Network Considerations
Kaleido-X, Kaleido-X16, Kaleido-Modular
Kaleido-X, Kaleido-X16, and Kaleido-Modular multiviewers generate a low to moderate
amount of client-to-server data traffic, and therefore have a minimal bandwidth impact on
a network.
Kaleido-IP
In the case of a Kaleido-IP multiviewer, it is possible to add and configure up to 3000
programs without exceeding the network’s bandwidth or the unit’s decoding resources.
Refer to the Kaleido-IP video inputs section (under “Supported Input/Output Formats”), in
the Kaleido-X Release Notes, for details on the number of streams and total streaming
bandwidth supported.
The Kaleido-IP multiviewer joins a multicast group only when decoding is required, that is
when a source is being monitored on the wall. In addition, streams that are not decoded are
joined momentarily in a polling manner—one stream at a time—to update the PMT and
PAT information. The Kaleido-IP leaves the multicast group as soon as a change of layout
implies that a different set of streams must be decoded.
However, if your situation involves frequent changes of layout (e.g., loading a new layout to
the monitor wall every minute), then, when you are creating or editing a layout, make sure
to terminate XEdit’s connection to the Kaleido-IP once configuration tasks are completed
(see
Disconnecting from a Multiviewer, on page 69).
