Cluster A cluster refers to multiple multiviewers, configured so that they can be
operated as a single system from a room comprising up to 48 displays
fed by the different multiviewers’ outputs. The complete cluster system
can include up to 128 displays.
See Creating a Cluster on page 81.
Cascade A cascade refers to up to three Kaleido-X16 or up to three KMV-3901/3911
multiviewers, configured so that they can be operated as a single system
from a room. The cascade makes it possible to monitor up to 48 video
inputs—in the case of a Kaleido-X16 cascade—, or up to 24 video
inputs—in the case of a KMV-3901/3911 cascade—, on a single monitor
wall display. Depending on your purposes, you may wish to monitor
both baseband and IP sources at once, on the same monitor wall display.
This can be achieved by configuring a hybrid cascade system, involving
one Kaleido-IP multiviewer and one Kaleido-X or Kaleido-X16 multiviewer.
Refer to the Cascade Step-by-Step Configuration guide for your
multiviewer model, for more information.
Logical source A logical source (called a channel, in earlier versions of the software and
documentation) refers to a group of physical audio, video, or metadata
sources, and text attributes. A logical source can be used as a whole, and
assigned to a virtual monitor.
See Logical Sources on page 157, for
details.
Cards Cards are added to, and removed from a Kaleido-X (7RU) or
Kaleido-X
(4RU) multiviewer. There are different, specialized types of
cards: input cards, output cards, a GPI/genlock card, expansion cards and
internal router cards. Refer to the appropriate Hardware Description &
Installation Manual available on the DVD that shipped with your system,
and from Miranda’s support portal, for more information.
Virtual card slots The Kaleido-X16 introduced the concept of virtual card slots that
represent a set of hardware features directly on the multiviewer’s main
board. In XEdit, the Kaleido-X16 virtual card slots contain
representations of GPI/genlock, input, output, and internal router cards
that are equivalent to their physical counterparts on the Kaleido-X
(4RU)
and Kaleido-X
(7RU) models. Likewise, the KMV-3901/3911 multiviewers
have virtual card slots with representations of GPI/genlock, input, and
output cards.
There are, however, some differences in the Kaleido-X16 and
KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer models are presented in XEdit, compared
to the Kaleido-X models:
• Cards in virtual slots are always present by default, and cannot be
removed in XEdit.
• There are no status icons next to a virtual card slot (e.g. inserted or
empty card slot icon).
