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
and data networks, hooked up one or two 1920 × 1080 @ 60 Hz (HDTV) displays, and
specified transport stream information, you can start using these layouts to monitor
television signals distributed over IP. Consult the Kaleido-X User’s Manual (on the DVD that
shipped with your system) for instructions on how to define more rooms and layouts to suit
your specific requirements.

Step 1: Physical Setup

Setting up the Kaleido-IP Hardware

To set up the Kaleido-IP hardware

1 Referring to the manufacturer’s documentation shipped with your Kaleido-IP unit,

mount the unit in a standard 19-inch rack. Make sure that the unit has adequate
ventilation.

2 Connect your Kaleido-IP’s gigabit Ethernet port LAN1 to the dedicated 1000Base-T (or

100Base-T) Ethernet switch associated with your management network, and connect
LAN2 to the switch associated a data network (see

You will use the first port (gigabit LAN1) to manage your system (e.g. by using XEdit,
and XAdmin), and direct all high-bitrate data (e.g. MPEG2 streams) to the other ports
(gigabit LAN2, or, in the case of a Kaleido-IP X300 with two, or four optional network
adapters, LAN2–LAN4, or LAN2–LAN6).

Cabling Diagram, on page 5).

3 Connect a client PC, and the Kaleido-RCP2 (if available) to the switch on LAN1. You can

also connect a mouse and a keyboard to your Kaleido-RCP2.

4 Connect one of the DisplayPort output of the multiviewer to a display that supports a

resolution of 1920

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 5).

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.

• 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, available on Grass Valley’s support
portal.

5 Connect the power cords, and then turn the power on. The power switch is located on

the front panel.

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.

1.The Kaleido-X software does not support activating a soft shutdown from the Kaleido-IP frame’s power
button.

detection.

5Click OK.

The output resolution is adjusted accordingly.

Step 2: Networking Setup

The Kaleido-IP multiviewer must be configured with at least two IP addresses—one for the
management network (MGMT), and one for a data network (DATA)—, corresponding
network mask and gateway settings, and a system name. The Kaleido-IP X300 model may
require up to six IP addresses. In XAdmin and XEdit, a Kaleido-IP X100 or Kaleido-IP X300
with two network adapters is identified as Kaleido-IP-2. A Kaleido-IP X110, Kaleido-IP X310,
or Kaleido-IP X300 with four network adapters is identified as Kaleido-IP-4, and a Kaleido-IP
X310, or Kaleido-IP X300 with six network adapters is identified as Kaleido-IP-6.

A client PC must be configured to communicate with the multiviewer (within the
management network). You must also configure any Kaleido-RCP2 units you may have
ordered.7

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.

Opening XEdit in Online Mode

To open XEdit in online mode

Disposal and Recycling Information

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.

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.
