Kaleido-X16 Installation
Control
One USB connector on the front of the frame
RS-422
The Kaleido-X16 supports two RS-422 serial inputs over RJ-45 connectors. These inputs
allow the Kaleido-X16 to connect to external serial devices such as a router, production
switcher, or router controller.
The pinout for the RS-422 signals on the Kaleido-X16’s RJ-45 connectors, and the wiring
diagrams for the appropriate adapters, are shown here:
Standard wiring between multiviewer and devices wired to SMPTE “slave” specification (e.g. most
routers, Ross Synergy switchers, Nevion ETH-CON)
Note: The Kaleido-X16’s two RS-422 ports each have an RJ-45 connector in
order to preserve space on a busy panel. The RS-422 interface specifies a
DE-9 connector, so if you are using this interface, you will require a
DE-9-to-RJ-45 adapter. Grass Valley supplies two adapter models, correctly
wired for this application: a straight adapter (part no. 1737-3000-102), and a
crossover adapter (part no. 1792-3700-100).
