Router Configuration Scenarios
Controlling an external router
1 An operator chooses an assignment option on the monitor wall menu (e.g., “switch
output 2 of external router A to QC monitor”).
2 The Kaleido-X software interprets the command, and sends it to the designated router
over a serial or TCP/IP connection, using the appropriate router protocol.
3 The router receives the command and executes a crosspoint switch, either changing
the signal on one of its connections to a multiviewer input, or…
4 …sending the signal to another device (e.g., vector scope, QC monitor, ISO recorder).
Note:
In the same way, from the monitor wall, it is possible to change
crosspoints on the multiviewer’s internal router (if available), when its
physical levels are configured in the context of the KX Router logical router’s
first level.
