KXO-EXP-R
The front panel (KXO-EXP-F) is complemented by a rear panel that provides all input and
output connectors associated with the card.
The table below describes the connectors and switch on the rear panel:
Signal Synchronization
A reference signal can be connected to either Frame A or Frame B to synchronize (genlock)
the two-frame system. For redundancy, connect both.
Software
XAdmin
In addition to its other administrative functions, XAdmin is used to enable the expansion
mode, and define the IP address scheme. Before two Kaleido-X systems are joined, each
frame and its output cards have their own IP addresses. In expansion mode, a single IP
address is assigned for the whole expansion system, and individual IP addresses for the
output cards of both frames are assigned from the same page, in XAdmin.
