Notes
• On all Kaleido multiviewers, the network adapters are set to auto-
negotiate. By default, the connection speed and duplex mode will be set
automatically based on the corresponding port settings on the switch.
• Do not use a DVI-to-HDMI adapter to connect a DVI cable to your
multiviewer. The adapter would interfere with the multiviewer’s AC cable
and cause undesirable strain on the connection. You may order suitable
HDMI cables from Grass Valley—HDMI w/Lock to DVI female cable (1ft),
