Detailed Directions
Creating and Configuring Logical Sources
When opening XEdit in offline mode, the initial database is populated with the default configuration for a
Kaleido-X (7RU) system, including a fully-populated frame (all cards present) and a set of predefined
logical sources. The
KX Router logical router is also created as a 96 × 80 router where the 96 inputs are the
multi-viewer’s logical sources, the first 48 outputs are those from the two router cards, and the last 32
outputs are monitor wall destinations.
Likewise, when you replace the initial Kaleido-X (7RU) with the appropriate multi-viewer model that
matches your actual system, you can choose to have your local database populated with a default set of
logical sources and a preconfigured
KX Router logical router.
Adding a Logical Source
To add a logical source:
1. Click the Channels/Sources tab in the main window.
The sources table appears.
Incremental copy Once a logical source (channel) is configured, it is possible to use incremental copy
to automatically propagate appropriate physical assignments to other adjacent
logical sources. For instance, if the current logical source’s levels are assigned from
Video 1, then the incremental copy tool will automatically assign corresponding
physical elements from Video 2 to the next logical source’s levels, and so on.
Alternatively, if only one or a few specific levels are to be similarly configured, it is
possible to use incremental copy on the corresponding level column only.
Incremental copy zone In the sources table, the incremental copy zone is indicated by a small square
at the bottom right of the selected cell.
