Kahuna Production Switcher
The Kaleido-X can receive dynamic source names and tally information from a Kahuna production
switcher. The procedures below describe how to set up the Kaleido-X to interface with a Kahuna switcher.
To set up the Kahuna switcher:
1. Physically connect one end of an RJ-45 crossover cable to the Kaleido-X’s RS-422 port.
2. Using an DE-9S-to-RJ-45 converter, connect the other end of the crossover cable to the appropriate RS-
422 control port on the Kahuna switcher. See “RS-422 Connection Diagram” on page 42 for pinouts on
the Kaleido-X. The illustration below shows the location of the RS-422 ports on an 11RU Kahuna
switcher. The RS-422 ports (highlighted) are numbered 1 – 8, from right to left. Refer to the
