Setting Up Your Kaleido-X (7RU) Multiviewer
XEdit Installation
7 Change the ABT’s network settings, as necessary, and then click Apply & Reboot.
Step 3: XEdit Installation
XEdit is a client application used to create layouts for the monitor wall, and to configure
your multiviewer system, from your PC or laptop. When the computer with XEdit is
connected to the Kaleido-X through a TCP/IP network, you can use XEdit to modify layouts
and settings directly on the Kaleido-X, or you can work locally on the computer and then
export your changes to the Kaleido-X.
To install XEdit from your multiviewer’s home page
1 From a workstation on the same subnet as the multiviewer, open a Web browser
window and type the multiviewer’s IP address in the address bar.
The multiviewer’s home page appears.
2 Click the XEdit button.
The browser prompts you to save an executable file to your hard drive ( Kaleido-
windows32-online.exe
1
). This file is an online installer, which will download XEdit and
other companion elements from your multiviewer, and install them. Some browsers
may allow you to run the file directly. Depending on your browser’s security features,
warnings may appear, which you may safely dismiss.
3 Unless your browser let you run the file (and you chose to do so), navigate to the
location were you saved the installer file and open it.
More security warnings or prompts may appear, which you may safely dismiss or
accept.
A window appears, showing the download and installation progress.
Note: If you purchased more than one Audio Bridge Terminal unit, keep in
mind that they all ship with the same default static IP address. Make sure to
assign each of them a different static IP address before connecting them to
the network, if DHCP is not used.
