Installation in the Densité Frame
The KMX-3901-IN input cards and the KMX-3901-OUT output cards can be installed in a
Densité
3, Densité 3+ FR1, or Densité 3+ FR4 frame, depending on the rear connector
panels you ordered. The KMX-3901-IN IP input/output cards and their associated rear
connector panels must be installed in a Densité 3+ FR4 frame. It is not necessary to switch
off the frame’s power when installing or removing a card. For detailed instructions on
installing cards and their associated rear panels for initial deployment, please consult the
Kaleido-Modular-X Quick Start Guide that shipped with your system.
Ventilation
In a
Densité
3
frame, ventilation for the frame is provided by a fan mounted in the center of
the rear panel. In a
Densité 3+ FR1
frame, ventilation is provided by two fans, one located
at each end of the rear panel. In a
Densité 3+ FR4
frame, ventilation is provided by two fan
assemblies, each containing three fans, located on each side in the top section of the rear
panel. The fans draw air through the frame and exhaust it to the rear. Ventilation slots in the
front panel allow air to flow into the frame, and an air filter is mounted in the frame door.
The frame-mounted fans are supplemented by thermostatically-controlled fans mounted
in each power supply. They are not field-serviceable.
Cable type
Purpose
CAT-5
For Ethernet connectivity
Display cables
To connect the multiviewer’s HDMI outputs to displays:
• Standard HDMI cables
• Extension modules—for example, Grass Valley’s DXF-200 DVI/HDMI
Optical Extension System:
• part number DXF-200-B, for output cards with a double rear
connector panel (KMX-3901-OUT-D-3DRP)
• part number DXF-200-C, for output cards with a single rear
connector panel (KMX-3901-OUT-D-3+SRP)
To connect the multiviewer’s SDI outputs to displays:
• Standard coaxial cables with DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors
• SDI to HDMI 2.0 (or SDI to DisplayPort) converter—for example, AJA’s
Hi5-4K Mini-Converter (firmware version 2.2 or later)
Video cables
Standard coaxial cables with DIN 1.0/2.3 connectors
Note:
On all Kaleido multiviewers, the network adapters are set to auto-
negotiate. By default, the connection speed and duplex mode will be set
automatically based on the corresponding port settings on the switch.
IMPORTANT
To ensure proper cooling, the front panel of the Densité frame must be
closed at all times when cards are installed and operating.
