4K UHD Spanning
Kaleido-MX, and Kaleido-Modular-X multiviewers support seamless 4K UHD output, to
either four 1080p borderless displays, or a single quad link 4K UHD display. Kaleido-MX 4K
multiviewers support seamless 4K UHD output to a single quad link 4K UHD display. For
best results, avoid spanning layout elements across multiple heads. For example, a layout
with 9 or 25 monitors positioned as a 3
× 3 or 5 × 5 grid will require more processing.
If you must use a layout with composite monitors spanning multiple heads, you should
make sure that any video windows horizontally straddling head boundaries have at least ¼
of their width on either side, and that graphical elements such as time code monitors and
audio monitors, within the composites, are placed in a way that they do not straddle head
boundaries.
See Creating a 4K UHD Room on page 208, Creating 4K UHD Upscale Layouts , on page 241,
and Creating Layouts to Monitor 4K UHD Quad Link Sources , on page 243.
