1.  Kaleido-Solo 3G/HD/SD Video to HDMI Converter 

 

1.1  Introduction 

 
Kaleido-Solo is a compact, standalone 3Gbps/HD/SD video to HDMI converter, which allows low cost LCD displays to 
be used for video and 

loudness/dialnorm monitoring. It‟s ideal for many professional monitoring applications, including 

production, mobile truck, post-production and broadcast.  
 
The converter allows operators to monitor and log loudness and dialnorm levels accurately over time, using a history 
graph overlay, without the cost and complexity of a traditional loudness monitoring device. Kaleido-Solo also provides 
overlays for markers, Time Code, Subtitling, V-Chip, CAD, dynamic UMD (Under Monitor Display), Tallies, GPIO, AFD 
and ALM (Audio Level Meters). To simplify embedded audio monitoring, it provides two audio connectors to output 
S/PDIF and analog stereo of a 5.1 downmix, or any audio pair.  
 
Kaleido-Solo provides automatic video input format detection, and supports a wide variety of video resolutions, 
including 525i, 625i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.  
 
Kaleido-Solo is available in two versions: KS-900 and KS-910. These two versions are identical except that the KS-
900 does not offer loudness and dialnorm monitoring and logging.
