Kaleido-MX (1RU)
Quick Start Guide
Standard wiring between multiviewer and devices wired to SMPTE “slave” specification (e.g. most
routers, Ross Synergy switchers, Nevion ETH-CON)
Standard wiring between multiviewer and devices wired to SMPTE “master” specification (e.g. Philips
Jupiter router control system, Grass Valley Presmaster PCS)
For more information about the RS-422 specifications, see the “Communication” section in
the
Specifications
chapter of the Kaleido-MX (1RU) Hardware Description & Installation
Manual. For more information about the RS-422 serial connections, see the “Serial
Connections” section in the
Routers
chapter of the Kaleido-X User’s Manual.
Note:
The two RS-422 ports on the multiviewer side have no ground pin.
Using the appropriate DE-9S-to-RJ-45 adapter, an external device should be
able to communicate with a multiviewer despite the lack of a ground.
