Kaleido-Modular is an exceptionally flexible, high quality multi-viewer platform, which is ideal for production applications. It allows monitoring systems to be created using versatile 'building blocks', which combine multi-viewer input/output cards to simplify system design. These 'building blocks' are available in the following sizes: 4x1, 4x2, 8x1, 8x2, 12x1, 12x2, 16x1, 16x2, 20x1, 20x2, 24x1 and 24x2. Kaleido-Modular is the most space and energy efficient multi-viewer system, with up to 20 multi-viewer outputs per 3RU frame, consuming less than 300 watts in total. It also offers super silent operation, and less than half of a frame of processing delay. The system can be expanded up to 288 multi-viewer outputs when connected to an upstream router.
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
Outstanding multi-viewer picture quality, based on award-winning Kaleido-X technology, with all essential display elements for production
Choice of single multi-viewer output per card with up to 8 pictures, or dual quad-split displays
DXF-200 optical DVI extension uses multi-mode fiber with SC connector to simplify long runs of up to 3280 ft (1 km) (See DXF-200)
Easy layout editing with XEdit
Rapid remote control with Kaleido-RCP2 and RCP-200
Dual HDMI and HD/SD outputs for easy connection to monitors, or for feeding a router with multi-viewer mosaics
