• This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (over-current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker for 120 phase conductors.

• Any instructions in this manual that require opening the equipment cover or enclosure are for use by qualified service personnel only.

• Do not operate the equipment in wet or damp conditions.

• This equipment is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cords. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cords into a properly wired receptacle before connecting the equipment inputs or outputs.

• Route power cords and other cables so they are not likely to be damaged. Properly support heavy cable bundles to avoid connector damage.

• Disconnect power before cleaning the equipment. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners; use only a damp cloth.

• Dangerous voltages may exist at several points in this equipment. To avoid injury, do not touch exposed connections and components while power is on.

• High leakage current may be present. Earth connection of product is essential before connecting power.

• Prior to servicing, remove jewelry such as rings, watches, and other metallic objects.

• To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse type and rating specified in the service instructions for this product, or on the equipment.

• To avoid explosion, do not operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere.

• Use proper lift points. Do not use door latches to lift or move equipment.

Cautions

A caution indicates a possible hazard to equipment that could result in equipment damage. Observe the following cautions when operating or working on this equipment:

• This equipment is meant to be installed in a restricted access location.

Kaleido-RCP2

Guide to Installation and Operation

• When installing this equipment, do not attach the power cord to building surfaces.

• Products that have no on/off switch, and use an external power supply must be installed in proximity to a main power outlet that is easily accessible.

• Use the correct voltage setting. If this product lacks auto-ranging power supplies, before applying power ensure that each power supply is set to match the power source.

• Provide proper ventilation. To prevent product overheating, provide equipment ventilation in accordance with the installation instructions.

• Do not operate with suspected equipment failure. If you suspect product damage or equipment failure, have the equipment inspected by qualified service personnel.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing should be done in a static-free environment.

• This unit may have more than one power supply cord. Disconnect all power supply cords before servicing to avoid electric shock.

• Follow static precautions at all times when handling this equipment.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection

Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame

always follow ESD-prevention procedures:

• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord or any other means if available.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted metal part of the chassis.

• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between

• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.

• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD protection.

Cautions for LCD and TFT Displays

Excessive usage may harm your vision. Rest for 10 minutes for every 30 minutes of usage.

If the LCD or TFT glass is broken, handle glass fragments with care when disposing of them. If any fluid leaks out of a damaged glass cell, be careful not to get the liquid crystal fluid in your mouth or skin. If the liquid crystal touches your skin or clothes, wash it off immediately using soap and water. Never swallow the fluid. The toxicity is extremely low but caution should be exercised at all times.

Description

The Kaleido-RCP2 is a compact, freestanding controller. All operating controls are located on the top of the unit. It requires only a single Ethernet cable for both connectivity and power. It also provides two USB ports allowing a USB mouse and one standard keyboard or numeric keypad to be connected.

Kaleido-RCP2

When logged on to a Kaleido multiviewer via the Kaleido-RCP2’s Ethernet connection, you can control various operating features of the multiviewer.

Connections

The Kaleido-RCP2 is equipped with three connectors, located on the inside rear supports of the case.

Ethernet / Power Port

The power for the Kaleido-RCP2 arrives on an RJ-45 connector, and shares this connector with an Ethernet interface. The Kaleido-RCP2 conforms to the IEEE 802.3af standard for powered devices.

Note: Multi-function keyboards or numeric keypads that have a built-in

USB hub do not work when connected to the Kaleido-RCP2. No other device than a mouse, a numeric keypad without USB hub, a keyboard without USB hub or special function keys can be connected to the Kaleido-RCP2.

• The layout associated with each button can be configured beforehand in XEdit.

You can insert a labeled strip into the built-in slot located above the keys to identify the saved layouts.

Configuration

Before you can use your Kaleido-RCP2 to operate your Kaleido system, you must set up the Ethernet connection between the two devices.

Ethernet Configuration

By default, the Kaleido-RCP2 is shipped with DHCP enabled, so it will automatically be assigned an IP address by a DHCP server.

Kaleido-RCP2

Guide to Installation and Operation

Note: The Kaleido-RCP2 is powered through the RJ-45 Ethernet connector.

There is no power ON/OFF button, so the device is ON when a powered Ethernet cable is connected.

• If no DHCP server can be found, the Kaleido-RCP2 will default to its static IP address.

• The time-out period before the Kaleido-RCP2 defaults to its static address is about 1 minute. To speed up the initialization, disable the DHCP option (see

Disabling DHCP, on page 7).

• The default static IP address is 10.0.3.191, but this can be changed (see Setting an IP

Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway, on page 8).

• If you need to operate with a fixed IP address, you must use the Configuration menu to disable DHCP and set up the correct IP address, Network Mask and Gateway.

• To access Kaleido rooms located in other subnets, the Kaleido-RCP2 must be configured with the appropriate unicast IP addresses (see page 9).

The firmware update package, including the Kaleido-RCP2 Updater utility, is available on the Kaleido-X Upgrade DVD, and from the Software and documentation section of Grass Valley’s support portal.

To determine if you need to update your Kaleido-RCP2, check its firmware version (refer to the diagram under version of the firmware update file indicated under Software and Firmware, in the Kaleido-X Release Notes.

The Kaleido-RCP2 firmware can be updated over the Ethernet connection, and this may take as long as 15 by-step instructions:

Navigating the Configuration Menu, on page 5), and compare it with the

minutes to complete. The Kaleido-RCP2 Updater window includes step-
