The Kaleido-X family of processors offers the highest level of expandability, along with unmatched picture quality, layout flexibility and robustness. The range comprises three processors, including a 1RU frame with 16 inputs and two multi-viewer outputs; a 4RU frame with 32 inputs and four multi-viewer outputs; and a 7RU frame with 96 inputs and eight multi-viewer outputs. Each of these frames offer the same triple rate performance (3 Gbps/HD/SD with 3D compatibility) and advanced signal monitoring capabilities.
Key features and benefits
Unmatched image quality
Unmatched multi-viewer picture quality, and superior on-screen graphics, for the most critical monitoring applications.
Highly resilient
Frames designed to avoid a single point of failure, and include hot swappable cards and PSUs. Unique Auto-Recovery feature provides fast automated recovery after a 'cold' spare card is inserted in the frame.
Advanced Metadata extraction, probing and alarming
Integral Metadata extraction, signal probing and on-screen alarms. Metadata extraction includes Closed Captioning/Teletext and AFD/WSS, as well as Dolby E (dialnorm, program configuration) and Dolby E (audio level meters).
XSupervise, an optional PC-based application, delivers multi-channel, automated signal monitoring and alarm management
Layout flexibility
Ultimate level of layout flexibility, with unlimited signal repetition and sizing across all displays, without blocking or grouping restrictions.
Multi-room oriented
A single Kaleido-X multi-viewer can be used to share sources across multiple rooms, with fully independent displays and control panels. Multi-room display layouts can be prepared easily with the XEdit software .
Seamless control across multiple multi-viewers
Kaleido-X multi-viewers can be 'mixed and matched' with other Kaleido multi-viewers to create a seamless monitoring system across a facility, and this can deliver exceptional cost, space, and power efficiency .
Triple rate performance with Stereoscopic 3D support
3Gbps/HD/SD/Composite performance with Stereoscopic 3D support, including Dual Link 1.5Gbps, SMPTE-292M, and Single Link 3Gbps, SMPTE-425M-B .
Router integration
Kaleido-X offers rich integration with the NVISION router family, and third party routers, to allow expansion up to 1152 video inputs and 96 multi-viewer outputs .
