Router Configuration Scenarios
Controlling external routers in a cascade
1 An operator chooses an assignment option on the monitor wall menu (e.g., “switch
output 23 of external router A, Level 2 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 physical router receives the command, and then relays it to the other physical
routers in the cascade using an internal communications mechanism (e.g., MIDI).
4 When the targeted Level receives the command, it executes a crosspoint switch, either
changing the signal on one of its connections to a multiviewer input, or…
5 …sending the signal to another device (e.g., vector scope, QC monitor, ISO recorder).
