Cascade
Step-by-Step Configuration
Limitations
In the current version of the Kaleido Software, cascade systems are subject to the following
limitations:
• Full screen layouts are not supported.
•
Changing a display resolution from the monitor wall menu
is not supported and will
break the underlying cluster’s integrity. You must use XEdit to configure the display
resolution (see “Changing Room Display Resolutions” in the Kaleido Software User’s
Manual; see
on page 15). In the advent that such a change was
made by mistake, you will have to repair the broken cascade as follows:
1 Connect to the multiviewer associated with the display whose resolution was
changed by mistake, and open the corresponding room.
• If you wish to
restore the previous resolution
, then set this display to its previous
resolution.
• If you wish to
apply the new resolution
, then change something in the room to
enable the
Save
button (e.g. move a display and then bring it back to its initial
position).
2 On the
File
menu, click
Save
. Alternatively, click the
Save
button on the toolbar.
•
Some changes are not automatically propagated to all members of a cascade.
If you
wish to have the same configuration for every multiviewer in a cascade, then the
following elements must be manually replicated: system calibrations, audio monitoring
output assignment for each RCP user, sources/channels and router configurations,
pointer size configuration.
• If two multiviewers in a cascade are connected to the same router, then the router
name should be the same in both configurations. Conversely, two different routers in
the same cascade must not have the same name.
• Serial ports are not shared between cascade members. A serial device connected to
one multiviewer in a cascade is not known to the other cascade members.
• Audio monitoring is not supported.
•
RCP operation:
In the case of a cascade system, monitor wall functions performed via
the associated buttons on a Kaleido-RCP2 or RCP-200 (ASPECT RATIO, UNDERSCAN,
FULL SCREEN, etc.) only work in parts of the layout associated with the multiviewer that
is directly connected to the displays.
Workaround:
Use the monitor wall menu.
• Router outputs are not cascaded.
• Working against the same cascade system in concurrent XEdit sessions is not
supported.
• EDID auto-detection is not supported. When configuring a cascade room, make sure
the
Use detected monitor resolution
check box is not selected for any of its displays.
Refer to “Enabling EDID Auto-Detection from the Monitor Wall“, or “Enabling EDID
Auto-Detection in XEdit“, in the Kaleido Software User’s Manual, for details. See
Note:
After changing the pointer size for a room, on all multiviewers in a
cascade, you must restart every multiviewer, for the change to become
effective across the cascade system.
