Kaleido-IP
Video Inputs
The Kaleido-IP multiviewer supports concurrent decoding of video programs from multi-
program and single-program MPEG transport streams, over UDP or RTP Multicast/Unicast.
The following table shows the number of HD or SD programs that can be decoded
concurrently, depending on the transport stream type and Kaleido-IP frame type.

Notes
• The Kaleido-IP supports layouts using up to 600 Mbps of streaming
bandwidth. However, when using a layout touring application, the total
bandwidth usage per layout should be limited to 400
Mbps across all
network interfaces, and the touring period should be at least 30
seconds.
In the case of the Kaleido-IP-6, layout touring should be avoided (a source
cycling application should be preferred when required). Implementing a
source cycling or layout touring configuration requires iControl.
• The Kaleido-IP supports streaming over wide area networks (WAN), which
are subject to packet delay variation (jitter), latency, packet reordering and
packet loss. It also supports encoders that transmit in bursts or with long
delays between packets. The Kaleido-IP can handle transmission delays
matching the encoder’s video buffer delay, and, in the case of RTP streams,
up to ±120
ms of packet delay variation.
• The Kaleido-IP functions as a fully compliant MPEG-2 decoder as per
ISO/IEC
13181-2. It is capable of detecting impairments caused by non-
compliant encoding, or corruption resulting from transmission failures,
and recovers from such situations.
