Calibrating the Kaleido-X
A Kaleido-X system includes a number of cards or modules that process a variety of signal
types. This section explains how to calibrate features related with the different signal types.
Key Concepts
IMPORTANT
Calibration changes are applied immediately.
Unlike other elements in a multiviewer configuration, system
calibrations do not need to be saved.
• When using XEdit in online mode, calibration changes become
immediately effective.
• When using XEdit in offline mode, calibration changes are applied to
the system representation in your local workspace.
Multiviewer Output Calibrations
Brightness The green, red, and blue brightness parameters determine the black
level of the RGB output signals shown on the corresponding display.
See
Calibrating the Brightness and Contrast on page 114.
Contrast The green, red, and blue contrast parameters determine the white level
of the RGB output signals shown on the corresponding display.
See
Calibrating the Brightness and Contrast on page 114.
Color saturation The color saturation of an RGB output signal can be adjusted so that
colors in the video windows will match the surrounding graphical
elements on the corresponding display.
See Calibrating the Color
Saturation on page 116.
DVI keying mode Depending on your purposes, key material provided through the DVI
input can be set either as a background or as a foreground for the layout
shown on the monitor wall.
See Calibrating the DVI Keying Mode on
page 117.
Audio monitoring
delay
The audio monitoring delay parameter can be adjusted to optimize the
relative timing of the audio and video signals on the monitor wall
display.
See Calibrating the Audio Monitoring Delay on page 119.
Audio monitoring
color
Audio monitors can have an indicator that changes color depending on
the output display where audio monitoring of the associated audio level
is taking place. The default color is a shade of blue.

Audio Monitoring Color on page 120.
