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. |
