Kaleido-X (4RU)
Hardware Description & Installation Manual
• If the card in Output A is removed, the card in Output B will assume the master role
automatically.
Every output card is connected to the other cards in the Kaleido-X frame through the
frame’s internal midplane.
External connections to the card are made through connectors that are found in two
locations:
• on the rear panel (see
Rear Panel Connections
below)
• on the front card edge (see
Front Card-Edge Layout
, on page 14)
HD-SDI Monitoring Output Option
The output cards provide support for HD-SDI monitoring output in 720p, 1080i or 1080p
(available with the optional KXO-HDM mezzanine).
•
KXO-Dual:
If the KXO-HDM mezzanine is installed on a KXO-Dual card, the only HD-SDI
output formats supported are 720p and 1080i.
•
KXO-Dual3:
For a KXO-Dual3 card, the scan format is set with the associated displays’
configuration, in XEdit. Refer to the Rooms chapter, in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual, for
details.
Rear Panel Connections
The rear panel layout is divided into three areas: Head 1, Head 2, and Control.
Head 1
The connectors located at the top of the rear panel (right-hand side when the card is
horizontal and you can read the connector labels normally) are the
Head 1
connectors.
Notes
• Be careful to install the rear panel in the matching location at the rear of
the frame.
• The card and its rear panel can be installed in any order.
• These cards are hot-swappable; it is not necessary to turn off the Kaleido-
X when installing or replacing cards.
• If a software master card loses network connectivity while remaining
seated in its slot, then none of the other cards will take over and the
multiviewer will be unavailable on the network until the connectivity
issue is resolved.
Note:
To install a KXO-HDM mezzanine on an existing KXO-Dual or KXO-
Dual3 card, refer to the
KXO-HDM Installation Instructions
(Miranda Part No.
M860-9900-104) for details. This document is available from Miranda’s
support portal, and on the DVD that shipped with your system.
