Detailed Directions
This section describes the actions a user can perform on the Kaleido-X monitor wall.
Logging on to the Monitor Wall Using the Kaleido-RCP2
As a network device, the Kaleido-RCP2 provides access to any room, from any Kaleido-X system on the
network. As a security measure, access is controlled by a login procedure. More than one Kaleido-RCP2 can
be used by multiple users to access the same room concurrently. When multiple RCP users are active in the
same room, they each control a separate pointer on the monitor wall, and can use the monitor wall menu
independently, as long as they limit their actions to separate displays.
To log on to a Kaleido-X room:
1. On an RCP2 with an active connection to the network, press and hold the ENTER key for 8 seconds. The
Configuration menu appears, with the ROOM SELECTION option displayed.
Timer widget A timer widget is based on a timer defined within the Kaleido-X system.
Three timer modes are available on the Kaleido-X: (1) UP: timer counts up starting
from zero up to a preset time, (2) DOWN: timer counts down from a preset time to zero,
and (3) REMAINING: timer counts down from the current time until it reaches a preset
time.
Timers are defined and configured in XEdit. They can be slaved to production timers,
assigned to channels, assigned to rooms or specific RCP users, and controlled from the
Kaleido-RCP2.
Clock A clock is the visual representation of time in a video or display. It can be based on a
reference LTC signal or on the Kaleido-X system time. Clocks can be in a digital or
analog format.
Action An action is an operation automatically performed in response to a specific trigger.
Monitor wall actions are directly associated with widgets and layouts. Background
(floating) actions are actions that are global to the Kaleido-X frame. Unlike monitor
wall actions, background actions are always available.
Trigger A trigger is an event that triggers an action. An example of a trigger could be a double
click on a widget. Background actions are triggered by alarms or by Gateway
commands. When defining an action for a widget, you could specify, for instance, that
a specific full screen layout be displayed on the monitor wall in response to the trigger.
Crosspoint A crosspoint is the link inside a router between a source (input) and a destination
(output).
