USB
The Kaleido-X16 has three USB 1.0 connectors (see USB , on page 29 for specification
details). Connect a mouse, keyboard, or USB flash memory for a software upgrade or data
backup. Two connectors are on the rear connector panel, and one is on the front of the
frame behind the front cover.

RS-422
The Kaleido-X16 supports two RS-422 serial inputs over RJ-45 connectors. These inputs
allow the Kaleido-X16 to connect to external serial devices such as a router, production
switcher, or router controller.
The pinout for the RS-422 signals on the Kaleido-X16’s RJ-45 connectors, and the wiring
diagrams for the appropriate adapters, are shown here:
Note: The Kaleido-X16’s two RS-422 ports each have an RJ-45 connector in
order to preserve space on a busy panel. The RS-422 interface specifies a
DE-9 connector, so if you are using this interface, you will require a
DE-9-to-RJ-45 adapter. Grass Valley supplies two adapter models, correctly
wired for this application: a straight adapter (part no. 1737-3000-102), and a
crossover adapter (part no. 1792-3700-100).
