RS-422 Connection Diagram
Each output card supports one RS-422 port over an RJ-45 connector. This port allows the Kaleido-X to
connect to external serial devices such as a router, production switcher, or router controller.
The pinout for the RS-422 signals on the Kaleido-X16’s RJ-45 connectors, and the wiring diagrams for the
appropriate adapters, are shown here:
Standard wiring between multi-viewer and devices wired to SMPTE “slave” specification (e.g. most routers, Ross Synergy
switchers, Nevion ETH-CON)
Standard wiring between multi-viewer and devices wired to SMPTE “master” specification (e.g. Philips Jupiter router control
system, Miranda Presmaster PCS)

Note:
The Kaleido-X RS-422 ports each have an RJ-45 connector in order to preserve space on a busy
panel. The RS-422 interface specifies a DE-9 connector, so if you are using this interface, you will require
a DE-9-to-RJ-45 adapter. Miranda supplies two adapter models, correctly wired for this application: a
straight adapter (part no. 1737-3000-102), and a crossover adapter (part no. 1792-3700-100).
