KMV-3901/3911 Cascade
Step-by-Step Configuration
7 Remove the USB key from the current USB port, insert it in any USB port on the next
multiviewer, and repeat the procedure (from step 3 ), until you have updated all
multiviewers in this cascade.
Limitations
In the current version of the Kaleido-X software, cascade systems are subject to the
following limitations:
• XAdmin may fail to report the system’s genlock source, reference format, and related
statuses for the second- and third-layer cards (i.e. the ones that are not directly
connected to a monitor wall display). iControl alarm browsers, and filtered system lists
that display alarms in XEdit may also incorrectly report a reference input loss for these
cards.
• Restarting one of the cards may result in a blank monitor wall display. If you restart the
card associated with the third layer of a cascade, then restart the card associated with
the second layer. Once the card associated with the second layer has restarted, then
restart the card associated with the first layer as well.
• An output resolution of 1600 × 1200 is not supported.
• Full screen layouts are not supported.
• Changing the system name or IP address of a KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer associated
with a cascade, by using the card’s control panel on the Densité housing frame, or by
using the KMV-3901/3911 control panel in iControl, is not supported. To maintain the
integrity of the underlying cluster configuration, you must use XAdmin, or the monitor
wall menu, to make any such changes. In the advent that such a change was made by
mistake, or that is had to be forced for some reason, you will have to repair the broken
cascade (see
Repairing a Cascade Configuration on page 7 for details).
• Changing a display resolution from the monitor wall menu is not supported and will
break the underlying cluster’s integrity. You must use XEdit to configure the display
resolution (see “Changing Room Display Resolutions” in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual).
In the advent that such a change was made by mistake, you will have to repair the
broken cascade as follows:
1 Connect to the multiviewer associated with the display whose resolution was
changed by mistake, and open the corresponding room.
Note: If you notice a lack of luminance or corrupted video on some monitor
wall displays, then restart the corresponding multiviewer card once more,
by clicking the Reset button on XAdmin’s Status and Options page.
