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. 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.

All the essential display elements for production Picture quality The Kaleido-Modular multi-viewer system offers the same outstanding multi-viewer picture quality as the award-winning Kaleido-X processors. Using Miranda s scaling technology, images can be resized all the way from very small windows up to full screen display, without the loss of definition traditionally associated with multiviewers. Audio meters Kaleido-Modular can display four group, multi-channel audio for multi-lingual and 5.1 applications. Audio level meters are extracted from embedded signals, and can be positioned inside the video window in transparency or outside. Ballistics and scales are configurable, and a phase correlation meter can be displayed with each pair. Automatic aspect ratio control and safe areas Aspect ratio and safe area markers can be positioned over video windows to simplify multi-format monitoring. Free form safe area markers, based on a user s bitmap, can be overlaid on top of each video window. This feature is useful to protect graphical content or branding that will be applied downstream after production. The multi-viewer can automatically change a signal s aspect ratio between 16:9 and 4:3, based on the Active Format Description (AFD), Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) or source resolution. Image formatting rules are followed during conversion, including letter/pillar boxing and resizing/cropping. Dynamically updated UMDs Text labels (UMDs) can be displayed inside or outside windows, and updated by a UMD controller. Dynamic text can be driven by NVISION and many third-party routers, and by some automation vendors. Kaleido-Modular also offers a serial interface for leading production switchers, which provides tally updates as well as sources and destination labels. Text fonts are flexible and support UNICODE for multi-lingual texts. Clocks and timers Multiple clocks/timers (with date) can be displayed with programmable offsets and configurable colors. The clocks/timers can be driven by a LTC signal from the REF-1801 Reference Card or an NTP server. 6 5.1
Superior display flexibility The Kaleido-Modular system offers superior display flexibility, allowing an operator to focus on the ideal monitoring configuration, without worrying about any multi-viewer system limitations. Any source HD-SDI 1080i 50/60 3 Gbps with 3D support SDI 525 / 625 DVI MPEG Auto-sensing inputs allow multiple source formats to be combined. DVI and MPEG are via external options. Any resolution 1920 x 1200 1920 x 1200 768 x 1366 1080 x 1920 1920 x 1200 1920 x 1200 Simultaneously display across monitors of different resolutions up to 1920 x 1200, and display across flat panels and projection cubes. Any size Signals can be displayed at any size up to full screen at full HD resolution. Any repetition Eight sources can be displayed across two multi-image outputs. Any position Signals can be positioned anywhere across displays. Any format 4:3 + 16:9 Landscape Portrait Signals of different aspect ratios can be displayed alongside each other, and the displays can be either landscape or portrait. Note: The display rotation must be the same on both outputs of a single card. 7
Fast, multi-room layout editor The XEdit multi-room layout editor software simplifies the sharing and presentation of sources across multiple control rooms, controlled by multiple operators, and using multiple multi-viewer cards. It allows nontechnical operators to easily create complex multi-room layouts combining all essential display elements, including analog and digital clocks, audio level meters with various scales, and flexible UMDs and tallies. The editor encourages rapid drag and drop layout creation, with automatic resize and alignment tools for easy optimization of the monitor wall space. Using XEdit to create complex, multi-room display layouts 1 System configuration Use XEdit to create a system level view showing the number of multi-viewers and XEdit panels. The software provides comprehensive third party device integration for dynamic text labels and tallies. 2 Create sources Next, sources are created using efficient logical source configuration, which offers easy re-use and quick assignment within various layouts. 3 Configure rooms The rooms are then configured using a physical layout of the displays. An intelligent display library incorporates display dimensions and resolutions to simplify the configuration process. 4 Create layouts Finally, layouts are created using a simple drag-and-drop application, which features a rich library of monitors and widgets, including automatic resizing and alignment tools. XEdit allows layouts to be built simultaneously for all displays within a room, making layout creation much more efficient and intuitive. 8
Easy operator control The Kaleido-Modular system offers the ease of use you ve come to expect from the Kaleido family, with rapid control by On-screen Mouse or a compact remote panel. Simple to use, On-screen Mouse operated dropdown menus are contextual to speed operations, and offer numerous functions, such as changing aspect ratios, checking the safe area, assigning an input, and changing text in a UMD. Users can also instantly change layout configurations, and dynamically zoom one source larger for quality control, or audio monitoring of an on-screen source. The Kaleido-RCP2 remote panel exemplifies this simplicity and provides easy multi-room, multi-operator control over Ethernet, with local connections for a mouse and keyboard. 10 layout presets Aspect ratio selection Audio monitoring output selection Full screen selection Safe area markers The Kaleido-RCP2 remote control panel features direct key control for the most common commands On-screen Mouse control contributes significantly to the system s ease of use. 9
Highly scalable for large monitoring 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 Room 1: Audio 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.

Controlling combined routing and multi-viewer systems Integrated multi-viewer and routing systems can be controlled using a choice of remote control panels. One simple option is to use a traditional router control panel to assign any source, anywhere, any number of times on the monitor wall. This mimics what the router would do to a traditional monitor wall, by allowing the user to assign any source to any destination. This type of control is available with the NVISION control panels (shown below), as well as third party router control panels from Pro-bel and Network. Source to virtual monitor wall assignment can be made via any NVISION control panel via the NVISION 915 or 9000 controller. Router Panel x Router Controller Router....... The highly graphical RCP-200 remote panel offers more advanced control of combined multi-viewer and routing systems (future option). The panel provides multi-viewer layout pre-set selection, and quick router source assignment control via a category/index graphical interface. The RCP-200 is a multi-functional touchscreen, 3RU panel, and can also be used for control of many other Densité Series cards. 11
