Routers & Kaleido-X
Router Control Configurations
Translating Commands from External Router Controllers
1 A system controller—e.g. Miranda (NVISION) NV9000, Snell (Pro-Bel) Aurora, Nevion
(Network Electronics) VikinX—sends a router command to an external router
connected to the multiviewer.
2 The Kaleido-X software detects the command, translates it to the appropriate router
protocol and, then sends it to the designated router over a serial or TCP/IP connection.
3 The router (or “Level” in a cascade) receives the command and executes a crosspoint
switch, either changing the signal on one of its connections to a multiviewer input,
or…
4 …sending the signal to another device (e.g. vector scope, QC monitor, ISO recorder).
Controlling the Internal Router by Using a Router Control Device or Application
1 An external router control device or application—e.g. Snell (Pro-Bel) Aurora, Nevion
(Network Electronics) VikinX—or an automation system—e.g. Sundance Digital Titan—
sends a command, over a serial or TCP/IP connection, to the multiviewer.
