Kaleido-IP X320/X120

Installation & Service Manual

Commissioning the Multiviewer

Connect the multiviewer as follows.

1 With the Kaleido-IP frame installed in its designated rack position, power up the frame.

The multiviewer starts up. The startup sequence takes approximately four minutes. 

2 Connect your Kaleido-IP multiviewer’s Ethernet ports to two or more Ethernet switches 

(one 

Management Network

 and one or more 

Media Networks

) according to 

Kaleido-IP 

Multiviewer Ethernet Port Usage

, on page 21 and 

Cabling Diagram

, on page 21).

3 Connect a client PC, and the Kaleido-RCP2 (if available) to the switch on 

LAN1

. You can 

also connect a mouse and a keyboard to your Kaleido-RCP2.

4 Connect one of the DisplayPort outputs of the multiviewer to a display that supports a 

resolution of 1920 × 1080 @ 60 Hz (HDTV) (see 

Cabling Diagram

, on page 21).

Note:

To disconnect an RJ-45 network cable connected to the optional 

LAN5

 or 

LAN6

 media ports, you may need to use the blade of a flat 

screwdriver to reach the cable’s locking mechanism.

Notes 

• The Kaleido-RCP2 is an optional device, and may not have been shipped 

with your Kaleido-IP system. For information on this and other options for 
your multiviewer system, contact your Grass Valley sales representative.

• You may need to upgrade your Kaleido-RCP2 devices (if available) to the 

latest firmware. See 

Software and Firmware Updates

, on page 15. Refer to 

the 

Kaleido-RCP2 Guide to Installation and Operation

 for instructions on 

how to determine the firmware level, and how to perform the upgrade. 
See 

Related Documentation

, on page 15.

Notes 

• Depending on your display type, you may use the DisplayPort-to-HDMI 

that shipped with your system, or DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters (not 
included).

• Although the Kaleido-IP unit has four DisplayPort outputs, only the first 

two DisplayPort outputs are used.

• To disconnect a display cable at the DisplayPort outputs, you may need to 

use an object (e.g., the blade of a flat screwdriver) to reach the cable’s 
locking mechanism.

• Disconnecting and reconnecting any Kaleido-IP DisplayPort-to-HDMI 

adapter may require a restart. The adapter cables must be properly 
connected when the multiviewer restarts. If you connect such an adapter 
after the multiviewer has restarted, the display will remain blank.
