About the Multiviewer
The Kaleido-IP can monitor and display HD and SD television programs distributed over IP,
across two HDTV displays
— or in the case of a Kaleido-IP VM, through one streaming
output. It supports MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC compressed video, and the AAC, AC-3, DD+,
MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 AAC LC, and MPEG-4 HE-AAC compressed audio formats, within
unencrypted DCII, DVB, or ATSC streams. See
Decoding Capacity , on page 106 for more
information the multiviewer’s performance.
A Kaleido-IP multiviewer system in its default configuration includes a predefined room
and some layouts. Once you have connected your Kaleido-IP to your local management
and data networks, hooked up one or two 1920 × 1080 @ 60 Hz (HDTV) displays, and
specified transport stream information, you can start using these layouts to monitor
television signals distributed over IP. Consult the
Kaleido Software User’s Manual for
instructions on how to define more rooms and layouts to suit your specific requirements.
