Kaleido-K: Advanced, modular multi-image display processor The ultra robust and high resolution Kaleido-K multi-image display processor redefines signal monitoring by incorporating all conceivable monitor wall features in one or more computer, projection or plasma displays. Up to inputs Dual Head output option The Kaleido-K can be configured to share its inputs over two displays using the new Dual Head Output option. Each source can be displayed using either screen (tiled horizontally), to add a greater level of flexibility when two displays are used side by side. In case of a failure of one display, the Kaleido-K system allows a new layout to be instantly recalled with all the sources displayed using the remaining functional display. Display A Display B Selectable Live Overlay of Captioning Text Audio Phase Correlation Meters Multi Channel Audio Level Indicators Insertion of individual bitmaps from file or complete background allows monitor wall to be customized to station or channel Composite, SDI, HD-SDI,, Composite or Streaming Video Inputs Count up / down timer Dual Tally Indicators Vchip Rating Status Captioning Status Multiple Clock Displays With Programmable Offsets
Kaleido-K: Feature-rich display 5 Multi-format video monitoring Dynamically updated text labels Clocks and timers VGA : 6:9 Kaleido-K s versatile input modules can accept: f Computer signals from 60 x 80 to 600 x 00 (VGA to UXGA) f SDI video in 65/55 f NTSC, PAL and SECAM f CAV and YC f HD-SDI and Analog HD f 6:9 and : aspect ratio signals Kaleido-K can also display streaming video and audio delivered by an IP network using Miranda s Allegro streaming encoder/server and Densité Control Probes. Streaming video can be displayed at various bit rates and quality levels, either as a separate window or displayed over another video input using a picture-in-picture display. Streaming video displayed as a separate video window Configurable audio meters Multiple text labels (UMDs) can be displayed inside or outside the video window, with the text dynamically updated by the UMD controller. Audio level meters extracted from analog, AES or embedded signals can be positioned inside the video image in transparency or outside the window. Ballistics and scales are configurable, and a phase correlation meter can be displayed between each pair. Internal signal validity monitoring Close Captioning (CC), CC validity, and Vchip Rating can be decoded inside the Kaleido-K s video input modules Multiple analog and digital clocks can be displayed with programmable offsets and configurable colors. Multiple addressable count up/down timers can be controlled by a mouse or external TCP-IP commands. Time code extracted from the video signal can be overlaid inside or outside the video window. Remote off-air streaming video as a picture-in-picture display Each video or audio input can report signal status or validity, with detection of: f loss of video f video black f video frozen f video level too high f Closed Captioning text f Vchip Rating f teletext and subtitling presence f audio level meters f audio phase meters f loss of audio f audio in silence f audio level too high f audio out of phase f audio in mono The Kaleido-K can also take advantage of error status acquired through Miranda interfaces or probes. Any status can be reported via on screen status indicators. Status can be latched or held for a time period. Schedules can also apply for error inhibition.
