Installation & Service Manual
System Setup
Before you can proceed with monitor wall operation, you must use XEdit to add transport
streams to your Kaleido-IP system configuration, define logical sources based on the signals
you want to monitor, configure monitor wall destinations (if desired), and configure the
required rooms and layouts for your purposes. Although it is possible to partly configure
your system by using XEdit in offline mode, you may initially prefer to work in online mode,
to take advantage of the predefined room and layouts that are available in the default
configuration. In any case, you must work in online mode, at least once, to obtain the list of
programs and elementary streams under each transport stream. The supported stream
types are source-specific multicast, source-filtered multicast (filtering limited to a single
source IP in include mode only), any-source multicast, unicast, RTSP, RTMP, and HTTP Live
Streaming (HLS). The procedures in this section apply to the online mode.
Opening XEdit in Online Mode
To open XEdit in online mode
1 Select XEdit from the Start Menu.
2 When prompted to specify a database, choose one from the Path list, or click Browse to
specify another location, and then click OK to continue.
The main application window appears.
3 On the Configure menu, click Connect .
4 In Connect to Multiviewer , Enter the management IP address for the Kaleido-IP you
want to configure or select a multiviewer from the drop-down list, and then click OK .
The selected system’s hierarchical list appears in the main pane, showing the
multiviewer type, system name and IP address, and the status bar shows the
connection status.
Disconnecting from a Multiviewer
To disconnect from a multiviewer
• On the Configure menu, click Disconnect .
XEdit switches to its local workspace, and displays the OFFLINE status on the status bar.
Configuring Transport Streams
The default configuration for a Kaleido-IP system includes eight predefined any-source
multicast (ASM) streams, under NETWORK ADAPTER 2. Before you can use these streams,
you must adjust their settings to match the actual transport streams you want to monitor.
Depending on your monitoring purposes and Kaleido-IP model, you may also need to add
transport streams, including other types of transport streams (see
Adding Stream Sources ,
on page 70).
