Kaleido-X Output/Expansion Cards
•
Kaleido-X (7RU) and Kaleido-X (14RU):
One card must always be present in either
OUTPUT slot C (KXO-Dual or KXO-Dual3) or OUTPUT slot D (KXO-Dual, KXO-Dual3 or
KXO-EXP) to ensure proper operation of the multi-viewer system.
•
Kaleido-X (4RU):
One KXO-Dual or KXO-Dual3 card must always be present in either
OUTPUT slot A or OUTPUT slot B to ensure proper operation of the multi-viewer system.
KMV-3901/3911 Time Reference
•
Densité CPU-ETH2 Enhanced Ethernet Controller Card:
The Densité frame housing a
KMV-3901 or KMV-3911 multi-viewer card must have a controller card with firmware
version 2.0.4 or later. A controller with an earlier version of the firmware cannot provide
a time reference to the multi-viewer card.
•
Date/time configuration:
The KMV-3901/3911 multi-viewer receives date and time
information from the Densité CPU-ETH2 controller upon startup. Unlike other multi-
viewer models, date/time and NTP settings for the KMV-3901/3911 cannot be
configured in XAdmin. However, the Densité CPU-ETH2 controller itself can be
configured to provide date and time information from an NTP server.
•
Time Code Reference from REF-1801:
If the time reference signal is provided by a
Densité REF-1801 HD/SD Frame Reference Module, this module must be configured as
follows:
• An input reference signal must be connected to the BNC marked REF on the REF-
1801’s rear panel.
IMPORTANT
Before changing the system name or IP address of a multi-viewer
associated with a cluster, review the following.
If you change the system name or IP address of a cluster member while
another cluster member is offline or otherwise unavailable, the cluster’s
integrity will be broken. If you attempt to make such a change, XEdit will alert
you of the situation, prompting you to cancel the operation and try again
later, when all cluster members are available. However, in the advent that
such a change was made by mistake, or that is had to be forced for some
reason, you will have to repair the broken cluster (see “Repairing a Cluster
System” in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual).
Changing the system name or IP address of a KMV-3901/3911 multi-viewer
associated with a cluster, by using the card’s control panel on the Densité
housing frame, or by using the KMV-3901/3911 control panel in iControl, is
not supported.
To maintain the integrity of a cluster configuration, such changes must be
made by using the system configuration features available in XAdmin, or
from the monitor wall menu (which, in the case of a
cascade
system, is
currently not supported).
