Routers & Kaleido-X

Internal Router
The Kaleido-X (7RU) system features built-in routing which eliminates the need for separate routing in
control rooms, and provides a significant cost saving.
Up to 48 unprocessed, baseband outputs can be provided from any of the 96 HD / SD-SDI inputs to each
processor. These outputs can be used to feed high quality CRT monitors, test equipment such as waveform
scopes, as well as ISO recorders. The outputs can even feed other multi-image display systems.
The router outputs can be controlled by point-and-click menus on the monitor wall, by a Network
Electronics series remote control panel via a serial connection, and by router control panels using the Pro-
Bel protocols over TCP/IP. Additionally, the outputs can be selected by a production switcher’s auxiliary bus
controls.
The built-in router improves integration, and reduces cabling and equipment costs. The routing capability
eliminates the need for a separate router for the following applications:
• feeding baseband high quality monitors anywhere in a facility
• feeding test equipment for quality control monitoring
• feeding a secondary multi-image display processor for output expansion
• feeding an ISO recorder in production studios
Kaleido-X as a Router
Independent from the routing capabilities obtained by adding KX0-24Router cards to a Kaleido-X frame,
the Kaleido-X itself can be used as a router. When configured for such purposes, the Kaleido-X channels are
considered as the sources, and the destinations are either widgets on the monitor wall, or BNC outputs on
the KXO-24Router cards. Just as the built-in routing, the channel routing can be controlled by any external
router control device or software.
