Release Notes
Peripheral Device/System Support
Built-in Communications Protocols
The multiviewer itself can be controlled by external devices (e.g. Kaleido-RCP2, router
control panels) or applications (e.g. router control software application, Remote Control
Gateway) via built-in communications protocols. Such devices or applications can be used
to command monitor wall operations (e.g. source assignment) or routing operations.
A router control device or application can control a Kaleido-X (7RU) or Kaleido-X16
multiviewer’s internal router module, or any multiviewer’s logical sources and monitor wall
destinations, via the
KX Router
logical router. It can also control other logical routers
configured within your multiviewer system. In the case of the
KX Router
logical router, the
device or application must support the
NVISION Ethernet protocol - Compact router
protocol.
The supported communications protocols are listed in the following table, with an
indication of the supported connection types (TCP/IP or serial), and the dedicated port
number on the multiviewer, in the case of a TCP/IP protocol.
