or outputs.
• If the optional SFP connectors are fitted as receivers, they will not be available as
transmitters. Likewise, if fitted as transmitters, they will not be available as

1.6.4 MC2000 & MC2000-IQ Audio Processing
Where two Dolby E options are fitted (MC2000/MC2000-IQ only), the first decode/transcode
path (Decode 1/Encode 1 in the block diagram) is only available as embedded audio on SDI
outputs A1 and A2, and can be routed to any AES or analog audio encoder. The second
decode/transcode path (Decode 2/Encode 2 in the block diagram) is only available as
embedded audio on SDI outputs B1 and B2, and can be routed to any AES or analog audio
encoder.
It is not possible to cross-route the Dolby option outputs. For example, you cannot embed
decoded Dolby D or E audio from the second decode/transcode path (Decode 2/Encode 2 in
the block diagram) to embedded audio on SDI outputs A1 and A2.
Note:
The MC2000-IQ unit does not have unbalanced AES inputs or outputs.

Conversion Functions
Modes SD/HD/3Gb/s motion compensated standards conversion
Up, down, and cross conversion
Conversion Linear/motion compensated
Conversion processing Still process: Detects still images and applies an aperture with full (progressive)
vertical frequency response
Enhanced still: Adds field motion detection to still process. Prevents artifacts on
moving repetitive patterns

Audio Functions
Analog audio Four pairs of analog inputs, individually available to any or all processing channels
Two groups (two pairs) of analog outputs, separately assignable to any processing
channel
Headroom: +24 dBu, balanced connection
AES audio Four AES audio inputs, individually available to any or all processing channels
Four AES audio outputs (48 kHz), separately assignable to any processing channel
AES input is auto-detected as PCM (32 to 96 kHz) or non-PCM (48 kHz locked to
relevant video input)
Embedded audio Each processing channel includes 16-channel embedded audio processing
PCM audio processing includes channel-level gain and delay compensation, as well
as pair level routing with L/R swap and phase invert feature
Non-PCM processing features pair level routing and delay compensation. Dolby E
data is passed with a delay to match the video and with co-timed audio frame drop or
repeat
Dolby E MC1000/MC1000-IQ: Optional single channel Dolby E decode/transcode
MC2000/MC2000-IQ: Optional one or two channels of Dolby E decode/transcode
Throughput delay
Video processing delay
field = 16.7 or 20 ms

With scaling active in same frame rate:
Ref lock / Free run between 3 and 5 fields + ~200 us, Input lock (SDI) 3 fields + 1 ms
With same standard in & out and Sync mode = Enabled:
Ref lock / Free run between ~200us and 1 frame + ~200 us, Input lock (SDI) ~1 ms
Frame rate conversion:
Any lock mode, 110 ms typical
Audio processing delay
(Audio delay = 0 ms)
With scaling active in same frame rate:

With same standard in & out and Sync mode = Enabled:
Ref lock / Free run 0.5 frames, Input lock ~3ms
