The Kaleido-MX automatically detects the resolution of any connected display. If the
required information is not available, then a fall-back resolution of 1920 × 1080 @ 60 Hz
(HDTV) is used.
4 Connect outputs of the Kaleido-MX to one or more displays that support this
resolution.
•
Monitor wall displays:
Connect the multiviewer’s MV OUT outputs to the displays.
• Quad-link 4K UHD output:
•
Four 1080p displays—
In the case of a quad-head system (e.g., the 16
×
4
model) meant to output a 4K UHD signal to four 1080p displays, connect the
multiviewer’s SDI monitoring outputs to the displays, referring to the table
below for proper mapping.
•
One 4K UHD display—
If your system is meant to output to a single 4K UHD
display, connect the multiviewer’s SDI monitoring outputs to the display, using
an SDI-to-HDMI converter, if needed. Refer to the table below for proper
mapping.
The SDI outputs are mapped as follows. This configuration does not support
rotated displays. Refer to
Creating a 4K UHD Room
,
and to
4K UHD Spanning,
in the
Kaleido Software User’s Manual, for instructions on how to create 4K UHD rooms
and layouts.
•
Broadcast monitors:
If your installation involves broadcast monitors, connect
them to the appropriate SDI outputs. It is also possible to connect SDI outputs to a
router. Refer to
Configuring the HD-SDI Monitoring Output Format
,
in the Kaleido
Software User’s Manual, for instructions on setting the scan format.

If you wish to use a different resolution, see
Changing the Mosaic Output Resolution
on page 52, for detailed instructions.
5 Connect one or more video sources to the Kaleido-MX inputs (see
• The Kaleido-MX (1RU) supports one ABT device.

IMPORTANT
Within a Kaleido-MX system, all output heads must be configured with the
same refresh rate. If your system is referenced, then the heads’ refresh rate
must also match the reference signal's refresh rate.
