Kaleido-X
User’s Manual
To avoid pixel cropping on spanned monitors, you must position room displays so that
there is no gap between them. Use XEdit’s Remove horizontal space and/or Remove
vertical space buttons to make sure your displays are perfectly positioned for spanning.
You must also ensure that each display has the same pixel-per-inch (or -per-mm) ratio,
calculated as horizontal resolution (pixels) divided by display width (inches or mm) and
vertical resolution divided by display height. Ideally, you should use displays that have the
same physical size and resolution.
The figure below shows two displays properly sized and positioned for monitor spanning.
Notes
• The Kaleido-IP does not yet support spanned monitors.
• In the case of a KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer, which supports a maximum
of eight video monitors over two displays, a spanned video monitor counts
as two (i.e. if you have one spanned video monitor, you can only add six
other video monitors to your layout; if you span two video monitors, you
can add only four other video monitors.
• Monitors can extend outside the edge of a display, but not completely.
• The use of a mouse is not completely supported with spanned video
monitors.

Vertical: 1200 pixels ÷ 600 mm = 2 pixels/mm
Horizontal: 1366 pixels ÷ 683 mm = 2 pixels/mm
Vertical: 768 pixels ÷ 384 mm = 2 pixels/mm
