Network Considerations & Port Usage
Kaleido-IP
In the case of a Kaleido-IP multiviewer, it is possible to add and configure up to 6000 logical
sources without exceeding the network’s bandwidth or the unit’s decoding resources.
10
Refer to the Kaleido-IP video inputs section (under “Supported Input/Output Formats”), in
the Kaleido-X Release Notes, for details on the number of programs and total streaming
bandwidth supported.
The Kaleido-IP multiviewer joins a multicast group only when decoding is required, that is
when a source is being monitored on the wall. In addition, streams that are not decoded are
joined momentarily in a polling manner—one stream at a time—to update the PMT and
PAT information. The Kaleido-IP leaves the multicast group as soon as a change of layout
implies that a different set of streams must be decoded.
However, if your situation involves frequent changes of layout (e.g., loading a new layout to
the monitor wall every minute), then, when you are creating or editing a layout, make sure
to terminate XEdit’s connection to the Kaleido-IP once configuration tasks are completed
(see
Disconnecting from a Multiviewer on page 78).
TCP/UDP Port Usage
The various Kaleido-X services require access to specific ports. In networks where a firewall
is present between device A and device B, the ports used to communicate from device A to
device B must be open on the incoming (external) side of the firewall.
From client to multiviewer
The following ports must be open on the Client (e.g., workstation running XEdit):
10.In the case of a Kaleido-IP X300 model, to support more than 1500 sources, the multiviewer’s RAM must
be upgraded to 24 GB. Refer to the “Kaleido-IP X300 Memory Modules” section, in the Kaleido-X Release
Notes, for installation instructions. The Kaleido-IP X100 is limited to 1500 sources.
Note: All necessary ports are open by default on the multiviewer. There is
no mechanism provided for changing the default settings.
