Kaleido multi-viewers
Kaleido-X: unmatched picture quality & display elements
Picture quality
The Kaleido-X system offers unmatched picture quality, using Miranda´s Polyphase scaling
technology. Windows can be resized all the way from very small windows up to full screen
display, without the loss of definition that is commonly associated with multi-viewers. This high
performance, combined with superior on-screen graphics, makes Kaleido-X ideal for the most
critical monitoring applications.
Audio meters
Kaleido-X can display four group, multi-channel audio for multi-lingual and 5.1 applications.
Audio level meters are extracted from analog, AES or 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. Dolby E audio can be extracted from
an embedded audio signal for on-screen metering. An audio meter can readjust itself based on
inserted Program Configuration Metadata.
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-X 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 analog and digital clocks/timers (with date) can be displayed with programmable offsets
and configurable colors. The clocks/timers can be driven by LTC, referenced internally, or to an
NTP server. Each output module features three independent LTC inputs.
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 processor 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.
