� Functions and features of KMU-100

KMU-100 is an advanced video converter that allows processing and conversion of UHD signals (3840x2160), for example: 12G SDI or HDMI 2 0 into four or eight different high-quality streams, at resolutions up to FullHD. KMU has got two independent conversion channels!

This enables simultaneous and parallel processing of two UHD signal sources – 3840x2160, the input signals are converted into eight 3G SDI outputs, which can be additionally synchronized to a Genlock input.

This solution is ideal for professionals who deal with production and broadcasting of video materials using a variety of sources and signal types. It is perfect to apply both on the set and during the life coverage of events.

In addition, KMU-100 converter is really easy to use. A complete software is provided with the device, and the control over all its functions and parameters is exercised via a LAN connected computer with the application installed. The small size of the device, its user-friendly interface, and the support with DV Link platform also positively influence converter’s usability and user experience.

� How does KMU-100 operate?

KMU-100 is able to simultaneously convert signals from two video inputs with resolutions up to UHD (3840x2160). It supports a variety of video formats and enables the connection of signal sources in the form of SDI and HDMI, including 12G SDI and HDMI 2 0 technologies.

The output signals are as many as 8 channels. They are created for each channel by indicating an active area from the area of the device’s input signals. These areas are defined in the application installed on a computer connected to the KMU-100 device via LAN.

The definition of the area, which will determine the output content, is nothing more than a simple positioning of a rectangle in the MultiViewer preview for a given channel, and that, of course, against the background of the device’s input signal. Each of the rectangles is marked with a different border color. For one of the channels you can scale the signal from full 4K resolution to FullHD, and there is up and down scaling (zoom) possible for all other outputs. The output area (position of each rectangle) may be a function of a variable, which means in constant motion. For each rectangle, there are simple motions available, you just need to select one of the available modes. The scope of all the settings and the end positions are defined in the application in a user friendly interface.

The areas defined by the rectangles create 8 SDI outputs (2 x 4 or 1 x 8). Two multiviewer (HDMI or SDI) outputs are used for preview and for device’s configuration.

KMU-100 means multiple applications and uses, as this device allows for a variety of effects that will satisfy every professional engaged in production, broadcasting and also events’ live coverage with the use of audiovisual materials!

Capabilities, functionalities and applications

KMU-100 – is a bridge connecting 4K technologies with current video systems solutions. This device has a very wide range of applications in virtually every area where the high quality image preview is required, – like sporting events, industrial automation, visual effects used during all kinds of live events or postproduction.

Below, you can find several applications shown as examples of possible uses of our device:

� Image production and postproduction

KMU-100’s capabilities are perfect for, among others, video image postproduction. The material is recorded with one or two video cameras at 4K resolution.

With KMU-100, you can not only change the composition, but also the shots. The end result will resemble the usage of several cameras, and, with your mixer’s help, the transitions between them will be smooth and natural. At the same time, this solution allows for the material to be realized by a single camera operator – thus allowing the reduction of production costs. And the resulting material will still be of a high quality and FullHD resolution, as if it was realized by several operators.

� Creating a video wall

Video walls are a modern and increasingly popular solution used in entertainment, advertising, marketing, and special events. With its capability to separate the signal from 4K inputs, KMU-100 converter is an excellent tool for creating a video wall by multiplying the signal from one or two 4K sources.

7


And a video wall created with two KMU-100 devices attains a resolution of 8K!

8


� The highest quality in security systems

KMU is an invaluable tool in creating a top-notch security systems. It allows you to get eight 3G HD outputs from a single 4K camera.

As KMU-100 processes the signal in real time, you obtain the effect of 8 high-quality mobile video cameras – but without their actual movement.

This way, the converter provides both new opportunities and the possibilities to cut down the costs by reducing the number of actual video cameras and cables, while simultaneously increasing precision and quality in capturing all the important details.

9


� Trigger – connecting a device triggering a specific KMU-100 4K

Thanks to the GPIO connector, you can connect to your converter the external devices that automatically trigger a specific KMU-100 4K Multi-camera unit process.

There are 8 inputs assigned for each of the windows, which means you also have 8 outputs at your disposal. Such functionality has a huge number of applications for various industries and types of recorded material.

For instance - in safety systems: when a person comes to a specific location, a signal can direct a camera to the specified area. Similarly, for example, in the amusement park - it may be used to automatically record ‚an adventure’ at the most important attractions as a souvenir for the participants. During a football match, the camera can automatically zoom to the goal, when a ball (or a player) is in the vicinity.

And during the fashion show, in a specific place of the catwalk a full figure of a model can be shown, from top to bottom, revealing all the details of presented creations. (picture below)

There are endless possibilities!

