Overview
Introduction
Introduction
The Kaleido-X16 is a 1RU, multi-image display processor with high image quality and a rich
feature set. The Kaleido-X16 system is a cost-effective multi-image processor. It can
accommodate smaller systems or scale up to production systems, where smaller building
blocks with fewer input counts per display are desirable. Each chassis can display up to
16 auto-sensing HD, SD, or Analog inputs that can be displayed across two high resolution
outputs at multiple sizes.
The Kaleido-X16 can display 16 3Gbps, HD, SD or analog inputs across two high-resolution
outputs at multiple sizes. With its router option, the Kaleido-X16 can also behave as a
router, with 16 input channels as sources and two router outputs as destinations. Up to
three Kaleido-X16 units can be configured into a single- or dual-output cascade system
supporting up to 48 inputs.
A Kaleido-X16 multiviewer system in its default configuration includes a number of layout
presets. The default output head configuration is set to automatically detect the resolution
of the associated display. If this information is not available, it will fall back to 1280 × 1024 @
60 Hz.
Refer to the Kaleido Software User’s Manual for instructions on how to define rooms and
layouts according to your specific requirements. See Related Documentation
