Detailed Directions
This section describes the actions you can perform on the Kaleido-X monitor wall.
Logging on to the Monitor Wall Using a Remote Control Panel
As network devices, the RCP-200 advanced remote control panel, and the Kaleido-RCP2
control panel provides access to any room, from any Kaleido-X system on the network. As a
security measure, access is controlled by a login procedure. Multiple RCP-200 and Kaleido-
RCP2 can be used by different users to access the same room concurrently. When multiple
RCP users are active in the same room, they each control a separate pointer on the monitor
wall, and can use the monitor wall menu independently, as long as they limit their actions
to separate displays.
In a default system configuration, a multiviewer’s video outputs are assigned to specific
rooms:
• On a Kaleido-X (7RU), the two DVI/VGA outputs from each of the dual-head Output
cards A, B, C and D are assigned to ROOM1, ROOM2, ROOM3 and ROOM4 respectively.
• On a Kaleido-X (4RU), the two DVI/VGA outputs from each of the dual-head Output
cards A and B are assigned to ROOM1 and ROOM2 respectively.
• On a Kaleido-X (14RU) expansion system, the two DVI/VGA outputs from each of the
dual-head Output cards A, B and C of each of Frame A and Frame B are assigned to
ROOM1, ROOM2, ROOM3, ROOM4, ROOM5 and ROOM6 respectively.
• On a Kaleido-X16-D, the HDMI outputs from each of the Output modules are assigned
to ROOMX16.
• On a Kaleido-X16-S, the HDMI output is assigned to ROOMX16.
• On a KMV-3901/3911, Kaleido-XQUAD, or Kaleido-XQUAD-DUAL, the HDMI outputs are
assigned to ROOM1.
• On a Kaleido-IP, the multiviewer outputs are assigned to ROOM.
• On a Kaleido-MX, or Kaleido-Modular-X, the HDMI outputs are assigned to ROOM1.
Logging on to the Monitor Wall Using the Kaleido-RCP2
To log on to a Kaleido-X room from the Kaleido-RCP2
1 On a Kaleido-RCP2 with an active connection to the network, press and hold the ENTER
button until the ESC button lights up. The Configuration menu appears, with the
ROOM SELECTION option displayed.
2 Press ENTER again to obtain the list of rooms from the Kaleido-X systems that are
currently available on the network.
The rooms are listed in the form [multiviewer name]/[room name]. If a room belongs to
a cluster system, its name appears once for each of the member multiviewers (e.g. if
two multiviewers, KX1 and KX2, are configured as a cluster, and ROOM1 includes
displays fed by both multiviewers, then both KX1/ROOM1 and KX2/ROOM1 will be
listed. You may select either one.
3 In the room list, select the room you wish to access by pressing the 2 key (to move up in
the list) or the 8 key (to move down the list).
