Re:source Kaleidescape Please note: Software update! Unlike the software for the Standard communication module, the Kaleidescape control software is premium-priced and therefore copy protected. Under no circumstances should you load any other software than the Kaleidescape version when carrying out an update. If a different software is loaded, the Kaleidescape software is then blocked and has to be reloaded at the Revox Head Office in Villingen, Germany.

Re:source Kaleidescape Installation The Communication plug-in card is equipped with the latest in electronics and should be handled with care. Remove the Communication module from its packaging and feed it into its plug-in position. The two bars inside the M51 are the mechanical guides for you to use. Before you install the card, the M51 must be switched off and separated from the power supply, by plugging the unit out. The lettering on the Communication module must be on top.

Re:source Kaleidescape Cabling As described previously in the Connection panel chapter, Music and Movie Players are cabled separately from each other with the Revox components. These audio connections between Music Player and Kaleidescape module are intended exclusively for transmissions from the central Music server in the Main room and the Additional rooms (Multiroom operation). They enable access to the Music Players from every room, over the Revox Multiroom system.
Re:source Kaleidescape Movie Player The decentral cabling of the Kaleidescape Movie Player can either be done with an M219 Additional room amplifier or an M51. The additional cabling of a Movie Player through the local input of an amplifier (M219 or M51), enables the independent operation of this Movie Room, separate from the other rooms in the Multiroom system.

Re:source Kaleidescape n Remote Routing Kaleidescape module setup Remote Routing defines which address will be used for sending the Kaleidescape system commands. To ensure correct operation, the selected setting must be the same as that in the M51 Remote menu and in the mpi file in the M208 Remote control. You can choose from the addresses shown in the graphic. You can make your choice from an endless loop using the softkeys and The basic settings for the Kaleidescape module are made in Setup.
Re:source Kaleidescape Assignment in the Remote menu Configuring the M208 As with the Remote menu setting, the Routing assignment must also be taken into account when selecting the mpi file for the M208 Remote control. The Music and the Movie Players each have their own mpi file. Together with the 4 different Routing settings therefore, there are 8 different mpi files available. Assignment example: Aux1/ Server Aux1 /Server was selected for Routing in the above example.
Re:source Kaleidescape n Identification number n Music Player serial numbers If several Music Players are to be operated in the Kaleidescape system, an assignment must be made through the identification (device) number to identify which Music Player is communicating with the Kaleidescape module.
