Setting Up the Kaleido-X16

Obtaining EDID Data From Display Screens When Using the DXF-100 Interface

The DXF-100 is a transmitter/receiver combination that allows a digital flat panel display to be located up

to 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) away from the signal source. The transmitter and receiver are interconnected

by a single multimode optical fiber, and connect to the source and display using DVI connectors.

The DXF-100 must be configured for its target display, before it is connected to the Kaleido-X16, otherwise

the Extended display identification data (EDID) information listed in XAdmin’s Status and Options page

will not reflect the actual values for the target display. XAdmin would not be reporting the actual timing

data from the display, but default values corresponding to the maximum resolution supported by the

DXF-100, i.e. 1920 × 1200. The DXF-100 interface is unidirectional from the transmitter (Kaleido-X16) to

the receiver (display). For XAdmin to show timing data from the display, the EDID information needs to be

transmitted in the reverse direction: from the display to the Kaleido-X16.

To obtain a display’s timing information in XAdmin, do the following:

• Connect the display directly to the MV-Out output of the Kaleido-X16 (requires an adapter), by using

a copper cable. (This is not always practical, since the display can be far or mounted on a wall.)

• Alternatively, connect the DXF-100 transmitter to the DVI input connector on the display, and then

connect it to its power supply. The LED will flash for a few seconds while the transmitter reads and

stores the EDID information from the display. When the LED stops flashing, disconnect the transmitter

from the display and reconnect it to the Kaleido-X16. The EDID information from the display will now

be visible in XAdmin.

Please refer to the DXF-100 DVI Fiber Optic Interface User’s Manual (part no. M792-9500-1XX) for more

information.

Verifying the Kaleido-RCP2

To verify that the RCP2 is functioning normally, do the following:

1. Log on to the RCP2.

2. Test various operations using the RCP2 keyboard and the mouse (e.g. load layout presets).

Verifying the Audio Bridge Terminal

To verify that the ABT is functioning normally, do the following:

• Inspect the ACTIVITY and front panel LEDs on the unit to make sure there are no error conditions.

The ACTIVITY indicator is located on the right-hand side of the rear panel. This LED reports the status

of the Ethernet connection as follows:

1 2 ... 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38
