the multiviewer, from your PC or laptop.

•The Router Control Software Single Bus and Matrix View applications (also part of the
iRouter Router Control Software packaged with iControl Application Servers) can be
used to control your multiviewer’s logical sources and monitor wall destinations, via
the KX Router logical router, or to control other logical routers configured within your
multiviewer system.

A Kaleido-IP multiviewer system in its default configuration includes a predefined room
and some layouts. Once you have connected your Kaleido-IP to your local management

Notes

• The Kaleido-RCP2 is an optional device, and may not have been shipped
with your Kaleido-IP system. For information on this and other options for
your multiviewer system, please contact your Grass Valley sales
representative.

• You may need to upgrade your Kaleido-RCP2 devices (if available) to the
latest firmware. The update file can be found on the DVD that shipped with
your multiviewer, and on Grass Valley’s support portal. Please refer to the
Kaleido-RCP2 Guide to Installation and Operation (available on the DVD, and
from the portal), for instructions on how to determine the firmware level,
and how to perform the upgrade.

× 1080 @ 60 Hz (HDTV) (see Cabling Diagram, on page 7).

Notes

• Depending on your display type, you may use the DisplayPort-to-HDMI
that shipped with your system, or DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters (not
included).

• Although the Kaleido-IP unit has one DVI and two DisplayPort outputs,
only the two DisplayPort outputs are used.

• To disconnect a display cable at the DisplayPort outputs, you may need to
use an object (e.g., the blade of a flat screwdriver) to reach the cable’s
locking mechanism.

• If your displays are not collocated with your Kaleido-IP unit, you may
choose to employ DXF-200 transmitter/receiver devices that allow you to
install a display up to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) from the signal source. In
this case, use a proper DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable between the Kaleido-IP
and the DXF-200-TX module. Stringing DisplayPort-to-DVI and DVI-to­HDMI adapters together between the multiviewer and the DXF-200 is not
a supported configuration.
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).

IMPORTANT

Should you wish to add or replace a display or AV receiver at a later time,
make sure the multiviewer is powered off, before making these changes. In
the advent that you have connected such a device while the multiviewer was
running, you must restart the multiviewer for audio monitoring to be
functional. Refer to Restarting and Shutting Down a Kaleido-IP Multiviewer, in
the Kaleido-X User’s Manual.

XEdit Installation

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 multiviewer through a TCP/IP network, you can use XEdit to modify
layouts and settings directly on the multiviewer, or you can work locally on the computer
and then export your changes to the multiviewer.

To install XEdit from your multiviewer’s home page

menu. Whenever you install a new version of the Kaleido-X software on the
multiviewer, the next time you open XEdit, your installed copy of the
application will be automatically updated from the multiviewer.

For more information about calibrating your system, configuring rooms, creating layouts,
and operating the monitor wall, refer to the Kaleido-X User’s Manual, available on the DVD
that shipped with your system, and from Grass Valley’s support portal.

Step 4: System Setup

Before you can proceed with monitor wall operation, you must use XEdit to add transport
streams to your Kaleido-IP system configuration, define logical sources based on the signals
you wish to monitor, configure monitor wall destinations (if desired), and configure the
required rooms and layouts for your purposes. Although it is possible to partly configure
your system by using XEdit in offline mode, you may initially prefer to work in online mode,
to take advantage of the predefined room and layouts that are available in the default
configuration. In any case, you must work in online mode, at least once, to obtain the list of
programs and elementary streams under each transport stream. The supported stream
types are source-specific multicast, source-filtered multicast (filtering limited to a single
source IP in include mode only), any-source multicast, and unicast. The procedures in this
section apply to the online mode.

Disposal and Recycling Information

Your Grass Valley equipment comes with at least one lithium button battery (Li-MnO

located on the main printed circuit board.

Before disposing of your Grass Valley equipment, please remove the battery as follows:

1 Make sure the equipment’s AC adapters are unplugged from the power outlet.
2 Remove the protective cover from your equipment.
3 Gently remove the battery from its casing using a blunt instrument for leverage such as

a screwdriver if necessary.
4 Dispose of the battery and equipment according to your local environmental laws and

guidelines.

)

IMPORTANT

Be careful not to short-circuit the batteries by adhering to the appropriate
safe handling practices. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Batteries may explode if damaged or overheated. Do not dispose of
batteries as household waste. Do not dismantle, open or shred batteries.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

33

Disposal and Recycling Information

IMPORTANT (continued)

The electrolyte of the batteries contains 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) (CAS
110-71-4, EINECS 203-794-9) above 0.1% by weight. DME is listed as a
Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) by the regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
of the European Parliament and of the Council. It is classified as a reprotoxic
of category 2 in the European Union. Accordingly, exposure to DME may
impair fertility and may cause harm to the unborn child. DME is also classified
as harmful by inhalation.

Risk of exposure occurs only if the battery is mechanically or electrically
abused. The most likely risk is acute exposure when a cell vents. In the event
of a battery leak, do not allow battery liquid to come in contact with skin or
eyes. Seek medical help immediately in case of ingestion, inhalation, skin or
eye contact, or suspected exposure to the contents of an opened battery.

For more information about recycling, please contact Grass Valley.
