• UMD tallies based on crosspoint status data from a router or switcher: Sources connected to a specific
destination on the device can thus be tallied on the monitor wall.
• Mouse pointer locator: Clicking the middle mouse button will make a more recognizable square shape
appear around the pointer.
• It is now possible to load a layout on the monitor wall, from within XEdit.
• Rooms can be configured to prevent the dashboard from appearing on specific displays.
• The output cards' DVI inputs can now be used to feed background or foreground keying material to the
corresponding output head.
Alarms and Actions
• Actions based on crosspoint status data from a router or switcher.
• Alarm latching: Widgets on the monitor wall can now indicate not only the current state of an alarm
but also its previous (latched) state. It is possible to reset the latch indicator (i.e. acknowledge the
latched alarm state) at any time, by using the UNLATCH STATUS button on the Kaleido-RCP2. Alarm
indicators can be configured to blink, according to specific criteria (e.g. alarm severity,
acknowledgement state).
• Freeze and black detection limited to a specific zone within a video window.
Metadata Monitoring
• Display of CGMS-A metadata located in the CC (608) XDS channel: Content Generation Management
System for Analog metadata located in the XDS channel is decoded, allowing visual monitoring of
CGMS-A metadata from an analog video source. Available with the
CC/XDS option (KXS-CSX).
• Display of CAD (708): Content Advisory Descriptor on a monitor wall is decoded, allowing visual
monitoring of V-chip rating from an HD-SDI video source. Available with the CC/XDS option (KXS-CSX).
Audio Monitoring
• Loudness metering: The Kaleido-X can now measure the audio level of an embedded audio signal,
using either the A-weighted Leq or ITU-R BS.1770 metering ballistics, and trigger alarms when the
measured level deviates too much from the dialnorm value encoded in the signal. The measured levels
and the encoded dialnorm value can also be compared against your organization’s standard “Expected”
dialnorm value, and alarms will be triggered in case of too much deviation. Available with the
KXS-
Loudness option.
• Audio monitoring indicator: Audio meters now have an indicator that shows which audio inputs are
being monitored in the room and can be used to identify the output head where the monitoring is
taking place. (If an audio input is monitored concurrently by more than one user, then the indicator
shows the color associated with the last output that started playing this audio input.).
