Kaleido-X
User’s Manual
5 In the Interconnects tab, click the router controller icon. Under the Properties tab, a list
of settings appears, with default values for the serial communication parameters: the
bit rate (bps), the number of data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control. Select a logical
router (e.g. SmallLogicalRouter) from the Router list.
This is the logical router that will be controlled by the router control panel. When the
multiviewer receives commands over the serial port on the output card selected in
step 4, it will know these are destined for the logical router corresponding to
“SmallLogicalRouter”.
Adding a Snell (Pro-Bel) SW-P-02 Router Controller
To add a control panel that uses the SW-P-02 protocol
• Refer to procedure above but, at step 1, select Router controller (SW-P-02) from the
Equipment library instead of Router controller (VikinX Compact).
Adding an Intelligent Router Controller
An intelligent router controller is one that can issue switching commands to any router
connected to (controlled by) the multiviewer. In order to be able to do this, it must attach a
unique identifier to each command that will allow the Kaleido-X software to direct the
command to the appropriate device. This unique identifier is the “Logical router matrix ID”,
which is similar to the “Level or frame ID” for a physical router, but identifies a logical router.
Note: Simple router controllers can also communicate with Kaleido-X via
TCP/IP. This type of connection is enabled automatically, and allows such
controllers to issue commands to the multiviewer’s internal router module.
Note: The VikinX Compact protocol allows you to specify one logical router
only (it is a one-to-one controller protocol).
