KARRERA K-FRAME — Installation & Service Manual 85
ClipStore Cabling
Any source fed to the switcher must be within the autotiming range of all
six time zones. If not, the source will be in time on some MEs but not on
others. As illustrated in the figure, a source centered in one time zone’s
autotiming range can be too early or late for other switcher time zones.
If a signal falls just outside the autotiming window, that image will be
shifted one line up or down. On SD systems a shift of one line could be
easily seen, but on higher resolution systems the lines are so narrow that a
single line shift may be difficult to observe.
ClipStore Cabling
Overview
The Karrera K-Frame system uses an Ethernet connection for communica-
tions with ClipStore (K2 Summit/Solo,
Figure 48 on page 73 ). Connect an
Ethernet cable from the Karrera K-Frame, either directly or through a ded-
icated Ethernet switch, to the bottom left (of the four) 100BT/1000BT
Ethernet ports on the Summit/Solo backplane.
Note For a detailed cabling description, see the K2 Summit/Solo manuals included
in the packaging.
ClipStore Video Cabling
The ClipStore channels on the server backplane are labeled C1-C4
(Channel 1 through Channel 4 on the Summit) from left to right (
Figure 56 ).
The Solo backplane is not labeled, Channel 1 is on the left and Channel 2 is
on the right when facing the backplane.
ClipStore requires SDI connections for both video and key— two connec-
tions In/Out per channel (C1 in
Figure 56 ) for recording and playback. For
