KAM-HD-MULTI—Instruction Manual 9
Kameleon HD/SD
Multi-Function Module
Introduction
The Kameleon HD modules are part of the Grass Valley Kameleon Media
Processing System family of products. They offer an ideal solution for high
definition and serial digital video processing, frame synchronization, color
correction, video processing, audio processing, and timing. This manual
covers installation, configuration, and operation of the
KAM-HD/SD-MULTI-Function module.
Features offered in these modules include:
• SD video rates of:
• 480i/59.94 or 576i/50
• HD video rates of:
• HD 59.94: 1080i or 720p,
• HD 50: 1080i or 720p, and
• HD 24: 1080sf or 1080p
• Two different rear module types:
•KAM-HD-MULTI-BRwithbalanced AES/EBU audio connectors,
or
• KAM-HD-MULTI-UR with unbalanced AES/EBU connectors
(including audio breakout cables),
• HD/SD video processing for brightness, contrast, saturation and hue,
• Frame synchronization with horizontal and vertical timing delay
adjustments,
• Minimum delay mode to allow the minimum amount of delay through
the module when input is synchronous and aligned with genlock refer-
ence to the module,
• Split Screen (horizontal or vertical) output mode,
• Auto and Manual Freeze controls,
• HD/SD color correction and gamma adjustments,

10 KAM-HD-MULTI—Instruction Manual
System Requirements
• Color bars test signal generator,
• Audio inputs and outputs on the rear modules are configurable as one
of the following:
• 8 inputs/0 outputs
• 4 inputs/4 outputs
• 0 inputs/8 outputs
• Up to eight streams of input audio selectable for synchronization, then
multiplexed into the output video stream and/or sent to available AES
audio outputs on the rear module,
• Four audio preset E-MEMs for auto setup of configuration,
• Four streams of the selected audio may be paired and processed for
multiplexing into the output audio stream and/or sent to available AES
audio outputs,
• Audio Disruption Processing to remove possible audio disruption from
the AES stream when video is switched upstream,
•DolbyEbypass,
• Newton Modular Control Panel interface,
• NetConfig support, and
• SNMP support – remote monitoring.
System Requirements
Operation of the Kameleon HD modules in 2000 Series frames has the fol-
lowing hardware and software requirements:
• Modules must be installed in a 2000T1DNG or 2000T3DNG Kameleon
2000 Series frame containing a 2000GEN module.
Existing Kameleon frames can be upgraded with the necessary
modules and software for proper operation. Contact your sales repre-
sentative for more information.
• The frame must have a 2000NET module with assembly number
671-5231-01 or later running software version 4.0.0 or later.
• KAM-HD-MULTI Function operation requires a Kameleon HD module
with assembly number 671-6514-20.
• The dual height KAM-HD-MULTI-UR Rear (Figure 7 on page 15 for
unbalanced audio inputs) or KAM-HD-MULTI-BR Rear (Figure 8 on
page 15 for balanced audio inputs) is required for this module.
Note If the wrong rear module is installed, the module will not be operable.