10


� Joystick – additional possibilities of controlling your virtual camera

This functionality additionally significantly increases the utilization of KMU-100 4K Multi-camera unit converter’s capabilities. A joystick in the external RMC 185 panel allows the operator to control the virtual camera manually within the selected window. Thus, in each of the eight virtual camera windows, both the software settings - for automatic control, as well as the manual control - using a joystick, can be used

One of the effects possible to achieve in this manner is a dynamic shooting with keeping track of a chosen object or an important area. With the joystick, you can quickly and dynamically react to the occurring changes and capture all the relevant details.

All the position changes are shown in a graphic form at the MultiViewer outputs, which makes using the joystick function very simple here. RMC 185 panel allows you to control multiple KMU-100 functions without having to use the control software on your computer. Both in the case of operators’ preferences and in many fields of application, it will undoubtedly be appreciated by the users due to the speed and ease of use.

With such functionalities, KMU-100 4K Multi-camera unit with a single operator can act as almost an entire film studio. Shooting, for example, a concert may gain more dynamics and individual character. (picture below)

DV Link

A platform that unites all!

DV Link platform is a very simple and useful software developed for configuration, diagnostics and control of multiple devices (for example four KMU-100 converters) communicating through a common DVIP protocol.

A camera operator or operators can easily change the functions of each of the visible devices or a group by triggering the pre-defined presets, without the need to use the main application for KMU management. This way, DV Link application allows for quick reconfiguration of the equipment, for example for a specific or a following task.

DV Link platform connects multiple devices to control them in a single application.

25


� App’s windows description: Channel A and Channel B

Channel A (Channel B description is exactly the same).

This tab is used for defining the way the input signal is divided into 4 different outputs. Is it done by drawing 4 different windows: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Content of the area bordered by each rectangle will be send to a corresponding output.

The Channel A screen window can be divided into 5 areas: 1 Menu area, 2 Central work area, 3 Settings (control) area of windows 1, 2, 3 or 4 and 4 Preview on the monitors area – Multiviewer 5 Presets (image below).

26


1. Menu area – Channel A icon’s orange color indicates the work on this screen. Clicking the Channel B icon will switch the application’s screen to the settings of the second channel. Menu area is described in detail on page 32.

2. Central work area – allows the definition of windows which are connected with the outputs.

To improve UI clarity, every output is available in a separate tab: 1 Frame… 4 Frame

Window’s size and position can be set with mouse clicks (on central work area) or by writing the exact size/position in settings area located on the right side. Window’s size – can be indicated in the central work area by catching on any corner or edge of the window frame with the cursor. The window proportions are almost always retained – the rectangle is cut in 16:9 aspect ratio. Only output formats : PAL and NTSC are cut in 4:3 aspect ratio.

Size of Window 1 is unrestricted – you can select it up to the input’s format, even 4K. See the image below (current position and size)

Windows 2, 3 and 4 support resolution up to 1080p and application does not allow to extend it more. A double click on the edited window will select it into max available size, the second double click will restore it to its previous size. Aspect ratio is defined by the output’s resolution and automatically applied to window’s definition.

27


You can set a graphical background for the gray workspace of Central work area, which will help you with positioning of the windows.

By pressing the Load background icon, the background is loaded as a screenshot of an actual image from KMU-100 input (image below).

So far we’ve covered windows 1, 2, 3 and 4 defined as fixed (stationary) in their Start positions. In addition, for each window 1, 2, 3 or 4 an motion can be defined.

Window’s motion is possible for every rectangle. You just need to select the size and position of Start rectangle and Stop rectangle The positions and the sizes of Start and Stop windows can be defined with cursor or by indicating the positions in the settings area: Current position and size and Destination position and size.

If you want to set the final window’s position exactly in the place the start window is, you need to use the From Current button. In the picture below, you can see Start window and Stop window overlapping (in identical positions).

28


Stop rectangle is drawn in dash mode. In the picture below, you can see the Start rectangle indicated by a red arrow and the Stop rectangle – by a yellow arrow.

Motion modes. You can select the motion mode in the settings area. The available options are: Single – single passage Start-Stop; Loop – cyclical passage Start-Stop, Start-Stop; Ping-Pong – cyclical passage Start-Stop, Stop-Start, Start-Stop and so on (swinging motion).

29


Trig Loop, Trig Ping-Pong, Trig Double Ping-Pong – single pass: Start-Stop, Stop-Start.

Trig. motion triggered by a signal from outside the KMU-100 device. You will see the motion as a movement of the virtual camera window.

In addition to changing the window’s position, you can define change of its size – effectively realizing a zoom function (as in the picture with arrows: the Stop window has much smaller size than the Start window).

