Kaleido-IP IP Video Multiviewer
Playout Control Room Monitoring
Kaleido-IP offers an easy transition from baseband to IP source monitoring within a playout center and is ideal for returns monitoring from local TV stations in a hub or for spoke TV distribution models. Kaledio-IP gives broadcasters and playout centers the critical visibility of downstream signals they
need to maintain quality of service.
By combining Kaleido-IP with a Kaleido baseband multiviewer, IP and baseband video signals can be freely mixed on the monitors in a playout control
room. Using the cascade feature, the system behaves as a single unified multiviewer system, with common configuration and control tools, that allow
operators to view ever signal in the workflow, whether it’s baseband or one of the growing number of IP streams.

Kaleido-IP IP Video Multiviewer
Highly Integrated Headend and Hub Monitoring
The Kaleido-IP visualizes and verifies audio/video quality issues at multiple points in an IP-based delivery infrastructure. This ensures the highest QoE
for the viewers, and minimizes the Mean Time to Repair. The Kaleido-IP multiviewer can be combined with Grass Valley’s Densité IRD-3811 integrated
receiver/decoder and EdgeVision set-top box probe to create highly integrated systems for monitoring local and remote televisions signals distributed
over IP. This system can monitor both multicast MPEG transport streams as well as low bitrate proxy streams.

Sophisticated Alarm Displays
The Kaleido-IP offers very sophisticated alarm display elements, which are activated when video/audio, metadata or SNMP alarms are detected.
Informative text and graphics alert operators at the monitor wall, with color coded on-screen alarm status indicators. These status indicators can be
configured to latch the status, in case of sudden faults that cannot be intercepted by the operators. Acknowledgement mechanisms are available, with
interaction by an on-screen mouse.

Configurable blinking

Latched status
The virtual alarm configuration tool allows grouping of alarm
statuses to create a single “virtual” alarm. It also offers alarm
severity configuration and logical operations like AND, OR, and
XOR between alarms.

Multiviewer Remote Control Panels
RCP-200
The highly graphical RCP-200 touchscreen remote panel offers more advanced control of combined multiviewer and routing systems. The panel provides
multiviewer layout pre-set selection, and quick router source assignment control via a category/index graphical interface. The RCP-200 is a multifunctional
panel, and can also be used for control of Densité Series interfaces.
Intuitive Control Across Multiviewers
Kaleido multiviewer systems can be easily controlled by one or more
dedicated remote control panels, or by an on-screen mouse control.
Simple to use, on-screen mouse operated drop-down 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 multiroom, multioperator control over Ethernet, with local connections
for a mouse and keyboard.
