Managing Kaleido-X Systems
This section explains what constitutes a Kaleido-X system, and the related workflow.
Key Concepts
Kaleido-X
The Kaleido-X is a multi-room, multi-image processor and router in a single, expandable frame. As a multi-
image processor, the 7RU frame can display 96 HD, SD or analog inputs any number of times, in any size,
over up to 8 displays of any resolution and orientation. The compact 4RU frame supports 32 inputs and 4
multi-image outputs. By using Kaleido-X’s mid-plane expansion module, two 7RU frames can be
connected to display up to 192 video inputs over up to 12 displays. The Kaleido-X (7RU) built-in routing
capability offers switching of 96 unprocessed inputs to 48 HD/SD outputs for feeding monitors, test
equipment, master control or production switchers, ISO recorders, or other multi-image processors.
XEdit
XEdit is the Kaleido-X layout editor, a software intended to be run on a remote computer. Its purpose is to
define your Kaleido-X system components, including external devices, create rooms, channels, layouts,
and RCP user definitions, and perform all the configurations required for successful operation of the
Kaleido-X. XEdit has two modes of operation: you can work
offline in a local workspace and then apply your
changes by exporting them to the Kaleido-X, or you can connect to a Kaleido-X system and work online
directly on the system. Changes made in online mode take effect immediately on the monitor wall.
