About this Document
The Kaleido-X User’s Manual is intended to help you leverage the full working potential of
the Kaleido-X software and XEdit application for controlling and monitoring audio, and
video broadcast signal paths for interfacing, routing distribution and other peripheral
devices.
The Kaleido-X series hardware—including the Kaleido-IP, Kaleido-MX, Kaleido-MX 4K,
Kaleido-Modular-X, Kaleido-Modular KMV-3901/3911, Kaleido-XQUAD, Kaleido-X16, and
Kaleido-X multiviewer models—and the associated software products are designed and
produced by Grass Valley.
For installation instructions, refer to the Quick Start Guide that shipped with your
multiviewer. Once you have completed your multiviewer’s initial installation, perform a
system verification (see
Verifying your System Configuration on page 13), load a layout on
the monitor wall if you haven’t done so already (see Loading a Layout on page 19), and then
review the more advanced topics in Administration and Servicing , on page 461, to fine-
tune your initial system configuration.
After you have established that your basic configuration works as expected, move on to the
other chapters in this manual, to complete your system configuration until it meets your
monitoring requirements.
Note: In line with our commitment to environmental preservation, only the
Quick Start Guide for your multiviewer model, and some ancillary
documents (e.g., welcome letters, warranty cards) are distributed in printed
form. All manuals and the Release Notes are available on the Kaleido-X DVD.
You can obtain the latest version of the manuals, the Release Notes, as well
as software and useful data, from the Documentation Library section of
Grass Valley’s website.
