Limitations

When the entire upgrade process has successfully completed, a red button appears at
the bottom of the upgrade dashboard, prompting you to restart the multiviewer.

15 Click the Upgrade complete button to restart the system.

The multiviewer now restarts. This may take up to 30 seconds.

16 Remove the USB key from the USB port.

You have now completed the upgrade, for both multiviewers in this cascade.

Limitations

In the current version of the Kaleido-X software, cascade systems are subject to the
following limitations:

Full screen layouts are not supported.

Changing a display resolution from the monitor wall menu is not supported and will

break the underlying cluster’s integrity. You must use XEdit to configure the display
resolution (see “Changing Room Display Resolutions” in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual).
In the advent that such a change was made by mistake, you will have to repair the
broken cascade as follows:

1 Connect to the multiviewer associated with the display whose resolution was

changed by mistake, and open the corresponding room.

• If you wish to restore the previous resolution, then set this display to its previous

resolution.

• If you wish to apply the new resolution, then change something in the room to

enable the Save button (e.g. move a display and then bring it back to its initial
position).

2 On the File menu, click Save.

Some changes are not automatically propagated to all members of a cascade. If you

wish to have the same configuration for every multiviewer in a cascade, then the
following elements must be manually replicated: system calibrations, audio monitoring
output assignment for each RCP user, sources/channels and router configurations,
pointer size configuration.

• If two multiviewers in a cascade are connected to the same router, then the router

name should be the same in both configurations. Conversely, two different routers in
the same cascade must not have the same name.

• Serial ports are not shared between cascade members. A serial device connected to

one multiviewer in a cascade is not known to the other cascade members.

• Audio monitoring is not supported.

RCP operation: In the case of a cascade system, monitor wall functions performed via

the associated buttons on a Kaleido-RCP2 or RCP-200 (ASPECT RATIO, UNDERSCAN,

Note:

After changing the pointer size for a room, on all multiviewers in a

cascade, you must restart every multiviewer, for the change to become
effective across the cascade system.
