To set up the Ross Video switcher:
1. Enable the contribution serial tally interface on one of the switcher’s remote ports, by using the
switcher’s device installation menu: from the home menu, press More > Setup > Installation >
Communication, and then configure the serial tally device as follows:
Note: For more information on installing port devices, please refer to your Ross switcher
documentation. The communication parameters listed above are recommended values. Other values
may also work, but remember that both the switcher and the Kaleido-X must be configured with the
same values.
2. Physically connect one end of an RJ-45 crossover cable to the Kaleido-X’s RS-422 port.
3. Using an DE-9S-to-RJ-45 converter, connect the other end of the crossover cable to the enabled serial
tally port on the switcher.
Note: Since the protocol is unidirectional, only the transmit pins are required from the switcher’s
remote port. See “RS-422 Connection Diagram” on page 42 for pinouts on the Kaleido-X.
