Overview
Kaleido multiviewer systems support most production switchers and other tally interface
devices such as UMD controllers and automation systems, via a serial or network
connection. Some timer systems and GPI I/O modules are also supported via a network
connection. The multiviewer can dynamically update monitor wall elements to reflect text
and status updates from the devices.
