To configure a 4K UHD prescaler as a KMX-3901-IN-16-Q input card
1 Press the Select button on the front edge of the prescaler card you wish to configure.
The Status LED on the selected card flashes orange, and the associated control menu
appears on the LCD display of the Densité frame’s local control panel.
2 On the local control panel, press the [–] button.
CONFIG appears on the LCD display.
3 Press the SEL button.
4K UHD PRESCALER appears on the LCD display.
4 Press the SEL button.
5 Press the [+] or [–] buttons, if needed, until DISABLE appears on the LCD display.
6 Press the SEL button.
DISABLE appears on the top line of the LCD display, and then, after a few seconds, a
message appears on the second line to let you know that the card will restart in
20 seconds.

This indicates that the card has reverted to its original mode.
Upgrading 4K UHD Prescaler Cards
If your Kaleido-Modular-X system includes 4K UHD prescaler cards, these must be upgraded
individually,
after
you have upgraded your system by the usual method.
To upgrade your system’s 4K UHD prescaler cards
1 Upgrade your Kaleido-Modular-X system by the usual method (refer to the Kaleido-X
Release Notes for detailed instructions).
2 After all input and output cards have restarted, momentarily remove one of your
system’s KMX-3901-IN-16-Q input cards, and set it aside.
3 Repeat the following for every prescaler card in your system:
a Momentarily revert the prescaler card to an input card (see
Prescaler to a KMX-3901-IN-16-Q Input Card
b After the card you wish to upgrade has restarted, remove it from its slot, and then
insert it in the slot you emptied at
The system detects that the newly inserted card has a different software version,
and upgrades it automatically. This takes a few minutes, after which the card
restarts.
c Once the card has restarted, remove it from the slot, and insert it back into its
original position.
d Convert the card back to a 4K UHD prescaler (see
Input Card to a 4K UHD Prescaler
4 Insert the input card you had set aside at
back into its original position.
