Kaleido-IP is an advanced IP video multi-viewer with dual outputs, which operates with MPEG-2 and H.264 (HD/SD). With up to 64 SD programs or 24 HD programs per frame, the multi-viewer offers the highest number of simultaneous video and audio program decodes available in the industry. Kaleido-IP offers excellent picture quality, and provides the same extreme layout flexibility and ease of use as the Kaleido Baseband multi-viewer family. It can operate as a dedicated IP multi-viewer, or it can be integrated tightly with other Kaleido multi-viewers to create a hybrid multi-viewer system, with unrestricted mixing of IP and Baseband sources across multiple monitors. For highly streamlined operation, Kaleido-IP uses the same workflow tools as other Kaleido multi-viewers, including a flexible layout editor, compact remote panel, and On-screen Mouse Control. Full integration with the iControl monitoring and control system provides a monitoring and visualization platform for delivering the highest Quality of Experience (QoE) to viewers.
