Frame Control Panel Operation and IP
Network Setup
Introduction
This chapter shows the multiviewer interfaces, explains the local operations that can be
performed, and it explains how to implement IP network connectivity with the multiviewer.
The Kaleido-MX can be controlled in the following ways:
• In the housing frame, you can monitor card operating status of your Kaleido-MX input
and output cards by looking at the card-edge LEDs (see
and use the Densité CPU-ETH2 local control panel and its buttons to navigate menus
and adjust parameter values (see
Using the Densité Frame Control Panel
• The loading and management of layouts is handled via a Java-based application, XEdit,
accessed through a dedicated Ethernet port (refer to the Kaleido Software User’s
Manual; see
• Grass Valley’s iControl system can be used to access the card’s operating parameters
from a remote computer, using a convenient graphical user interface (see
• A GPI interface allows remote layout selection.
• The output resolution of the card can be controlled automatically through the EDID
interface with the display.
• The RCP-200 advanced remote control panel, and the Kaleido-RCP2 control panel allow
you to perform operations on the monitor wall, either by themselves or in association
with an external keyboard and a mouse. Refer to the RCP-200, Kaleido-RCP2, and
Kaleido Software documentation (see
