Creating Layouts
This section describes Kaleido-X layout elements and their purposes, and provides detailed
configuration instructions.
Key Concepts
Layouts and Layout Elements
Layout elements
Term Description
Layout A layout is a visual grouping of monitors that appear on displays within a
room. A layout includes different types of monitors in a variety of placements
and sizes. There are two types of layouts: room layouts and full screen
layouts.
Monitor A monitor (also called widget) is an element that is part of a layout. The
Kaleido-X software supports several types of primitive layout elements (e.g.,
clocks, video monitors, audio monitors, UMDs, time code monitors, etc.), as
well as composite monitors. All primitive layout elements, except for the
video monitors and subtitling monitors are graphical layout elements.
Video monitor A video monitor is a layout element used to define an
area for displaying a video signal. It is represented in
XEdit by the boundary box made visible by clicking
the element.
Video window A video window is represented in XEdit by the blue rectangle inside a video
monitor. The video window does not necessarily cover the complete video
monitor’s area.
Composite
monitor
A composite monitor is a group of primary elements that can be seen as a
single object within a layout. Composite monitors typically include a video
window, one or more audio level meters, and a UMD with two tallies.
Time code
monitor
A time code monitor displays the Ancillary Time Code (ATC) from an HD video
signal, or the time code found in an embedded SDI video signal, part of the
vertical interval of an analog signal (VITC), or other external Linear Time Code
(LTC). This monitor also supports time code information from external
providers (see
Configuring Logical Sources Based on External Alarm
Providers, on page 167). Time code monitors can be used for monitoring the
duration of programs. See Configuring Time Code Monitors on page 232.
