Key features & benefits

Unmatched space and energy efficiency

• 20 quad-splits, or ten 8-input multi-viewers, per 3RU frame
• Fully loaded frame with 20 cards weighs only 8.6 kg (19 lbs)
• Less than 300 Watts for fully loaded 3RU frame with 10 cards and up to 20 outputs (24 Watts per dual output card)

Fastest multi-viewer

• Requires less than 1/2 frame of processing delay, eliminating audio to video lip-sync issues

Super silent

• Ideal for installation within studios, control rooms and trucks

High quality, flexible monitoring

• Easy layout editing with XEdit
• Rapid remote control with Kaleido-RCP2 and RCP-200

Router integration

• Tight integration with NVISION and third party routers allows expansion up to 1152 inputs and 288 multi-viewer outputs
• Multiple multi-viewer outputs can be controlled from a single remote panel

Mix and match card functions

• Kaleido-Modular multi-viewer cards can be installed in a 3RU frame with other Densité Series cards, such as signal processors and DAs, for maximum space and cost-effectiveness

Ultra-resilient

• Hot-swappable cards with IP address recovery
• 3RU frame features dual hot-swappable power supplies and fans plus redundant Ethernet

3Gbps / HD / SD performance with Stereoscopic 3D support

• Triple rate, future-proof performance
• Stereoscopic 3D support, including Dual Link 1.5Gbps, SMPTE-292M, and Single Link 3Gbps, SMPTE-425M-B

Cascading modules for higher picture counts per monitor

• Cascading two cards offers 16 x 2; cascading three cards provides 24 x 2
• Simple and clean module connection
• Integrated multi-viewer layouts (future)

Flexible single or dual output layouts

The Kaleido-Modular system is highly flexible, and each multi-viewer card can be configured to provide either a single display with up to eight pictures, or dual quad-split displays. The system provides all the essential display elements required for high quality production monitoring.

Kaleido-Modular: energy and space efficiency

The Kaleido-Modular system offers unmatched space and energy efficiency, with a choice of two frames: 3RU and half 1RU

A single card for the Kaleido-Modular system (KMV-3901-8X2) features 8 inputs and dual multi-viewer outputs. Each card consumes only 24 Watts, offering unprecedented energy efficiency.

The Densité 3 frame provides unmatched space efficiency, with up to 10 cards per 3RU frame, providing up to 20 quad-splits. A fully loaded frame with 10 cards consumes less than 300 Watts, and weighs just 8.6 kg (19 lbs).

The highly compact, half 1RU Densité 3 mini frame can hold a single Kaleido-Modular multi-viewer card, providing up to two quad-split outputs.

Ideal for highly integrated truck monitoring

With its unmatched space and energy efficiency, Kaleido-Modular is ideal for production monitoring in trucks. It also offers the picture quality and display flexibility demanded by the most critical operators. Its lightning fast processing removes the need for complex audio delay compensation, while satisfying the most discerning of directors. The multi-viewer system integrates tightly with the highly space-efficient NVISION 8288 Truck router (288 x 576 in 10RU), as well as Densité signal processing cards, and third party production switchers. Control of a highly integrated system is simplified with the RCP-200 panel, which can operate the router and multi-viewer, as well as signal processing and distribution cards.

Highly scalable for large systems

The Kaleido-Modular system offers seamless integration with the NVISION router family, and third party routers, to allow expansion up to 1152 video inputs and 288 multi-viewer outputs. By using the 'Kaleido Cluster Feature', multiple multi-viewers can behave like a single virtual system from an operator's perspective, with full layout flexibility. In the example below, two NVISION 8576 routers are integrated with 144 Kaleido-Modular multi-viewer cards, housed in 15 Densité 3 frames (45RU total), to provide up to 288 multi-viewer outputs. This system spans three independent control rooms, controlled by three operators.
