XEdit Installation

Step 3: XEdit Installation

XEdit is a client application used to create layouts for the monitor wall, and to configure
your multiviewer system, from your PC or laptop. When the computer with XEdit is
connected to the multiviewer through a TCP/IP network, you can use XEdit to modify
layouts and settings directly on the multiviewer, or you can work locally on the computer
and then export your changes to the multiviewer.

To install XEdit from your multiviewer’s home page

1 From a workstation on the same subnet as the multiviewer, open a Web browser

window and type the multiviewer’s IP address in the address bar.

The multiviewer’s home page appears.

2 Click the XEdit button.

The browser prompts you to save an executable file to your hard drive (

Kaleido-

windows32-online.exe

2

). This file is an online installer, which will download XEdit and

other companion elements from your multiviewer, and install them. Some browsers
may allow you to run the file directly. Depending on your browser’s security features,
warnings may appear, which you may safely dismiss.

3 Unless your browser let you run the file (and you chose to do so), navigate to the

location were you saved the installer file and open it.

More security warnings or prompts may appear, which you may safely dismiss or
accept.

A window appears, showing the download and installation progress.
