IP Network Setup
Network Considerations
19 If this system must monitor sources from a VLAN environment, then see Configuring
Virtual Network Adapters on a Kaleido-IP , on page 86 to add the required virtual
network adapters.
Network Considerations
It is possible to add and configure up to 6000 logical sources without exceeding the
network’s bandwidth or the unit’s decoding resources.
The Kaleido-IP multiviewer supports concurrent decoding of video programs from multi-
program and single-program MPEG transport streams, over UDP or RTP Multicast/Unicast.
The following table shows the number of HD or SD programs that can be decoded
concurrently, depending on the transport stream type and Kaleido-IP model.
The Kaleido-IP supports concurrent decoding of up to 512 elementary streams within a
program.
The Kaleido-IP supports layouts using up to 600 Mbps of streaming bandwidth. However,
when using a layout touring application, the total bandwidth usage per layout should be
limited to 400 Mbps across all network interfaces, and the touring period should be at least
30 seconds. In the case of the Kaleido-IP-6, layout touring should be avoided (a source
cycling application should be preferred when required). Implementing a source cycling or
layout touring configuration requires iControl.
The Kaleido-IP supports streaming over wide area networks (WAN), which are subject to
packet delay variation (jitter), latency, packet reordering, and packet loss. It also supports
encoders that transmit in bursts or with long delays between packets. The Kaleido-IP can
handle transmission delays matching the encoder’s video buffer delay, and, in the case of
RTP streams, up to ±120 ms of packet delay variation.
The Kaleido-IP functions as a fully compliant MPEG-2 decoder as per ISO/IEC 13181-2. It is
capable of detecting impairments caused by non-compliant encoding, or corruption
resulting from transmission failures, and recovers from such situations.
The Kaleido-IP multiviewer joins a multicast group only when decoding is required, that is
when a source is being monitored on the wall. In addition, streams that are not decoded are
joined momentarily in a polling manner—one stream at a time—to update the PMT and
PAT information. The Kaleido-IP leaves the multicast group as soon as a change of layout
implies that a different set of streams must be decoded.
However, if your situation involves frequent changes of layout (e.g., loading a new layout to
the monitor wall every minute), then, when you are creating or editing a layout, make sure
to terminate XEdit’s connection to the Kaleido-IP once configuration tasks are completed
(see
Disconnecting from a Multiviewer on page 67).
