Upgrade packages are made available by download from a Grass Valley FTP server. The

. The upgrade package contains:
• the Kaleido Software Upgrade Manager application required to upgrade the
multiviewer.
• one or more Kaleido Software operating system (
.os
,
.zip
, or
.run
) files.
• documentation, including the Release Notes.
If you do not have the upgrade package, contact Grass Valley Technical Support (see Grass
Valley Technical Support , on page 152).
If you have a cascade system , see Kaleido-IP/Kaleido-X16 Cascade Step-by-Step

You will need a USB key (not supplied) and a mouse to perform an
upgrade of the Kaleido Software system. The USB key should be
USB
2.0 compliant, have a capacity of at least 1 GB, and must be
formatted using the FAT32 file system. See Upgrading the Multiviewer
Using a USB Key on page 106.
Virtual alarms used in iControl Web pages
The internal representation of virtual alarms has changed as of version 6.30
of the Kaleido Software. If you are upgrading the multiviewer from a version
prior to 6.30, then, once the upgrade is completed, it will be necessary to
reassign any virtual alarms that were created on the multiviewer before the
change, and used in iControl Web pages. Virtual alarms created in iControl
are not affected.
Alarm debouncing may need to be recalibrated
Before upgrading from version 6.50 (or earlier) to version 6.60 (or higher) of
the Kaleido Software, make sure to review your system’s alarm debouncing
calibrations, some of which you may have to modify if you want to maintain
the same behavior.
iControl Alarm latching
As of version 6.60 of the Kaleido Software, multiviewer GSMs have their
acknowledgement snooze duration set to 0 ms, by default. If you have set a
non-default value for the acknowledgement snooze duration in the past, you
may want to verify whether it is appropriate for your current purposes:
1 In the GSM alarm browser, click the Admin tab, and then click
Configuration on the second-level tab bar.
2 Review the value indicated for Acknowledgement snooze
duration .
3 Set it to 0 ms if needed, and then click Save .
