FAQ: KMU-100 and RMC-185


We were presented with some great KMU-100 questions from our customers, so we thought we should share this technical information.  Here are a few FAQ's for the KMU-100 and the RMC-185 controller:


Q:  We plan to put the KMU-100 in a studio rack.  How loud is it? 
A:  At boot up about 60 db, but once the temperature level is detected the fans will cycle down to about 56db. (Less than a conversation in a quiet restaurant)


Q:  What is the AC current draw of the unit?  Specs give 12v/5a but I know this is not what the wall wart will present to the AC line.  I need this for rack current calculations. 
A:  Standby mode 005 watts, when fully booted it is drawing on average 158 watts or 1.3 amps AC.


Q:  Our input SRC will be a Panasonic AW-UE70KPJ.  @2160P.  The manual tends to indicate the GL (gen-lock) input sets the output rate which will be 1080i.  Do I need TLS (Tri Level Sync or will BBRST (analogue black burst) work for reference? 
A:  Black Burst and Tri Level Sync is not required, but you do have the option to lock to a separate reference with either format.


Q:  How is the KMU-100 connected to the RMC-185 controller?  Is the RMC-185 required or is this done via LAN connectivity?
A:  A 5 foot RJ-45 to RS-422 cable is provided with every RMC-185 controller to attach to the KMU-100 for control.  If you need to extend the standard cable then you can add a null modem cable to the serial connector.  The KMU-100 can be controlled without the RMC-185 via LAN connectivity via our PC application.


Q: What is the RS-422 Pinout?
A:
1 GND
2 TX-
3 RX+
