Kaleido-Modular-X
Quick Start Guide
15 Connect a reference source (if available) to one or more reference inputs.
You can now proceed with the networking setup (see Step 2: Networking Setup , on
page 21).
Bridging the Input and Output Cards in a Kaleido-Modular-X
The Kaleido-Modular-X requires FlexBridge connections between the input and output
cards. Use the DIN-DIN coax cables that shipped with your system to make these physical
connections. The number of cables required depends on the number of input and output
cards (see
Required Materials , on page 3).
Note: When the M3 output card is installed in the lower output bays of an
NV8576 router frame, its backplane is upside down and the ordering of its
ports differs from when the backplane is installed in the upper bays (right
side up) of an NV8576 frame. Refer to NV8500 M3 Backplane Connections, in
the Kaleido-Modular-X Hardware Description & Installation Manual to
determine the correct mapping between router outputs and multiviewer
inputs, when using the M3 cable.
Note: Unless your system includes a 4K UHD prescaler card (see step 9 , and
step 13 above), a reference is optional. If minimal processing delay is
required for your monitoring purposes, then you must reference your
system. However, if you must monitor 50 Hz input signals on 60 Hz displays
(or vice-versa), then do not reference your system.
To properly reference a Kaleido-Modular-X system, either:
• Connect all reference inputs on all the KMX-3901-IN input cards, or
• Use a REF-1801 card externally connected to the house reference, in every
Densité frame that contains KMX-3901-IN input cards. The REF-1801 will
distribute the reference to all cards in the frame internally through the URS
on the frame mid-plane.
