Cascade Configuration in XEdit
Adding Multiviewers to a Cascade
To add multiviewers to a cascade:
1 Open XEdit, and then click Connect on the Configure menu, to access the multiviewer
that will output directly to the monitor wall (i.e. the multiviewer whose HDMI outputs
are connected to the display monitors).
You can now add the other multiviewers you wish to be part of this cascade (one or two
Kaleido-X16) to a cluster .
2 In the equipment library, select any multiviewer type, and then drag it onto the root of
the System hierarchical list.
Notes
The Kaleido Software’s support for cascade systems is based on the cluster
feature. Therefore, like a cluster, a cascade system must meet the following
requirements.
• The multiviewers you wish to add to a cascade must have the Kaleido
Software version 6.20 or later, and all cascade members must have the
same version of the software.
• Each multiviewer you wish to add to a cascade must have a unique name.
• Do not change the system name of a multiviewer or its IP address, once it
has been added to a cascade, if other multiviewers in the cascade are
offline or otherwise unavailable. This would cause all head assignments to
become unknown. If you must rename a multiviewer, or change its IP
address, while another member of the cascade is unavailable, remove it
from the cascade configuration first, and then add it again after you made
the required change. You will then need to reconfigure the head
assignments for any room that includes display screens associated with
the renamed multiviewer (see
Repairing a Cascade Configuration on
page 123).
• A multiviewer can only be part of one cascade or cluster system at any
time. XEdit will not let you add a multiviewer that is already included in a
different cascade or cluster system.
