Logical Sources
This chapter explain how to configure logical sources for your multiviewer system.
Key Concepts
Detailed Directions
Creating and Configuring Logical Sources
When opening XEdit in offline mode, the initial database is populated with the default
configuration for a Kaleido-X (7RU) system, including a fully-populated frame (all cards
present) and a set of predefined logical sources. The KX Router logical router is also created
as a 96
× 80 router where the 96 inputs are the multiviewer’s logical sources, the first 48
outputs are those from the two router cards, and the last 32 outputs are monitor wall
destinations.
Likewise, when you replace the initial Kaleido-X (7RU) with the appropriate multiviewer
model that matches your actual system, you can choose to have your local database
populated with a default set of logical sources and a preconfigured KX Router logical router.
Term Description
Logical source A logical source (called a channel, in earlier versions of the
documentation) refers to a group of physical audio, video, or metadata
sources, and text attributes. A logical source can be used as a whole, and
assigned to a virtual monitor.
Level Within a logical source, attributes are organized by levels belonging to
either of the following categories: Source info, Video, Audio, Text, Alarm,
and Time code. For example, the video level category may comprise
multiple levels, each representing a specific physical part of a video
signal.
Incremental copy Once a logical source (channel) is configured, it is possible to use
incremental copy to automatically propagate appropriate physical
assignments to other adjacent logical sources. For instance, if the current
logical source’s levels are assigned from Video 1, then the incremental
copy tool will automatically assign corresponding physical elements
from Video 2 to the next logical source’s levels, and so on. Alternatively, if
only one or a few specific levels are to be similarly configured, it is
possible to use incremental copy on the corresponding level column
only.
