Kaleidescape Premiere Line Installation Guide
Physical Installation
A/V Connections to Players in the Premiere Line
Players in the Premiere line can be installed in either of the following
locations:
• In an A/V closet with cables running from the player to the display
• In the same area as the A/V equipment
Locating the player in the same area as the A/V equipment allows for direct
control with an IR remote to the IR receiver on the front of the player and
convenient access to the disc tray (where applicable). The player must be
located so that IR signals can be readily received, or fitted with an IR
emitter/IR extension cable connected to a remote IR receiver.
The Kaleidescape M500 Player has the ability to import Blu-ray discs and
CDs, catalog Blu-ray discs and DVDs, and playback a disc direct from the
tray. Locating these players near a display area is ideal when using this
functionality.
If the movie player is controlled remotely, whether through an IR receiver, a
programmable controller, or the control panel in the browser interface, A/V
cable length limits become a major installation consideration.
Check specifications for both cables and A/V equipment. HDMI must be
used when planning to output 1080p video or lossless Blu-ray quality audio.
lists the cable requirements for movie players depending on the
audio option.
Note:
Cable lengths are limited by the cable and signal type.
• For example, with audio signals, optical cables are typically limited to
less than 16 ft (5 m) and coaxial cables are typically limited to less
than 32–50 ft (10–15 m).
• Always use a certified high speed (category 2) HDMI cable. The
longer the HDMI cable, the more important the quality. For cable
runs longer than 10 meters, a solution such as an active cable,
repeater, amplifier, or Cat5/6 or fiber extender is required.
