Mains Power Supplies

This equipment has two 3-pin IEC power sockets, one for the main power supply unit and one

for the redundant power supply unit.

The power supply is auto switching for input voltages in the ranges of 100 V to 240 V nominal.

No voltage adjustment procedure is required.

Laser Safety

EN60825-1 (2001)

Safety of Laser Products

Ventilation

Although the unit is constructed to meet normal environmental requirements, ensure that

there is a free flow of air at the front, rear, and sides of the unit to dissipate the heat produced

during operation. Installations should be designed to allow for this.

• This equipment has more than one power supply. To reduce the risk of electric

shock, plug each power supply into separate branch circuits employing separate

service grounds.

• Before performing any servicing or maintenance, disconnect and isolate the unit

from the mains input and from any product outputs.

• Do not operate this unit without an earth connection.

• Caution: use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than

those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Viewing the

laser diode with the optical fiber removed and with the aid of optical magnifiers may

be hazardous.

• This product is a Class 1 laser product (output power <15mW) at 1270 nm to

1610 nm with a beam divergence >30 mrad.

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the right-side of the unit. Damage to the equipment

may result.

EMC Environment

The product(s) described in this manual conform to the EMC requirements for, and are

intended for use in, the controlled EMC environment (for example, purpose-built broadcasting

or recording studios), and the rural outdoor environment (far away from railways, transmitters,

overhead power lines, etc.) E4.

EMC Performance of Cables and Connectors

Snell products are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the appropriate European

EMC standards. In order to achieve this performance in real installations it is essential to use

cables and connectors with good EMC characteristics.

All signal connections (including remote control connections) shall be made with screened

cables terminated in connectors having a metal shell. The cable screen shall have a

large-area contact with the metal shell.

Coaxial Cables

Coaxial cables connections (particularly serial digital video connections) shall be made with

high-quality double-screened coaxial cables such as Belden 1694 or BBC type PSF1/2M.

D-type Connectors

D-type connectors shall have metal shells making good RF contact with the cable screen.

Connectors having “dimples” which improve the contact between the plug and socket shells

are recommended.

Up, Down, and Cross Conversion

Conversion Linear/Motion Adaptive

Conversion Processing Still Process: Detects still images and applies an aperture with full

(progressive) vertical frequency response

Enhanced Still: Adds field motion detection to still process. Prevents

artefacts on moving repetitive patterns.

Clean Cut: Prevents temporal filtering across scene changes.

compensation, as well as pair level routing with L/R swap and phase

invert feature

Throughput Delay

Video Processing Delay

Field = 16.7 or 20ms

Frame = 33.3 or 40ms

With scaling active in same frame rate:

Ref lock/Free run between 3 and 5 fields + ~200us,

Input lock (SDI) 3 fields + 1ms

*With scaling active with 525 59i output:

Ref lock/Free run between 2 and 4 fields + ~200us,

Input lock (SDI) 2 fields + 1ms

*Throughput delay increases with low frame rate (<=30Hz) inputs or

outputs

With same standard in and out and Sync mode = Enabled:

Ref lock/Free run between ~200us and 1 frame + ~200us,

Input lock (SDI) ~1ms

Frame rate conversion:

Any lock mode, 110ms typical

Audio Processing Delay Automatically tracks the video processing delay

3. Installation

3.1 Unpacking the Unit

The unit is packed in a single cardboard box. Unpack the box carefully and check for any

shortages or shipping damage. Report any shortages or shipping damage to Snell

immediately.

The box contains the following items:

• Kudos LC300/LC350 unit

3.2 Rack Mounting the Unit

Ensure that sufficient space is available for the unit.

When installing the unit, place on a suitably specified and installed rack shelf and secure the

unit using the front rack ears.

3.3 Ventilation

Ensure that there is a free flow of air at the front, rear, and sides of the unit to dissipate the

heat produced during operation. Installations should be designed to allow for this.

Important:

Refer to “Safety Information” page 3 before installing and connecting power to the unit.

Note:

Retain any product packaging as it may be required if returning the unit to Snell.

Important:

Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the right-side of the unit. Damage to the equipment

may result.

4.3 Input and Output Connections

4.4 Fiber Connectivity

A dual fiber port is available as an option. The port can be configured as one of the following:

• Dual receiver (RX/RX).

• Dual transmitter (TX/TX).

• Transceiver (RX/TX).

• Not fitted.

Label Description Connector

SDI in A1, A2 SDI inputs 2 x BNC

SDI out A1, A2 SDI outputs 2 x BNC

Network 10/100 BaseT Ethernet connection 1 x RJ45

Reference* Reference input 2 x BNC

*If one of the reference connectors is not in use it must be fitted with a 75 Ohm BNC

terminating plug. If not terminated correctly, genlock performance may be degraded.

Monitor** HDMI output 1 x HDMI

**HDMI monitor output is not available for 720 23p, 24p, 25p, 29p and 30p

or 3G 1080 50p, 59p, 60p level B.

Option I/O*** Signal input/output 1 x dual SFP compatible

***The option sockets allow for up to two dual Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)

transceiver modules. The SFP modules can be used to add optional fiber connectivity, or

optional I/O using HD BNC connectors.
