Setting up the Kaleido-IP VM
Limitations
At the heart of every multiviewer system is the
Kaleido-X software
, which includes the
following client applications:
•
XAdmin
is a Web client that your system administrator will use to manage the
multiviewer system.
•
XEdit
is a client application used to create layouts for the monitor wall, and to configure
the multiviewer, from your PC or laptop.
• The
Router Control
Software Single Bus and Matrix View applications (also part of the
iRouter Router Control Software packaged with iControl Application Servers) can be
used to control your multiviewer’s logical sources and monitor wall destinations, via
the
KX Router
logical router, or to control other logical routers configured within your
multiviewer system.
A Kaleido-IP VM multiviewer system in its default configuration includes a predefined room
and some layouts. Once you have configured your Kaleido-IP VM within your local
management and data networks, specified transport stream information, and connected
your preferred application to the multiviewer’s streaming output, you can start using these
layouts to monitor television signals distributed over IP. Consult the
Kaleido-X User’s Manual
(available from the Documentation Library section of Grass Valley’s website) for instructions
on how to define more layouts to suit your specific requirements.
