Routers & Kaleido-X
Router Protocols
Built-in Communications Protocols
The multiviewer itself can be controlled by external devices (e.g. Kaleido-RCP2, router
control panels) or applications (e.g. router control software application, Remote Control
Gateway) via built-in communications protocols. Such devices or applications can be used
to command monitor wall operations (e.g. source assignment) or routing operations.
A router control device or application can control a Kaleido-X (7RU) or Kaleido-X16
multiviewer’s internal router module, or any multiviewer’s logical sources and monitor wall
destinations, via the KX Router logical router. It can also control other logical routers
configured within your multiviewer system. In the case of the KX Router logical router, the
device or application must support the NVISION Ethernet protocol - Compact router protocol.
The supported communications protocols are listed in the following table, with an
indication of the supported connection types (TCP/IP or serial), and the dedicated port
number on the multiviewer, in the case of a TCP/IP protocol.

a.For Thomson / Grass Valley Series 7000 devices, our current implementation of the Series 7000
Native Protocol supports serial devices, in addition to some Encore system controller models, which
are also supported over Ethernet. For other Series 7000 devices you wish to control via Ethernet, use
Sony HKSPC (GVGNP Emulator).
b.The ES-Switch protocol is only supported with KMV-3901/3911 multiviewers.
