Router Control Configurations

4. All multi-viewers can be controlled by an external (push-button) control panel, via a serial or TCP/IP
connection. Usually, such a panel is used to control either a simple external router (case 2, above)
connected to the multi-viewer, or the internal router module (case 1, above).
5. All multi-viewers can be controlled by an intelligent router controller, via a serial or TCP/IP connection.
The controller can issue commands to the multi-viewer internal router module (if available), or to any
external router connected to the multi-viewer. The Kaleido-X Software directs the commands to the
designated device, and, as needed, translates the command to the required protocol.
Router Configuration Scenarios
Controlling an External Router
1. An operator chooses an assignment option on the monitor wall menu (e.g. “switch output 2 of
external router A to QC monitor”).
2. The Kaleido-X Software interprets the command, and sends it to the designated router over a serial or
TCP/IP connection, using the appropriate router protocol.
3. The router receives the command and executes a crosspoint switch, either changing the signal on one
of its connections to a multi-viewer input, or…
4. …sending the signal to another device (e.g. vector scope, QC monitor, ISO recorder).
