Q: What is a “Network router”?
A: The phrase “Network router” has the obvious connotation of a router available on a network.
However, in the context of Miranda’s Monitoring and Control applications, it can also refer to a device
now manufactured by Nevion (www.nevion.com)—formerly Network Electronics Ltd.—such as a
VikinX router.
Q: What are the three different Router Controller items (i.e. Network Compact and the two
Pro-Bel items) in the Equipment library?
A: They are all used for controlling either the multi-viewer’s internal router, or any logical router.

The
only difference is the protocol used to communicate with the multi-viewer.
Q: My internal router card shows up in the Routers list in XEdit as “OPTION A (Video
120 × 48)”. Does this mean it has 120 inputs and 48 outputs?
A: No. Each card can route up to 96 inputs to 24 physical outputs, and so has an actual size of 96 × 24.
“120 × 48 “refers to the size of the router card when including other internal connections that are used
for router expansion.

Configuring an External Router
The process of creating and configuring an external router (e.g. a third-party router or router control panel)
for use with your Kaleido-X system consists of 4 steps:
• defining the physical router
• adding one or more physical levels
• creating one or more logical routers
• adding one or more logical levels
1. Controlling a logical router from an upstream router control device or application is supported since version 3.00 of the
Kaleido-X Software.
