Precautions
Health and Safety Precautions:
Only qualified professionals are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device. Read the Users Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedures when setting up the device. Do not open your Kyrion or attempt to disassemble or modify it, unless instructed by an ATEME representative. To avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, shortcircuiting or dangerous emissions, never insert any metallic object into the enclosure. Your Kyrion contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified ATEME Technical Support representative. Never expose your device to rain, use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing liquids on the Kyrion, as they may spill into its openings; doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury. Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the system from damage : Be aware of where the On/Off power switch is situated on the chassis; as well as the racks emergency power off- switch. Check where the disconnection switch or electrical outlet is located. Do not work alone when working with high voltage components. Power should always be disconnected from the system before opening it. When disconnecting the power, you should first power down the system and unplug the power cords of the power supply. Use only the provided power supply cord to power the Kyrion. This power supply cord includes a grounding plug that must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet. If you should use a different power supply cord, make sure it is compatible with your local electrical power supply. A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this always plug a ground cord to the ground terminal at the back of the system before using it. This product contains a lithium battery: extreme caution should be taken if this battery needs to be replaced if the onboard battery is installed upside down polarities will be reversed and there will be a risk of explosion. This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

6.2.Web-based Manager
The Kyrion includes an embedded web server that provides management through a universal interface that is accessible from anywhere on the network. The graphical Web based interface features the following: Display of the Kyrions physical condition: Temperature, fan speeds and other environmental parameters of the chassis are all logged in an easy-toread format allowing for a quick assessment of the system working order. Lower control monitoring: You can reboot the system by remote control. Easy Configuration management: You can save up to 10 Configuration files with clear names and re-use them after reboot. On the fly changes on Video/Audio parameters: You can set new parameters on-the-fly. The Kyrion will stop and re-start encoding without the need for you to manually perform the action. Advanced parameters handling: The Web interface allows you to control the Filters (3:2 pulldown, aspect ratio, gains, delay, resizing, re-sampling,) on both Audio and Video Muxer Service configuration: Use and create services with PIDs, Encoder Advanced tuning options: Profile, rate control, bitrate, GOP, CPB size, Look ahead, deblocking, entropy, B-frame, Psycho-visual enhancement, copyright flag insertion, etc To connect the Kyrion system interface to a management computer through the Ethernet connection: Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight through Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch. Configure both the management computer and Kyrionto be on the same subnet. To do this, two solutions are possible: Change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.128.2 (for example) and the netmask to 255.255.255.0 or Change the Kyrion network parameters to match your network architecture. Since you are not starting on the same sub-nets, you must use the front panel interface at first boot. Note: To access the Kyrion web-based manager, start any Web browser and browse to http://192.168.128.1 This is the Factory default IP address of the MGT port.

The parameters are not applied to the encoder; they just displayed in the corresponding fields of the parameters. Imported files are physically located on your remote computer and therefore named as External Configuration, from the Kyrion point of view. Load: will reset all current parameters of the Encoder with the one stored in the configuration file that you can choose within the associated drop-box. The parameters are not applied to the encoder. They are just displayed in the corresponding fields of the parameters. Loaded files are physically stored on the Kyrion itself and therefore named as Know Configurations. Apply: will stop the encoder, reprogram it with the current displayed parameters, and then restart the encoder. Export: will store the current displayed parameters into the configuration shown in the drop-box. Rename: allows you to change the name of a given configuration, if needed. Configuration names are limited to 32 letters.
WARNING: If parameters have been changed using the front panel interface, you need to have previously updated your browsers web pages to guarantee that the displayed fields are up to date, before editing and saving.

8. Troubleshooting
8.1.Case 1: Problem with an Update package
When Updating the Package, the Kyrion reboots but the revision number remains the same. This can occur when the lithium battery of the Kyrion is empty or if the BIOS as been accidentally lost. In that situation, the system date is reset at boot to year 2000 and the package date is tagged as invalid by the device. If this is the case, you can verify the problem by checking the Log messages on the Status page. To solve this issue, you have 2 solutions. First solution: Activate the NTP synchronization in the System Tab or force the time and date of the system by manually inputting the correct value. Restart the Encoder in order to get an entry in the Log file, to be sure that the NTP server as been reached or that your manual adjustment has been taken into account. The Log should display the correct date. After 1 minute, the update should start automatically. o If it doesnt, go to the System page and perform the update again. Second solution: Contact your dealer to receive a replacement Lithium battery for the Kyrion.

