Router Control Configurations
Multiviewers can be configured for router control in five ways:
Router service The Kaleido-X router service is the software component responsible for
communicating with physical routers, and for managing crosspoint change
requests coming from router controllers.
Internal Router The Kaleido-X (7RU) and Kaleido-X16 multiviewers feature built-in routing
which eliminates the need for separate routing in control rooms, and
provides a significant cost saving. Up to 48 unprocessed, baseband outputs
can be provided from any of the 96 HD / SD-SDI inputs to each Kaleido-X
(7RU) processor. In the case of a Kaleido-X16, up to 2 baseband outputs can
be provided from any of the 16 inputs. These outputs can be used to feed
high quality CRT monitors, test equipment such as waveform scopes, as well
as ISO recorders. The outputs can even feed other multiviewers.
The router outputs can be controlled from the monitor wall menu, by a
Nevion (Network Electronics) remote control panel via a serial connection, by
a Grass Valley (Miranda/NVISION) system controller via a TCP/IP connection,
or by a production switcher’s auxiliary bus controls. The router outputs can
be controlled by external controllers via the following protocols: VikinX
Compact (serial), VikinX Modular (TCP/IP), NVISION (TCP/IP), Snell (Pro-Bel)
(serial, TCP/IP) or manually from the Router Control Matrix application
available from the Kaleido-X Web page.
The built-in router improves integration, and reduces cabling and equipment
costs. The routing capability eliminates the need for a separate router for the
following applications:
• feeding baseband high quality monitors anywhere in a facility
• feeding test equipment for quality control monitoring
• feeding a secondary multiviewer for output expansion
• feeding an ISO recorder in production studios

the actual sources and destination may be.
1.i.e., the 24 BNC outputs on a KXO-24Router card for a Kaleido-X (7RU), or the two RT OUT ports on a
Kaleido-X16. The other multiviewer models do not have router outputs.
