A clear view for any of your monitoring requirements.

The Kaleido-IP Video Multiviewer from Grass Valley offers the most

simultaneous video and audio program decodes in the industry, including

SMPTE ST 2022-6 and the 2110 suite, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 part 2 (H.263) and

part 10 (H.264/AVC), H.265/HEVC, HE-AAC v1 & v2, AAC, DD 2.0, DD 5.1

and DD+. For easy ordering and installation, the Kaleido-IP is available as an

appliance with two different models to choose to meet your performance

requirements.

For scalable, space-saving and easy-to-manage installations, the Kaleido-IP

VM version offers all the benefits of virtualization in an easy to deploy virtual

image (OVA file).

Possessing superior layout flexibility and remarkably easy to use, Kaleido-IP

monitors local and remote DVB IP streams, either in single or multiprogram

transport stream formats, uncompressed IP video and audio streams such

as SMPTE ST 2110, as well as OTT streams such as HLS. The unique

Kaleido-IP cluster feature supports combining of multiple units to support

the very largest monitoring requirements.

Thanks to its advanced signal quality probing and alarming, it stays on top

of video and audio faults, including freeze, black, silence, loudness, SCTE 35

digital cue tones and TR 101 290 analysis.

Kaleido-IP is the world’s first multiviewer that fully implements the Networked

Media Open Specifications (NMOS) Discovery and Registration Specification

(IS-04), as well as the Device Connection Management Specification (IS-05).

These specifications are promoted by AMWA, JT-NM, AIMS and several

major media companies, as they provide an easy and interoperable method

for integrating control of IP devices.

IP Monitoring in the Broadcast Facility

Whether you are building or upgrading a master control room for content delivery, live or remote production, the Kaleido-IP is the perfect solution for monitoring

all types of IP streams within your broadcast facility.

Kaleido-IP offers visualization and probing of uncompressed IP sources such as SMPTE ST 2022-6 and SMPTE ST 2110, alongside DVB MPEG IP transport

streams, and over-the-top (OTT) delivery formats such as HLS.

This makes the Kaleido-IP the perfect solution to simplify monitoring of all types of IP streams on a single multiviewer.

Kaleido-IP SMPTE ST 2110 application

Kaleido-IP receives SMPTE ST 2110 sources, and also outputs the mosaic views over SMPTE ST 2110. The outputs are routable over IP to any display. The

Grass Valley IPVU converts from IP to HDMI at the display. As demand for more displays increases, scalability is enabled by increasing the number of Kalei-

do-IP and IPVUs.

Playout Control Room Monitoring

Kaleido-IP offers an easy transition from baseband to IP source monitoring within a playout center and is ideal for returns monitoring from local TV stations in

a hub or for spoke TV distribution models. Kaledio-IP gives broadcasters and playout centers the critical visibility of downstream signals they need to maintain

quality of service.

By combining Kaleido-IP with a Kaleido baseband multiviewer, IP and baseband video signals can be freely mixed on the monitors in a playout control room.

Using the cascade feature, the system behaves as a single unified multiviewer system, with common configuration and control tools, that allow operators to

view ever signal in the workflow, whether it’s baseband or one of the growing number of IP streams.

Highly Integrated Headend and Hub Monitoring

The Kaleido-IP visualizes and verifies audio/video quality issues at multiple points in an IP-based delivery infrastructure. This ensures the highest QoE for

the viewers, and minimizes the Mean Time to Repair. The Kaleido-IP multiviewer can be combined with Grass Valley’s Densité IRD-3811 integrated receiver/

decoder and EdgeVision set-top box probe to create highly integrated systems for monitoring local and remote televisions signals distributed over IP. This

system can monitor both multicast MPEG transport streams as well as low bitrate proxy streams.

Sophisticated Alarm Displays

The Kaleido-IP offers very sophisticated alarm display elements, which are activated when video/audio, metadata or SNMP alarms are detected. Informative

text and graphics alert operators at the monitor wall, with color coded on-screen alarm status indicators. These status indicators can be configured to latch

the status, in case of sudden faults that cannot be intercepted by the operators. Acknowledgement mechanisms are available, with interaction by an on-screen

mouse.

Configurable blinking status Latched status

The virtual alarm configuration tool allows grouping of alarm statuses to create a single “virtual” alarm. It also offers

alarm severity configuration and logical operations like AND, OR, and XOR between alarms.

iControl’s extensive library of third-party devices allows Kaleido-IP to leverage existing IP and MPEG probing devices to increase alarming capabilities.

RCP-200

The highly graphical RCP-200 touchscreen remote panel offers more advanced control of combined multiviewer and routing systems. The panel provides

multiviewer layout pre-set selection, and quick router source assignment control via a category/index graphical interface. The RCP-200 is a multifunctional

panel, and can also be used for control of Densité Series interfaces.

Intuitive Control Across Multiviewers

Kaleido multiviewer systems can be easily controlled by one or more

dedicated remote control panels, or by an on-screen mouse control.

Simple to use, on-screen mouse operated drop-down menus are contextual

to speed operations, and offer numerous functions, such as changing aspect

ratios, checking the safe area, assigning an input, and changing text in a

UMD.

Users can also instantly change layout configurations, and dynamically zoom

one source larger for quality control, or audio monitoring of an on-screen

source.

The Kaleido-RCP2 remote panel exemplifies this simplicity, and provides easy

multiroom, multioperator control over Ethernet, with local connections for a

mouse and keyboard.
