Upgrading the Multiviewer
Whenever possible, upgrade the multiviewer to use the latest Kaleido Software version
number to take advantage of the latest bug fixes and stability enhancements. See the
Kaleido Software Release Notes for more information about a Kaleido Software release.
Pre-upgrade Checklist
Upgrade Oveview
Upgrade packages are made available by contacting technical support (see Grass Valley
Technical Support
, on page 110). Download the update files onto your PC’s hard drive. The
format of the file should be
926-XXG01-xxx.zip
.
The upgrade is performed from your PC, by using XAdmin. See Upgrading the Kaleido-IP
Multiviewer on page 90.
IMPORTANT
Back up your system database
Before upgrading the multiviewer system, make sure you have a backup of
the current system database so that you can return to the previous Kaleido
Software version if necessary. 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 version 8.70 introduce a hard
compatibility break with previous Kaleido Software versions.
Cluster backups you create with version 8.70 (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 version, to version 8.70 (or higher).