For the selected motion, you can choose from three defined speed modes: slow, medium or fast. You can also set the exact speed with the slider or customize the animation speed by clicking the up-down arrows or enter the desired value using the keyboard. See the image below

After selecting the size and position of start and stop window, motion type and its speed, you can start the motion by clicking Play motion (as in the picture above).

4. Preview on the monitors area – Multiviewer

You can choose from among the following Multiviewer preview on the monitors’ modes: Preview, Motion, Quad view.

Settings preview on the live input is possible only with the Multiviewer out There are three modes of Multiviewer outputs:

30


Preview – Four rectangles in Current position visible on the live input. In the picture below, window 4 covers the entire screen

The inscription on the window frame informs us about its resolution. For example, the number 1080 means 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution, that is Full HD image quality. From this resolution the system scales the image to the pre-set output resolution. If the frame’s resolution is 1080, and the output resolution is 720 that is HD, the system will be scaling the image down. On the other hand, if the resolution of the frame was set to 720, and output of the system to 1080, then the system will be scaling up.

Motion preview – there are Start, Current and Stop rectangles visible on the live input, but only for the selected 1, 2, 3 or 4 tab. The picture below depicts the area of window 1.

31


Quad view – a preview of the content of four outputs (picture below)

32


Swap – using these options allows you to set which preview will be displayed on which Multiviewer monitor (swap places).

Function Swap is visible in the Channel Screen window (Channel A or Channel B icon is on), but also in the Connection Screen area (Connection icon is on).

3 Menu areaIn the upper left section of your screen, there is a Menu bar. You can find the three main options there: File, Options, and Help, along with the previously discussed buttons launching Connection, Channel A and Channel B screens.

y 3G SDI output type: allows you to set type A or type B signal at the 3G SDI output;

y Firmware: allows you to check the current version of the software and download the latest one;

y Network configuration: allows you to choose between two modes of connection configuration: Automatic configuration or Static configuration. In the case of the latter, you have to manually enter the static parameters (IP address, IP mask, Gateway) obtained from your network administrator. Once entered the settings can be saved. You can set your own default address in the Static Parameters section. Then, if the network cannot find the IP address assigned by DHCP from the router or from the other device, then this default address will be set. If you don’t write your own IP address, the IP address 192.168.1.10 will be always set automatically.

34


y Triggers: Function Triggers are used to triggered the motion of Frames by a signal from outside the KMU-100 device. By using Change icon user can select the type of trigger: a rising edge or a falling edge. (picture below)

A rising edge (positive edge) is the transition from low to high. When a motion is rising edge-triggered, it becomes active when its clock signal goes from low to high, (eg. pressing a button) and ignores the high-to-low transition. A falling edge (negative edge) is the high to low transition. When a motion is falling edge-triggered, it becomes active when the clock signal goes from high to low ( eg. releasing a button) and ignores the low-to-high transition.

The user can select the first or second type of trigger. The icons will be highlighted in orange.

y Temperatures: the temperatures of FPGA and Main Board are monitored on an ongoing basis.

5 Presets areaPresets area is located at the bottom of the screen (see the image below).

After setting the properties of windows, their positions, motion modes, motion speed, signal inputs and outputs, video formats, Multiviewer options , Tally status , Genlock status etc. , these settings can be saved as a Presets directly on your KMU-100. By using the icons: Preset 1... 4 you can quickly load an existing preset file from one of the device’s four slots: Slot 1 to 4. By using Save Preset icon you can save the current project to a preset file in one of the device’s four slots: Slot 1 to 4. You can name your new preset as you want.

Presets area is visible in the Channel Screen window (Channel A or Channel B icon is on), but also in the Connection Screen area (Connection icon is on). This allows you to access the presets immediately at the device’s configuration stage.

Processing

Two independent channels

Outputs definition Each channel has a definition of four rectangles indicating the way the input signal is divided into 4 different outputs. It is done by outlining 4 different windows: 1, 2, 3 and 4 (5, 6, 7 and 8). The content bordered by each window will be sent to a corresponding output.

Windows motionMotion is possible for every rectangle. User selects the size and position of Start and Stop rectangle. Motion modes available: Single-single passage Start-Stop, Loop – cyclic pass Start-Stop, Start-Stop, Ping-Pong – cyclic pass Start-Stop, Stop-Start, Start-Stop, Trig. Loop , Trig. Ping-Pong and Trig. Double Ping-Pong - single pass: Start-Stop, Stop-Start.

Trig. motion triggered by a signal from outside the KMU -100 device.

Multiviewer outputLive preview of the selected outputs:

y Preview – four rectangles in Start position on the live input,

y Motion preview – Start, Current and Stop rectangles visible on the live input, but only for the selected 1, 2, 3 or 4 tab,

y Quad view – preview of the content of four outputs,
