Configuring the Kayenne Switcher
To establish a serial connection between the switcher and your multiviewer, you need to
identify the serial port you wish to use for tally contribution in the switcher’s Engineering
Setups, by using the Kayenne touch screen menu panel or the Kayenne Menu application.
To set up the Kayenne switcher
1 Physically connect one end of an RJ-45 straight cable to the multiviewer’s RS-422 port.
2 Using a DE-9S-to-RJ-45 crossover adapter (Miranda part no. 1792-3700-100), connect
the other end of the cable to one of the 8 RS-422 control ports on the Kayenne Video
Processor Frame. The illustration below shows the location of the RS-422 ports on a
4RU Kayenne frame. The RS-422 ports (highlighted) are numbered 1 – 8, from top to
bottom.
The 8 RS-422 control ports at the back of a Kayenne Video
Processor frame have DE-9 female connectors. When any of
them is designated as the tally contribution port, it is
automatically configured with the following pinout:
3 On the Kayenne touch screen menu panel, touch the Eng Setup menu button, the
Ports & Devices category button, and then the Serial Tally Ports tab.
The Serial Tally Ports menu appears.
