Installation & Service Manual
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection
Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely
affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame
always follow ESD-prevention procedures:
• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord
or any other means if available.
• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the
grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted
ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted
metal part of the chassis.
• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should
be between 1 and 10 megohms.
• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.
• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD
protection.
Protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (DES)
Une décharge électrostatique peut se produire lorsque des composants
électroniques ne sont pas manipulés de manière adéquate, ce qui peut entraîner
des défaillances intermittentes ou endommager irrémédiablement un circuit
électrique. Au moment de remplacer une carte dans un châssis, prenez toujours les
mesures de protection antistatique appropriées :
• Assurez-vous que le châssis est relié électriquement à la terre par le cordon
d'alimentation ou tout autre moyen disponible.
• Portez un bracelet antistatique et assurez-vous qu'il est bien en contact avec la peau.
Connectez la pince de masse à une surface non peinte du châssis pour détourner à la
terre toute tension électrostatique indésirable. En l’absence de bracelet antistatique,
déchargez l’électricité statique de votre corps en touchant une surface métallique non
peinte du châssis.
• Pour plus de sécurité, vérifiez périodiquement la valeur de résistance du bracelet
antistatique. Elle doit se situer entre 1 et 10 mégohms.
• Si vous devez mettre une carte de côté, assurez-vous de la ranger dans un sac
protecteur antistatique.
• Les cartes qui sont reliées à un châssis ou boîtier métallique mis à la terre ne
nécessitent pas de protection antistatique spéciale.

About the Multiviewer
The Kaleido-Modular-X is a flexible and scalable 4K- and IP-ready multiviewer for TV
production optimized for the space, power and weight considerations found in studios and
outside broadcast trucks. FlexBridge coax cable bridging between the input and output
modules allows for the installation of the input stage next to the router or sources, and the
output stage next to displays, for simpler, cost-effective cabling with none of the risk
associated with HDMI extenders. The Kaleido-Modular-X supports up to 64 video inputs,
and up to four multiviewer outputs.
A Kaleido-Modular-X multiviewer system in its default configuration includes a number of
layout presets. Each preset shows the video signals from a specific input module (card).
Refer to the Kaleido Software User’s Manual (see Related Documentation, on page 11) for
instructions on how to create rooms and layouts according to your specific requirements.
This section provides information about system requirements and the items shipped with
your Kaleido-Modular-X cards.

Features
Kaleido-Modular-X features
Space-efficient
modular design
Modular design offers wide range of input/output configurations, with
optional separation of input and output stages for streamlined, cost-saving
cabling and optimization of space usage.
Standard Densité frame housings enable mix-and-match capability of
multiviewers with signal processing modules, URS frame reference, and
GPI I/O via GPI-1501 cards.
Unique
FlexBridge
technology
Flexible coax cable bridging between input modules, and to the output
modules.
Expand your multiviewer beyond the number of slots within a single frame
by bridging additional input or output modules housed in a different frame.
Install the input stage next to the router and the output stage next to the
displays to eliminate the HDMI extenders.
More robust than cascading, with bypass relay protection to remain on air
even when removing a module.
Unmatched
image quality
Unmatched multiviewer picture quality, and superior on-screen graphics.
Simultaneous HDMI and SDI outputs at full 1080p 50/60Hz resolution on up
to four multiviewer displays.
Input signal processing up to 3 Gb/s signal formats.
Natively capable of handling 4K UHD quad-link sources seamlessly
recombining them into a pixel perfect image.
Robust and
serviceable
design
Hot swappable cards with unique auto-recovery feature, which provides fast
automated recovery after a cold spare is inserted.
4 RU, 3RU and 1 RU Densité frame housings, with redundant power supplies,
and quiet cooling.
Multi-room,
multi-user
oriented
A single Kaleido-Modular-X multiviewer can be used to share sources across
multiple rooms or operator positions, with fully independent displays, audio
monitoring and control panels dedicated to each operator.
Seamless
control across
multiple
multiviewers
Kaleido multiviewers can be mixed and matched to create a seamless
monitoring system across a facility.
Choice of control options such as the standalone Kaleido-RCP2 or RCP-200
panels, integrated with router control systems and panels, iControl, and
third-party control systems.
Superior layout
flexibility
Unlimited signal repetition at any sizes across all displays, without blocking,
grouping restrictions or bandwidth restrictions.
Router and
switcher
integration
Fast and easy NVISION router to multiviewer installation with M3 integration
cable, which also offers space and weight reductions.
The Kaleido-Modular-X integrates with the NVISION router family, and third-
party routers and production switchers for tally and label/alias source
management. Multiple multiviewers can be controlled from a single control
panel.
Scalable for the
largest systems
Virtually limitless multiviewer system expansion with upstream NVISION
router. A combined multiviewer/router system may include up to 1152 video
inputs, and 288 multiviewer outputs.

Kaleido Software Minimum Version Compatibility
A Kaleido-Modular-X multiviewer cannot be downgraded to a Kaleido Software version
earlier than 7.00. When downgrading this multiviewer, certain other requirements and
limitations may be in effect; see Upgrading the Multiviewer System, on page 126 for more
information.
To upgrade a multiviewer, see Upgrading the Multiviewer System, on page 126.
Whenever possible, upgrade the multiviewer to use the latest Kaleido Software version to
take advantage of the latest bug fixes and stability enhancements. See the Kaleido
Software Release Notes for more information about a Kaleido Software release.
Overview of the Kaleido-Modular-X System
Kaleido-Modular-X modules are interconnected using standard coax cables. FlexBridge
connections are used to connect an input card to an output card, or to another input card
as shown in the 32×4 configuration below. Up to four input and two output modules can
be combined for multiviewer sizes of up to 64×4.
• KMX-3901-IN SDI input modules are available with two or four FlexBridge connectors
for bridging to one or two KMX-3901-OUT output modules.

Installation
This chapter provides information about system requirements, items shipped with your
Kaleido-Modular-X multiviewer and it will guide you through the installation of a Kaleido-
Modular-X multiviewer.
Getting Organized / Unpacking
This section provides information about system requirements, and items shipped with your
Kaleido-Modular-X.
Required Tools
Use a field-supplied Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove and install rear panels.
Required Materials
The following tables shows the number of slots required for every available input and
output card. In a Densité 3+ FR4 frame, there is a special slot for the CPU-ETH3 controller
card. In a Densité 3, or Densité 3+ FR1 frame, there is a special slot for the CPU-ETH2
controller card. The Densité 3+ FR1 frame has another special slot for the GPI-1501. In a
Densité 3 frame, allow one slot for the GPI-1501 (if available).
