Routers & Kaleido-X
This chapter describes how Kaleido-X can be configured to control external routers, to act
as a router itself, and to communicate with third-party router controllers.
Overview
The Kaleido-X is designed for flexible integration with a variety of routing devices. It can be configured to
control and be controlled by a variety of routing devices. The Kaleido-X (7RU) has an internal router option,
which offers switching of up to 192 unprocessed inputs to 96HD/SD outputs for feeding monitors, test
equipment and master control or production switchers. The Kaleido-X itself can also be configured as a
router and provide switching of its channel sources to router card outputs or monitor wall destinations.
Routing Switchers
Kaleido-X interfaces with most routing switchers, via Ethernet or serial connection, for router control and
dynamic text label tracking. The interface allows dynamic source updates from the router, and quick access
to any router sources using the On-screen Mouse control. Kaleido-X can also save source assignments on
the layout presets, and reconfigure the router from a recall of a layout preset.
For quality control applications, the monitor wall pointer (controlled by a mouse connected via an RCP2
control panel) can be used to assign a selected source to a monitoring output bus. This creates a highly
intuitive and rapid quality control capability. Miranda is working closely with Pro-Bel and NVision to
provide a cost-reduced, multi-image/routing solution, with compelling integration and a direct download
of the sources text database to the Kaleido-X.
See “Third-Party Devices” on page 317 for more information on configuring supported production
switchers to interact with the Kaleido-X.
