Creating a 4K UHD Room
Whether your Kaleido-MX, or Kaleido-Modular-X is to feed 4K UHD output to four 1080p
borderless displays, or to a single quad link 4K UHD display, the room you configure in XEdit
requires four output heads assigned to four 1080p displays: one for each quadrant. The
same requirement applies to Kaleido-MX 4K systems as well.
Notes
• A room name cannot exceed 7 characters.
• A room can only be saved once every display has been assigned an output
head (see Adding Displays on page 211).
• In a cluster system, each room must have a unique name across the whole
system. XEdit will not let you use a name if there is already a room with this
name associated with one of the multiviewers within the cluster.
• In a cluster system, if one of the member multiviewers becomes
unavailable while you were configuring a room, then XEdit will not let you
save the room. If you wish to save the room anyway, first remove any
unavailable multiviewer from the cluster.
Notes
• 4K UHD rooms do not support rotated displays.
