Detailed Directions
This section describes the actions you can perform on the Kaleido-X monitor wall.
Logging on to the Monitor Wall Using a Remote Control Panel
As network devices, the RCP-200 advanced remote control panel, and the Kaleido-RCP2
control panel provides access to any room, from any Kaleido-X system on the network. As a
security measure, access is controlled by a login procedure. Multiple RCP-200 and Kaleido-
RCP2 can be used by different users to access the same room concurrently. When multiple
RCP users are active in the same room, they each control a separate pointer on the monitor
wall, and can use the monitor wall menu independently, as long as they limit their actions
to separate displays.
In a default system configuration, a multiviewer’s video outputs are assigned to specific
rooms:
• On a Kaleido-X (7RU), the two DVI/VGA outputs from each of the dual-head output
cards A, B, C and D are assigned to ROOM1, ROOM2, ROOM3 and ROOM4 respectively.
• On a Kaleido-X (4RU), the two DVI/VGA outputs from each of the dual-head output
cards A and B are assigned to ROOM1 and ROOM2 respectively.
• On a Kaleido-X (14RU) expansion system, the two DVI/VGA outputs from each of the
dual-head output cards A, B and C of each of Frame A and Frame B are assigned to
ROOM1, ROOM2, ROOM3, ROOM4, ROOM5 and ROOM6 respectively.
• On a Kaleido-X16-D, the HDMI outputs from each of the output modules are assigned
to ROOMX16.
• On a Kaleido-X16-S, the HDMI output is assigned to ROOMX16.
• On a KMV-3901/3911, Kaleido-XQUAD, or Kaleido-XQUAD-DUAL, the HDMI outputs are
assigned to ROOM1.
• On a Kaleido-IP, the multiviewer outputs are assigned to ROOM.
• Latching only occurs when an alarm severity is above normal (i.e., minor,
major, or critical). All other alarm states (unavailable, unassigned, pending,
unknown, etc.) are not latched.
• Unlatching a global alarm unlatches all its contributing alarms. Unlatching
the last alarm contributing to a global alarm unlatches the global alarm
itself.
• The color of the latch indicator reflects the highest level of alarm received
since the corresponding alarm was last unlatched.
Crosspoint A multiviewer can control upstream routers, and it can also be controlled as a
router itself. In addition, some multiviewer models—Kaleido-X16, Kaleido-
X (7RU), and Kaleido-X (14RU)—can have optional router outputs. A
crosspoint is the link inside a router between a source (input) and a
destination (output). See
Changing Crosspoints on page 54.
Note: As of Kaleido-X version 5.20, the preferred method of controlling
sources, regardless of whether they are sources from an upstream router or
physical multiviewer inputs, is to configure logical sources.
