Setting Up Your Kaleido-MX Multiviewer
Physical Setup
Kaleido-X User’s Manual, for instructions on how to create 4K UHD rooms and
layouts.
•
Broadcast monitors:
If your installation involves broadcast monitors, connect
them to the appropriate SDI outputs. It is also possible to connect SDI outputs to a
router. Refer to
Configuring the HD-SDI Monitoring Output Format
,
in the Kaleido-X
User’s Manual, for instructions on setting the scan format.
If you wish to use a different resolution, see
Changing the Output Resolution
, on
page 9, for detailed instructions.
5 Connect one or more video sources to the Kaleido-MX inputs (see
Cabling Diagram
, on
page 11).
6 Connect a reference source (if available) to one or more reference inputs:
• Connect the house reference source to
REF IN 1
.
The VDA-1002 (in slot 9) will distribute the reference to all input cards in the frame.
• If you ordered a REF-1801 card, you can connect the house reference source to
REF IN 2
to make provision for redundancy.
should the VDA-1002 become unavailable, the system will fall back to the reference
signal distributed by the REF-1801 through the URS.
7 If you intend to use the GPI interface, refer to the
Kaleido-MX (3RU) Guide to Installation
and Operation,
to make the necessary connections to GPI I/O 1 (and to GPI I/O 2, if your
order includes a second GPI-1501 card).
8 Connect the controller card’s ETHERNET 1 port to your Ethernet switch (see
Cabling
Diagram
, on page 11).
9 Connect the output cards’ ETH ports to your Ethernet switch.

IMPORTANT
Within a Kaleido-MX system, all output heads must be configured with the
same refresh rate. If your system is referenced, then the heads’ refresh rate
must also match the reference signal's refresh rate.
Note:
A reference is optional but, if minimal processing delay is required for
your monitoring purposes, then you must reference your system. However, if
you must monitor 50 Hz input signals on 60 Hz displays (or vice-versa), then
do not reference your system.
Note:
The Kaleido-MX does not support
the controller card’s second
Ethernet port (ETHERNET 2).
