Introduction
The Kaleido-X (4RU) can display 32 3Gbps, HD, SD or analog inputs any number of times, in
any size, across four displays of any resolution and orientation.
The Kaleido-X (7RU) can display 96 3Gbps, HD, SD or analog inputs any number of times, in
any size, across eight displays of any resolution and orientation. With its router option, the
Kaleido-X (7RU) offers switching unprocessed inputs to 48 HD/SD outputs for feeding
monitors, test equipment and master control or production switchers. By using an optional
mid-plane expansion module, two Kaleido-X (7RU) frames can be configured into a fully
interconnected 14 RU system to display up to 192 video inputs over up to 12 displays, and
capable of switching unprocessed inputs to 96 HD/SD router outputs.
The Kaleido-X (7RU) system’s unique mix of capabilities represents the most integrated
monitoring and routing solution. As a multi-image processor, it offers the highest level of
signal flexibility. Each chassis can display 96 HD, SD or Analog inputs any number of times,
in any size, across 8 displays of any resolution and orientation.
A Kaleido-X multiviewer system in its default configuration includes a number of layout
presets. Each preset shows the video signals from a specific input module (card). Each
output card drives displays in either VGA or DVI-D at a default resolution of 1280 × 1024 @
60Hz. Consult the
Kaleido Software User’s Manual (see Related Documentation , on page 15)
for instructions on how to create rooms and layouts according to your specific
requirements.
