Adding Monitors to a Layout
To add monitors to a layout
1 Drag components from the widget libraries onto the layout, or create custom
components, using the toolbar buttons.
2 Resize, move and configure the monitors until the desired layout is achieved.
For detailed configuration instructions on the different monitor types, refer to:
• Configuring Video Monitors, on page 213
• Configuring Audio Monitors, on page 227
• Configuring Time Code Monitors, on page 232
• Configuring Timers, on page 234
• Configuring UMDs, on page 240
• Configuring Alarm Monitors, on page 244
Notes
• When adding monitors to a layout, avoid overlapping graphical layout
elements with one another. For example, making sure that there be no
overlap between UMDs and audio monitors in a layout will ensure optimal
performance.
• Before creating or modifying a layout for a Kaleido-IP system, review the
guidelines listed in the
Network Considerations section on page 391.
•In the case of a KMV-3901/3911 or Kaleido-XQUAD multiviewer, layouts
are subject to the following limitations:
• up to eight video monitors over two displays (overlapping is not
supported),
• up to four stereo audio level meters per video monitor,
• one time code per video monitor,
• only digital clocks are supported,
• XDS metadata monitors are not supported.
• In the case of the Kaleido-X, Kaleido-X16, and Kaleido-IP multiviewers,
every output head supports up to 64
video monitors, across both the
current layout and a full screen layout when used.
• In the case of a Kaleido-X or Kaleido-X16, the minimum width supported
for a video window is 1/16th of the original signal’s horizontal resolution.
•In the case of a Kaleido-X, the minimum height supported for a video
window is 91
pixels.
• In the case of a Kaleido-MX or Kaleido-Modular-X multiviewer, every
output head supports up to 32
video monitors. However, if every monitor
is associated with audio meters and a time code monitor, then the
maximum is 24 video windows per output head. The image can be scaled
down to 1/8 of the original signal’s resolution. The minimum width
supported for a video window is 128
pixels.
Note: All open widget libraries appear in the Tools pane.
