Upgrading the Multiviewer
Upgrading the Multiviewer
Upgrade packages are made available by contacting technical support (see Grass Valley

Kaleido-IP Multiviewer on page 96.
Upgrading the Kaleido-IP Multiviewer
To upgrade your Kaleido-IP multiviewer
1 From a workstation on the same subnet, open a Web browser window, and type the
management
IP address of the multiviewer, in the address bar.
The Kaleido-IP home page appears.
IMPORTANT
Back up your system database
Before upgrading the multiviewer system, make sure you have a backup of
the current system database. Refer to
Creating a Backup in the Kaleido
Software User’s Manual, for details. See Related Documentation , on page 15.
Cluster and cascade systems
All multiviewers that are part of a cluster or cascade system must have the
same Kaleido Software version.
For cluster systems, Kaleido Software versions 8.70 and 6.50 introduce a hard
compatibility break with previous Kaleido Software versions.
Cluster backups you create with version 8.70 and 6.50 (or higher), cannot be
restored by using an earlier version of XEdit. Grass Valley recommends you
make a backup of the individual databases for every cluster member,
before
upgrading from a pre-8.70 or pre-6.50 version, to version 8.70 or 6.50 (or
higher) respectively.
