Multiviewer Cabling
Commissioning the Multiviewer
Commissioning the Multiviewer
To interconnect the multiviewer with its related equipment
1 Connect the multiviewer’s outputs to your displays. See Cabling Diagram , on page 81.
The Kaleido-X has been configured to automatically detect the resolution of any
connected display. If the multiviewer is not able to automatically detect the display’s
resolution, then the fall-back resolution of 1280 × 1024 @ 60 Hz is used.
• Monitor wall displays: Connect the multiviewer’s DVI-D OUT outputs to the
displays.
• Broadcast monitors: If your installation involves broadcast monitors, connect
them to the appropriate SDI outputs. It is also possible to connect SDI outputs to a
router. Refer to
Configuring the HD-SDI Monitoring Output Format , in the Kaleido
Software User’s Manual; see Related Documentation , on page 15, for instructions
on setting the scan format.
If you wish to use a different resolution, see Changing the Mosaic Output Resolution ,
on page 90, for detailed instructions.
2 Connect one or more video sources to the multiviewer’s inputs (see Cabling Diagram ,
on page 81).
3 Make the network and other connections as shown in the cabling diagram (see Cabling
Diagram , on page 81). Connect a client PC, the Kaleido-RCP2, one or more Audio Bridge
Terminals, and every output module to a dedicated 100Base-T Ethernet switch
(powered up). You can also connect a mouse and a keyboard to your Kaleido-RCP2.
Powering Up the Multiviewer
Kaleido-X (7RU) is a self-contained unit consisting of a frame, redundant power supplies,
and various input and output cards. The monitor wall displays and external control devices
complete the system.
