1 With the Kaleido-MX frame (enclosure) installed in its designated rack position, and
before powering up the unit, verify that each card is securely seated in its slot, and
leave the frame door open so that you can monitor all the card’s LEDs.
2 Power up the frame.
The multiviewer starts up. The startup sequence takes approximately four minutes,
during which time every card’s status LED is blinking orange. See
on page 30 and
Once the startup has completed, the status LEDs on the
output cards
should be red
(steady) because the cards are not connected to the network yet. See
3 Connect the Kaleido-RCP2 and the Audio Bridge Terminal (if available) to a dedicated
100Base-T Ethernet switch (see
, on page 39). You can also connect a
mouse and a keyboard to your Kaleido-RCP2.

Notes
• You may need to upgrade your Audio Bridge Terminal and Kaleido-RCP2
devices (if available) to the latest firmware. See
, on page 18. Refer to the
Kaleido-RCP2 Guide to Installation and
Operation
, and to the
Audio Bridge Terminal Guide to Installation and
Operation
(
see
, on page 17) for instructions on
how to determine the firmware level, and how to perform the upgrade for
these devices.
• The Kaleido-MX (1RU) supports only one ABT device.
Note:
A reference is optional but, if minimal processing delay is required for
your monitoring purposes, then you must reference your system. However, if
you must monitor 50 Hz input signals on 60 Hz displays (or vice-versa), then
do not reference your system.
Note:
The Kaleido-MX does not support
the controller card’s second
Ethernet port (ETHERNET 2).
