Release Notes Kaleido-Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual Version 3.31

Part Number: M785-0203-115

Please read this notice carefully before upgrading your

Kaleido-Alto, Kaleido-Quad, or Kaleido-Quad-Dual

The Kaleido-Alto-HD provides 10 auto-sensing inputs capable of detecting HD-SDI, SD-SDI as well as composite

video signal. The Kaleido-Quad-HD and Kaleido-Quad-Dual-HD are scaled-down versions of the Kaleido-Alto-HD,

with only 4 inputs. This software release (version 3.31) resolves minor issues, and is compatible with KEdit

version 5.22, 5.30 MR2, 5.40 or higher. An updated online documentation set for KEdit is included since version

3.30. Please refer to the ReadMeFirst.txt file located under

Kaleido-Alto-Quad V3.31\Software Backup, on the Kaleido-Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual CD-ROM. Among

other important information, the ReadMeFirst file explains how to install the updated KEdit documentation (if

you have not had a chance to do it already).

Before proceeding with the upgrade, make sure your Kaleido-Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual CompactFlash card has at

least 15 MB of free space. This information is available in the System Status window of the Kaleido-

Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual. On the K-Alto, Quad or Quad-Dual menu, click Status to view the System Status

window.

If there is not enough free space on the CompactFlash (CF) card, there are two options:

• Purchase a higher-capacity CF card to avoid this problem in the future. Follow the software backup

procedure to get started with the new card. The recommended models that have been tested by Miranda

are listed below.

SanDisk CompactFlash

Model Number Capacity

SDCFJ-64-388 64.2 MB

SDCFJ-128-388 128.4 MB

SDCFJ-256-388 256.9 MB

SDCFJ-512-388 512.5 MB

SDCFJ-1024-388 1024.9 MB

• Proceed with a manual upgrade and follow the software backup procedure (in this case you don't need

15 MB of free space).

The software backup procedure is described in the ReadMe.txt file located under

Kaleido-Alto-Quad V3.31\Software Backup, on the Kaleido-Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual CD-ROM.

NOTE: For the Kaleido-Alto/Quad cascade operation and configuration, please refer to the

“Alto/Quad Cascade Step-by-Step Configuration Guide” (M785-0604-102) shipped on the

Alto/Quad/Quad-Dual 3.31 CD-ROM.