Glossary
Packet
A packet is the basic unit of data in a transport stream. It consists of a sync byte, whose value is 0x47, followed by three one-bit flags and a 13-bit PID. This is followed by a 4-bit continuity counter. Additional optional transport fields, as signalled in the optional adaptation field, may follow. The rest of the packet consists of payload. Packets are most often 188 bytes in length, but some transport streams consist of 204-byte packets which end in 16 bytes of ReedSolomon error correction data. The 188-byte packet size was originally chosen for compatibility with ATM systems[1].
PID
Each table or elementary stream in a transport stream is identified by a 13-bit PID. A demultiplexer extracts elementary streams from the transport stream in part by looking for packets identified by the same PID. In most applications, Time-division multiplexing will be used to decide how often a particular PID appears in the transport stream.
Programs
Transport stream has a concept of programs, which are groups of one or more PIDs that are related to each other. For instance, a transport stream used in digital television might contain three programs, to represent three television channels. Suppose each channel consists of one video stream, one or two audio streams, and any necessary metadata. A receiver wishing to tune to a particular "channel" merely has to decode the payload of the PIDs associated with its program. It can discard the contents of all other PIDs.
PAT
PAT stands for Program Association Table. The PAT lists PIDs for all PMTs in the stream. Packets containing PAT information always have PID 0x0.
PMT
Program Map Tables, or PMTs, contain information about programs. For each program, there is a PMT, with the PMT for each program appearing on its own PID. The PMTs describe which PIDs contain data relevant to the program. PMTs also provide metadata about the streams in their constituent PIDs. For example, if a program contains an MPEG-2 video stream, the PMT will list this PID, describe it as a video stream, and provide the type of video that it contains (in this case, MPEG-2). The PMT may also contain additional descriptors providing data about its constituent streams.
PCR
To assist the decoder in presenting programs on time, at the right speed, and with synchronization, programs usually periodically provide a Program Clock Reference, or PCR, on one of the PIDs in the program.
Null packets
Some transmission schemes, such as those in ATSC and DVB, impose strict constant bitrate requirements on the transport stream. In order to ensure that the stream maintains a constant bitrate, a Multiplexer may need to insert some additional packets. The PID 0x1FFF is reserved for this purpose. The payload of null packets may contain any data at all, and the receiver is expected to ignore its contents
MIB
Management information basestems from the OSI/ISONetwork management model and is a type of database used to manage the devices in a communications network. It comprises a collection of objects in a (virtual) database used to manage entities (such as routers and switches) in a network. Objects in the MIB are defined using a subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) called "Structure of Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2)" RFC 2578.The software that performs the parsing is an MIB compiler.

SNMP:
SNMP, a communication protocol between management stations (consoles, for example) and managed objects, (such as routers, gateways, and switches) makes use of MIBs. Components controlled by the management console need a so-called SNMP agent -- a software module that can communicate with the SNMP manager. SNMP uses a specified set of commands and queries. An MIB should contain information on these commands and on the target objects (controllable entities or potential sources of status information) with a view to tuning the network transport to the current needs.
3:2 pulldown
The process of converting 24 frame/s material to 29.97 frame/s is known as 3:2 pulldown. The term pulldown comes from the mechanical process of pulling the film down to advance it from one frame to the next at a repetitive rate (nominally 24 fps). This is accomplished in two steps. The first step is to slow down the film motion by 1/1.001. This speed change is unnoticeable to the viewer, and makes the film travel at 23.976 frame/s.
23.976 4 = 29.97 5
The second step of the 3:2 pulldown is the 3:2 (or 2:3, see below) step. At 23.976 frame/s, there are four frames of film for every five frames of NTSC video: These four frames are stretched into five by exploiting the interlaced nature of NTSC video. For every NTSC frame, there are actually two complete images or fields, one for the oddnumbered lines of the image, and one for the even-numbered lines. There are, therefore, ten fields for every 4 film frames, and the telecine alternately places one film frame across two fields, the next across three, the next across two, and so on.
www.ateme.com
Page 62 / 64
Note that the pattern in this example is actually 23. A 32 pattern is identical to this except that it is shifted by one frame. For instance, starting with film frame B, followed by frame C, yields a 32 pattern (B-B-B-C-C). In other words, there is no difference between the two it is only a matter of reference. The above method is a "classic" 3:2, which was used before frame buffers allowed for holding more than one frame. The preferred method for doing a 3:2, creates only one dirty frame in every 5, while this method has a slight bit more judder, it allows for easier up conversion, and a better overall compression when encoding. Display frame 1 and 2 for two fields each, and then frame 3 for three fields, and frame 4 for 3 fields. Honoring the original spatial placement of the fields. This results in Frame 4 of the new 5 frames being dirty.
