The ultra robust and high resolution
Kaleido-K2 multi-image display processor
redefines signal monitoring by incorporating
all conceivable monitor wall features in one or
more computer, projection or plasma displays.
Dual Head output option
The Kaleido-K2 can be configured to share its 32 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-K2 system allows a new layout to be instantly recalled with all the sources displayed using the remaining functional display.

Kaleido-K2:
Feature-rich display
Multi-format video monitoring
Dynamically updated text labels
Kaleido-K2’s versatile input modules can accept:
f
Computer signals from 640 x 480 to 1600 x 1200 (VGA to UXGA)f
SDI video in 625/525f
NTSC, PAL and SECAMf
CAV and YCf
HD-SDI and Analog HDf
16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratiosignals
Kaleido-K2 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.
Multiple text labels (UMDs) can be displayed inside or outside the video window, with the text dynamically updated by the UMD controller.
Configurable audio meters
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.
Clocks and timers
Internal signal validity monitoring
Close Captioning (CC), CC validity, and Vchip Rating can be decoded inside the Kaleido-K2’s video input modules
Each video or audio input can report signal status or validity, with detection of:
Streaming video displayed as a separate video window Remote off-air streaming video as a picture-in-picture display
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.

The Kaleido-K2 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.
