KayakDD-1 Cabling
Control Cabling
Figure 8. KayakDD-1 Standard Control Cabling
The KayakDD-1 system uses Ethernet, serial, parallel, and USB connec-
tions. Tally and GPI/O control are also available. A simple KayakDD-1
system consisting of a Control Panel and Video Processor frame uses point-
to-point connections and does not require connection to an external
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).
Note The point to point connection between the Control Panel and Video Processor
frame require swapped Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) pairs. This is nor-
mally achieved with a crossover LAN cable or an Uplink port on a switch or
hub. The LAN cable supplied with the KayakDD system is a crossover cable.
A KayakDD system requires a LAN when components besides a Control
Panel and Video Processor frame are connected, or when external network
access to a file system is desired. An appropriately sized Ethernet switch
will be required. An existing facility Ethernet switch (not hub) can support
KayakDD if an adequate number of ports are available. Keep your facility
network and technical network separate in order to avoid network traffic
negatively affecting KayakDD system operation. An Ethernet hub or
switch will be necessary if cable runs exceed allowable maximums.

Table 1 details Ethernet specifications. All Ethernet components are to be
supplied by the customer.
Video Cabling
All KayakDD system video inputs and Aux outputs are configurable. For
cabling configuration flexibility, each input can be mapped to any
KayakDD panel source select button, and any KayakDD system video
signal can be mapped to any AUX output connectors.
Inputs
Non-looping video inputs on the back of the Video Processor frame are
numbered 1 through 16. Each receives a 270 MHz serial digital video signal.
Each input can be mapped to any KayakDD panel source select button.
Outputs
The KayakDD frame provides dedicated program and preview video
output connectors for the M/E. The main program output signal is avail-
able on two BNC connectors. All other outputs are available on one BNC
connector only. Any KayakDD video source can be routed to any Aux bus
output (1 through 10).
Reference Input
The looping reference input accepts analog 525 or 625 composite video.
Burst is not required, but typically facility reference color black is used.
KayakDD can auto-sense whether the reference is 525 or 625 and can
change the internal standard accordingly.
