Configuring a KMV-3901/3911 Cascade

Limitations

• If you wish to restore the previous resolution, then set this display to its previous

resolution.

• If you wish to apply the new resolution, then change something in the room to

enable the Save button (e.g. move a display and then bring it back to its initial
position).

2 On the File menu, click Save. Alternatively, click the Save button on the toolbar.

Some changes are not automatically propagated to all members of a cascade. If you

wish to have the same configuration for every multiviewer in a cascade, then the
following elements must be manually replicated: system calibrations, audio monitoring
output assignment for each RCP user, sources/channels and router configurations,
pointer size configuration.

• If two multiviewers in a cascade are connected to the same router, then the router

name should be the same in both configurations. Conversely, two different routers in
the same cascade must not have the same name.

• Serial ports are not shared between cascade members. A serial device connected to

one multiviewer in a cascade is not known to the other cascade members.

RCP operation: In the case of a cascade system, monitor wall functions performed via

the associated buttons on a Kaleido-RCP2 or RCP-200 (ASPECT RATIO, UNDERSCAN,
FULL SCREEN, etc.) only work in parts of the layout associated with the multiviewer that
is directly connected to the displays.
Workaround: Use the monitor wall menu.

• In the case of a KMV-3901/3911 cascade room with two heads, spanning monitors

across the two displays is not supported.

• Working against the same cascade system in concurrent XEdit sessions is not

supported.

• EDID auto-detection is not supported. When configuring a cascade room, make sure

the Use detected monitor resolution check box is not selected for any of its displays.
Refer to “Enabling EDID Auto-Detection from the Monitor Wall“, or “Enabling EDID
Auto-Detection in XEdit“, in the Kaleido-X User’s Manual, for details.

Note:

After changing the pointer size for a room, on all multiviewers in a

cascade, you must restart every multiviewer, for the change to become
effective across the cascade system.
