Kaleido-X16
Hardware Description & Installation Manual
Interconnect the Multiviewer with its Associated Equipment
To make the multiviewer operational
1 Make the required network and other connections to your Kaleido-X16 (see Cabling
Diagram , on page 27). Connect a client PC, the Kaleido-RCP2 (if available), and an Audio
Bridge Terminal (if available) to a dedicated 100Base-T Ethernet switch. You can also
connect a mouse and a keyboard to your Kaleido-RCP2.
2 Connect at least one output of the multiviewer to a display (see Cabling Diagram , on
page 27).
• Monitor wall displays: Connect the multiviewer’s MV 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 OUT outputs
to a router. Refer to
Configuring the HD-SDI Monitoring Output Format , in the Kaleido
Software User’s Manual, for instructions on setting the scan format.
See Related
Documentation , on page 15 .
The Kaleido-X16 multiviewer has been configured to automatically detect the
resolution of any connected display. If the required information is not available, then a
fall-back resolution of 1280 × 1024 @ 60 Hz is used.
If you wish to use a different resolution, see Changing the Output Resolution , below, for
detailed instructions.
3 Connect one or more video sources to your multiviewer’s inputs (see Cabling Diagram ,
on page 27).
4 Check the LEDs in the Kaleido-X16 frame. Make sure that none are indicating an error
condition. See Front of the Kaleido-X16 , on page 23 for more information.
Notes
• The Kaleido-RCP2, and Audio Bridge Terminal (ABT) are optional devices,
and may not have been shipped with your Kaleido-X16 system. For
information on these and other Kaleido-X16 options, contact your Grass
Valley sales representative.
• You may need to upgrade your Audio Bridge Terminal and Kaleido-RCP2
devices (if available) to the latest firmware. See Software and Firmware
Updates , on page 15. Refer to the Kaleido-RCP2 Guide to Installation and
Operation , and to the Audio Bridge Terminal Guide to Installation and
Operation for instructions on how to determine the firmware level, and
how to perform the upgrade for these devices. See Related
Documentation , on page 15.
• All equipment in the audio path (e.g., ABT, multiviewer, audio source) must
use the same reference source.
Note:
If your display is not collocated with your Kaleido-X16 frame you may
choose to employ a DXF-200 transmitter/receiver device that allows you to
install a display up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) from the signal source. For
more information on the DXF-200, refer to the
DXF-200 DVI/HDMI Optical
Extension System User’s Manual . See Related Documentation , on page 15.
