Router Control Configurations
Multiviewers can be configured for router control in five ways:
1 Kaleido-X (7RU) and Kaleido-X16 multiviewers allow direct control over their own
internal router module.
2 All multiviewers allow direct control over an external router via a serial or TCP/IP
connection.
3 All multiviewers allow control over a series of external routers in a cascade
configuration: the Kaleido-X software sends a router command to one of the routers via
a serial or TCP/IP connection, which then broadcasts it to the other routers in the
The router outputs can be controlled from the monitor wall menu, by a
Nevion (Network Electronics) remote control panel via a serial connection, by
a Miranda (NVISION) system controller via a TCP/IP connection, or by a
production switcher’s auxiliary bus controls. The router outputs can be
controlled by external controllers via the following protocols: VikinX
Compact (serial), VikinX Modular (TCP/IP), NVISION (TCP/IP), Snell (Pro-Bel)
(serial, TCP/IP) or manually from the Miranda Router Control Matrix
application available from the Kaleido-X Web page.
The built-in router improves integration, and reduces cabling and equipment
costs. The routing capability eliminates the need for a separate router for the
following applications:
• feeding baseband high quality monitors anywhere in a facility
• feeding test equipment for quality control monitoring
• feeding a secondary multiviewer for output expansion
• feeding an ISO recorder in production studios

the actual sources and destination may be.

Kaleido-X16. The Kaleido-IP, Kaleido-X (4RU) and KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer models do not have
router outputs.
