Kaleido-MX (1RU)
Quick Start Guide
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.
3 Connect the Kaleido-RCP2 and the Audio Bridge Terminal (if available) to a dedicated
100Base-T Ethernet switch. You can also connect a mouse and a keyboard to your
Kaleido-RCP2.
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
