Setting Up Your Kaleido-X16 Multiviewer
Physical Setup
The Kaleido-X16 multiviewer has been configured to automatically detect the
resolution of any connected display. If the required information is not available, then a
fall-back resolution of 1280 × 1024 @ 60 Hz is used.
2 Connect at least one output of the multiviewer to a display that supports this
resolution (see Cabling Diagram , on page 9).
• Monitor wall displays: Connect the multiviewer’s MV OUT outputs to the displays.
• Broadcast monitors: If your installation involves broadcast monitors, connect
them to the appropriate SDI outputs. It is also possible to connect SDI OUT outputs
to a router. Refer to Configuring the HD-SDI Monitoring Output Format
, in the
Kaleido-X User’s Manual, for instructions on setting the scan format.
If you wish to use a different resolution, see Changing the Output Resolution , below, for
detailed instructions.
3 Connect one or more video sources to your multiviewer’s inputs (see Cabling Diagram ,
on page 9).
4 Check the LEDs in the Kaleido-X16 frame. Make sure that none are indicating an error
condition (see table below). If a LED indicates an error condition, refer to your
multiviewer’s Hardware Description and Installation Manual.
Notes
• The Kaleido-RCP2, and Audio Bridge Terminal (ABT) are optional devices,
and may not have been shipped with your Kaleido-X16 system. For
information on these and other Kaleido-X16 options, please contact your
Grass Valley sales representative.
• You may need to upgrade your Audio Bridge Terminal and Kaleido-RCP2
devices (if available) to the latest firmware. The update files can be found
on the DVD that shipped with your multiviewer, and on the Grass Valley
website. Please refer to the Kaleido-RCP2 Guide to Installation and
Operation, and to the Audio Bridge Terminal Guide to Installation and
Operation (available on the DVD, and from the Documentation Library
section of Grass Valley’s website) for instructions on how to determine the
firmware level, and how to perform the upgrade for these devices.
Note: If your display is not collocated with your Kaleido-X16 frame you may
choose to employ a DXF-200 transmitter/receiver device that allows you to
install a display up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) from the signal source. For
more information on the DXF-200, refer to the DXF-200 DVI/HDMI Optical
Extension System User’s Manual (part no. M916-9900-104).
