Note:
The Kaleido-MX (1RU) offers a wide variety of ports for incoming and
outgoing signals. With a view towards future expansion, there are ports
whose connections exist but that are currently not fully supported. The
FlexBridge IN ports are reserved for future expansion, and the SFP ports are
not yet supported.
Note:
In the case of the HDMI outputs, HD-SDI monitoring outputs, and
analog audio outputs, in each pair, the output associated with the second
head is NOT enabled if your Kaleido-MX is a single-head model.
