Kaleidescape Installation Guide Physical Installation Disk cartridges are sensitive mechanical devices susceptible to damage from shock. Handle carefully. Protect from bumps and drops. Always transport and ship disk cartridges in anti-static, well-cushioned containers. Handling Disk Cartridges Kaleidescape servers house disk cartridges that contain high-capacity hard drives to store movies and music. Disk cartridges are shipped with the server.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide Physical Installation Server Fault Tolerance RAID-K Data Protection Every Kaleidescape server includes RAID-K technology for content protection.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide Physical Installation When a failed disk cartridge is replaced, the replacement cartridge becomes the new hot spare disk cartridge. Note: Because the hot spare must be able to replace any disk cartridge in the array, the capacity of the hot spare cannot be smaller than any other disk in the array. (Servers other than the 3U Server do not have a hot spare disk cartridge and cannot begin failure recovery until a replacement cartridge is installed.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide Physical Installation Power off the server and remove the disk cartridge. Contact Kaleidescape Support for return information. • The disk cartridge was previously installed in another server.

Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration 2. Input meaningful Device Names for each player or Mini System, for example Living Room or Guest Room. Then click OK. The Device Name identifies the component throughout the user interface. For example, the Device Name appears as the name of the onscreen display control panel for the component movie zone and on the PARENTAL CONTROL tab in the user pages of the browser interface. 3.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration Note: M-Class players always give preference to the 16:9 version. 9. Select the Screen Saver Timeout period. This option selects how long the onscreen display stays on before showing the screen saver. Use the drop-down menu to select the timeout duration, then click OK. If selecting a screen saver timeout of more than 5 minutes (default), a warning message appears about display burn-in. See Figure 4-5.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration Figure 4-6 Component Temperature Help Window Restart The RESTART button is used to restart components remotely. It takes about two minutes to restart a server or Mini System. Any imports in progress are aborted. Restarting the server prompts the server to check for software updates, and Movie Guide and Music Guide updates. A restart also clears alerts; however, if the condition still exists, the alerts reappear.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration Each component must be configured individually. Players have several video outputs which are all active simultaneously. Use the VIDEO tab to optimize video for each player in the system. If a player is connected to more than one display device (either using several video outputs from the player or a matrix switcher) video cannot be optimized for each display device.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration 1. Select the Primary Video Output format from the drop-down menu. The primary output is typically the output that connects to the primary display device (the display most watched). Default setting is HDMI. 2. The player synchronizes audio and video for the primary video output, although all video outputs remain active. The video outputs cannot be controlled independently. • When HDMI is the primary video output, component video output is 480i/576i.

Play a CD, which always produces the stereo audio optical, coaxial, or HDMI output. If there is no output, check for a problem with connection cabling, audio receiver or processor, or television. 2. If the CD plays, but movie audio does not, verify that the PLAYER DECODE setting is selected in the audio settings. With this setting all audio outputs are active.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration Video Settings for the Mini System and 1080p Player Figure 4-11 shows video configuration settings for the Mini System and 1080p Player. Figure 4-11 Video Settings for the Mini System or 1080p Player (top) 1. Select the Primary Video Output format from the drop-down menu. The primary video output is typically the output that connects the player to the primary display device (the display most watched). Default setting is HDMI. Kaleidescape Part No.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration The player synchronizes audio and video for the primary video output, although all video outputs remain active. The video outputs cannot be controlled independently. 2. Select Video Mode from the drop-down menus. Video mode choices for other video outputs are automatically set depending on the primary video output selected and its video modes.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration Figure 4-12 Note: Letterbox Effect The movie player can only zoom letterboxed 4:3 movies recognized by the Kaleidescape Movie Guide. 5. Select Black Level for component video. Click the radio button next to 0 IRE BLACK LEVEL SETUP (recommended) or 7.5 IRE BLACK LEVEL SETUP. See Figure 4-13. Note: This setting only affects video displays that use component video as the primary video output.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration 0 IRE black level refers to the EIA-770.2 video standard, which uses 0 IRE for black and is referred to as darker or enhanced black level. The 0 IRE selection works well with most displays and processors. If this setting produces loss of detail in dark areas of the image, try 7.5 IRE instead. Note: If the display has been calibrated and the black level is changed, the display must be recalibrated for correct black and white levels. 6.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration Non-M-Class player optical and coaxial digital outputs are always active, regardless of any other settings. HDMI audio is only active if the HDCP handshake is successful. Analog stereo outputs are active for any audio except DTS Digital Surround. Audio from movies with any audio format is output over HDMI, optical and coaxial cables, and the audio system must do the decoding. Note: The movie player always outputs PCM audio when playing a CD. 2.

Click OK to save settings. Network Settings Kaleidescape components, by default, obtain IP addresses from a DHCP server. Use the following procedure if a static IP address must be set (used with control systems) or to change other network parameters. 1. Select the NETWORK tab.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration With DHCP reservations, network parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, router IP, and DNS servers are configured in one place (at the DHCP server). If any of these parameters change, only the DHCP server has to be modified. For most installations, the DHCP server built into the router is perfectly adequate. DHCP reservations are usually made using MAC addresses. The procedure to create DHCP reservations is device-specific.
Kaleidescape Installation Guide System Configuration Figure 4-19 CONTROL Tab Settings for Players 2. Select the appropriate serial port settings for the player from the drop-down menus. Table 3 shows server settings and default serial port settings for players. Server control settings cannot be changed but control software settings must match the server control settings.

Assigning a unique device identifier allows a controller to communicate with multiple Kaleidescape devices with one connection. The only module provided by Kaleidescape that requires CPDIDs to be set is the AMX module. Other modules communicate directly with the player. Note: It is NOT usually necessary to connect a server to a control system.
