Serial Connections
The physical cabling required to connect a Kaleido-X to an external serial device (such as a router,
production switcher, or router controller) can vary from one device to another. It is important to check the
manufacturer’s documentation to get the proper pinout so it matches up with the one for the Kaleido-X.
The RS-422 port on the back of a KXO-DUAL card uses an RJ-45 connector. Miranda provides an adapter
(Part no. 1737-3000-02) with every KXO-DUAL card, which maps the RS-422 signals back to the more
common DE-9S form factor.
Note: Some routers have RS-232 ports, which will require the use of a RS-232 to RS-422 converter
(externally powered ones work best).
The DE-9S pinouts for the adapter are as follows:
