Kaleido-X16 offers exceptional audio performance, with the ability to monitor up to 384 channels of audio per frame (256 embedded audio channels plus 128 discrete audio channels), including embedded, discrete AES, or discrete analog.
The amount of cabling needed for discrete (non embedded) audio is minimized by the Audio Bridge Terminals, which accept analog (balanced or unbalanced) and digital audio (75 ohm or 110 ohm). The Audio Bridge Terminals can fit in the back of racks, and can be located up to 800 feet (250 m) away from a Kaleido-X16 frame, with connection over standard video coax. With this configuration, it is no longer necessary to route individual audio signals to the multi-image processor/router.
Audio Bridge Terminals offer two coaxial outputs which provide redundancy and allow audio inputs to be shared among multiple frames. Power for the Audio Bridge Terminals originates from external supply or from the Ethernet switch using Power over Ethernet (PoE).
