Introduction
Kaleido-K2, Kaleido-Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual, Kaleido-X, Kaleido-X16, KMV-3901/3911, and
Kaleido-IP multiviewers can execute commands received via a gateway, allowing third-
party developers and individual users remote access to some functions of the multiviewer's
operating system. This document describes the Gateway functionality, and defines the
commands that are available.
In this document, the term Kaleido is used to describe features common to the Kaleido-K2,
Kaleido-Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual, and Kaleido-X series of multiviewers. The term Kaleido-X
series refers to the Kaleido-X, Kaleido-X16, KMV-3901/3911, Kaleido-XQUAD, Kaleido-IP,
Kaleido-MX, and Kaleido-Modular-X multiviewer models. Features exclusive to any one of
these products will be described using the full product name (e.g., Kaleido-K2, Kaleido-X,
Kaleido-IP, etc.).
Software Versions
The information in this document applies to software released up to the date of
publication, beginning with the versions given here for each Kaleido product:
Remote Operation of a Multiviewer via TCP/IP
To send commands to your multiviewer’s Gateway, you can use a Terminal Emulation
(telnet) program or create your own application using the language of your choice (e.g.,
C++, Visual Basic, Java). Refer to
A Typical Session , on page 25, for a sample scenario using
HyperTerminal. The commands are described in the next chapter (see Gateway Commands ,
on page 5).
• Kaleido-Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual and Kaleido-X series multiviewer systems can execute
commands received on port 13000 via TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol). On these multiviewers, the port 13000 is always ON, and no configuration is
required.
• Kaleido-K2 multiviewers can execute commands received via either the multiviewer’s
internal gateway (preferred), or via its MT-gateway (deprecated). The internal gateway
supports all Kaleido-K2 Gateway commands when connected via port 13000. When
connected via port 10001, it supports the
command only. (This
command is exclusive to the Kaleido-K2.)
