Kaleido-X (7RU) system overview
Kaleido-X (14RU) Expansion
Since version 3.00 of Miranda’s Kaleido-X software, it is possible to expand the input
connectivity of one Kaleido-X (7RU) frame to include that of a second. The two frames, each
with its own expansion (KXO-EXP) card, are connected by a high bandwidth cable, such
that all the output (KXO) modules on each frame (up to 6 in total) have access to all inputs
(KXI) on each frame (up to 192 in total) without any blocking or bandwidth limitations.
Using XEdit, the two frames can be configured as a single system, allowing rooms to share
input modules from either frame. The expansion card allows seamless sharing of video,
audio monitoring output, time code inputs, reference input, metadata information (CC,
XDS, alarms, etc.), and audio level meter data. Refer to the “Kaleido-X (7RU) Expansion”
chapter in the Kaleido-X (7RU) Hardware Description & Installation Manual for more
information.
