Quick Start Guide
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.

Introduction
Grass Valley's Kaleido family of multiviewers ranges from quad-splits to large-scale, multi-
room monitoring systems, with outstanding image quality and signal flexibility. The
Kaleido multiviewers are available in different models: the Kaleido-MX, the Kaleido-MX 4K,
the Kaleido-IP, the Kaleido-X (7RU), the Kaleido-X (4RU), the Kaleido-X16, and the
Kaleido-XQUAD frames, as well as the KMX-4911 cards, the Kaleido-Modular-X cards, and
the Kaleido-Modular KMV-3901/3911 cards.
The KMX-4911 multiviewer modules are part of the GV Node IP aggregation, processing,
and edge routing platform, designed for live broadcast production. Each KMX-4911 card
can display up to nine SMPTE ST 2022-6, 3Gbps, HD, or SD inputs in up to nine video
windows across one or two high-resolution outputs. Combine up to four KMX-4911 cards,
to configure a dual- or quad-output system supporting up to 36 inputs.
At the heart of every multiviewer system is the Kaleido-X software, which includes the
following client applications:
•XAdmin is a Web client that your system administrator will use to manage the
multiviewer system.
•XEdit is a client application used to create layouts for the monitor wall, and to configure
the multiviewer, from your PC or laptop.
•TheRouter Control Software Single Bus and Matrix View applications (also part of the
iRouter Router Control Software packaged with iControl Application Servers) can be
used to control your multiviewer’s logical sources and monitor wall destinations, via
the KX Router logical router, or to control other logical routers configured within your
multiviewer system.
•Signal Path Viewer opens as a standalone panel, updated in real time, showing
assignment information between router sources and multiviewer inputs. Signal Path
