Kaleido Miranda’s Kaleido line of multi-image display processors features auto-sensing HD-SDI, SDI, and/or analog composite
video inputs, and a high quality DVI output with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The Kaleido offers advanced video and audio probing, including the following alarms: signal black, freeze and
luminance too high, audio presence, overload, mono and out-of-phase. The feature-rich display can also include
audio level metering (embedded, AES and analog), along with Source IDs, tallies, aspect ratio markers, and
clocks/timers.
M-Audio Transit USB Third party audio transcoder, USB-based. Enables an Allégro-1-RGB to receive analog audio output from a
Kaleido-Alto/Quad.
RMI daemon Remote Method Invocation daemon, a service that enables Java objects to communicate with each other remotely.
This service is necessary for iControl applications.
URI A Uniform Resource Identifier is string of characters used to identify a resource. In iControl, URIs are used to identify
each and every element of a network—from hardware devices, such as cards and frames, to logical resources, such
as services, alarms, Web pages and user interface elements.
Virtual Alarm A virtual alarm is a special type of alarm that allows a logical combination of multiple arbitrary alarms. A virtual alarm
is made up of one or more sub-alarms. Technically a virtual alarm is an alarm provider that provides a single alarm.
Any alarms in iControl—including other virtual alarms—can be combined together to form a new, higher-level alarm
(provided the new virtual alarm does not create a cyclical dependency).
XEdit XEdit is the Kaleido-X layout editor, a software intended to be run on a remote computer. Its purpose is to create and
