User’s Manual

Translating commands from external router controllers

1 A system controller—e.g., Grass Valley (Miranda/NVISION) NV9000, Snell (Pro-Bel)

Aurora, Nevion (Network Electronics) VikinX—sends a router command to an external
router connected to the multiviewer.

2 The Kaleido-X software detects the command, translates it to the appropriate router

protocol and, then sends it to the designated router over a serial or TCP/IP connection.

3 The router (or “Level” in a cascade) 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).
