Kaleido-X
User’s Manual
1 An operator right-clicks a monitor and assigns a logical source by using the Assign
Source window.
2 The Router connections tab in XEdit allows you to map physical connections between
a number of INPUT connectors on the multiviewer and the upstream router’s OUTPUTs
that feed them, which allows the Kaleido-X software to determine the crosspoint
switch needed. See
Configuring Router Connections on page 393 for details.
3 The multiviewer sends this command to the external router, over a serial or TCP/IP
connection, using the appropriate protocol.
4 The external router redirects the specified source signal.
5 The new signal follows the physical connection to one of the multiviewer inputs
reserved for this purpose, is processed, and appears on the monitor wall.
Note: It may also be possible to select a source from the Assign [router]
input menu (see Changing an External Router Crosspoint on page 57).
However, as of version 5.20 of the Kaleido-X software, Grass Valley strongly
recommends configuring the KX Router logical router to cover all routing
purposes within the multiviewer system.
