Managing Kaleido-X Systems

Detailed Directions
Creating and maintaining a Kaleido-X system involves a number of file management tasks, including
backup and restore operations. The XEdit software is used to perform these tasks. Some tasks are done
online, others in offline mode. Most are available in both modes.
A local database is used as a workspace to save layouts and related configuration data temporarily while
you are building your Kaleido-X system in offline mode. If you need to build more than one system, you
can keep working with the same database, and use the backup tool to save the data for each system
separately. To further work on a specific system you would then use the retrieve backup tool. See
“Managing Multiple Databases Efficiently” on page 90 for an overview of the recommended workflow.
Opening the XEdit Software
When using XEdit offline, you work inside a workspace located on your client PC. When you first open XEdit,
a window will prompt you for the location for this workspace. It is recommended to consider this
workspace as a sandbox into which you will always first import the database you wish to work on during
the current session, and from which you will export the database at the end of the session.
To open XEdit:
1. Double-click the XEdit icon on your desktop: .
A startup screen appears, followed by the Database Location window.
In XAdmin the virtual slot/card concept is represented as follows:
• Cards in virtual slots have no name.
• There is no reset button associated with each card. Instead, there is a
single multi-viewer reset button that sends a reboot command to the
multi-viewer.
• Cards in virtual slots have no serial number. Instead, there is one serial
number for the multi-viewer.
• Cards in virtual slots do not have individual IP addresses. There is only
one IP address, which is associated with the multi-viewer.
Calibration Calibration refers to the configuration of different card attributes. For example,
an output card’s
Brightness and Contrast attributes can be calibrated, or an input
card’s Silence threshold attribute. See “Calibrating the Kaleido-X” on page 93, for
details.
Peripheral devices A peripheral device is an external piece of equipment, such as a router or
production switcher, that can be connected to the multi-viewer.
