Operation

The Kaleido-MX 4K can be controlled in different ways:

• In the housing frame, you can monitor card operating status of your Kaleido-MX 4K

input and output cards by looking at the card-edge LEDs (see

Card Button and LED

Interface

, on page 18), and use the Densité CPU-ETH2 local control panel and its

buttons to navigate menus and adjust parameter values (see

Using the Densité Frame

Control Panel

, on page 22).

• The loading and management of layouts is handled via a Java-based application, XEdit,

accessed through a dedicated Ethernet port (refer to the Kaleido-X User’s Manual).

• Grass Valley’s iControl system can be used to access the card’s operating parameters

from a remote computer, using a convenient graphical user interface (see

Remote

Control Using iControl

, on page 24).

• A GPI interface allows remote layout selection.

• The RCP-200 advanced remote control panel, and the Kaleido-RCP2 control panel allow

you to perform operations on the monitor wall, either by themselves or in association
with an external keyboard and a mouse. Refer to the RCP-200, Kaleido-RCP2, and
Kaleido-X documentation (available on the Kaleido-X DVD that shipped with your
system).
