Picture quality

Kaleido-X16 offers unmatched picture quality, using Miranda´s scaling technology.

Windows can be resized all the way from very small windows up to full screen display,

without the loss of definition that is commonly associated with multi-viewers. This

high performance, combined with superior on-screen graphics, makes Kaleido-X16

ideal for the most critical monitoring applications.

Unmatched picture quality and display elements

5.1

Audio meters

Kaleido-X16 can display four group, multi-channel audio for multi-lingual and 5.1 applica-

tions. Audio level meters are extracted from analog, AES or embedded signals, and can

be positioned inside the video window in transparency or outside. Ballistics and scales are

configurable, and a phase correlation meter can be displayed with each pair. Dolby E audio

can be extracted from an embedded audio signal for on-screen metering. An audio meter

can readjust itself based on inserted Program Configuration metadata.

Automatic aspect ratio control and safe areas

Aspect ratio and safe area markers can be positioned over video windows to simplify multi-

format monitoring. Free form safe area markers, based on a user’s bitmap, can be overlaid

on top of each video window. This feature is useful to protect graphical content or branding

that will be applied downstream after production.

The processor can automatically change a signal’s aspect ratio between 16:9 and 4:3,

based on the Active Format Description (AFD), Wide Screen Signaling (WSS) or source

resolution. Image formatting rules are followed during conversion, including letter/pillar

boxing and resizing/cropping.

Dynamically updated UMDs

Text labels (UMDs) can be displayed inside or outside windows, and updated by a UMD

controller. Dynamic text can be driven by NVISION and many third-party routers, and by

some automation vendors. Kaleido-X16 also offers a serial interface for leading production

switchers, which provides tally updates as well as sources and destination labels. Text fonts

are flexible and support UNICODE for multi-lingual texts.

Clocks and timers

Multiple analog and digital clocks/timers (with date) can be displayed with programmable

offsets and configurable colors. The clocks/timers can be driven by LTC, referenced inter-

nally, or to an NTP server. Each output module features three independent LTC inputs.
