Miranda Camera Co KALEIDO-K2 Manuale Utente

Kaleido K2  |  9  

The location of the connectors differs between input and output cards, so placing the wrong type of card in a slot is 
simply not possible. The two output cards provide identical outputs.  
 

 
Each Kaleido must be equipped with a Controller module and an output card, and may be equipped with a variety 
of audio and video input modules depending upon the operational environment. One output module comes 
standard with Kaleido-K2, and two output modules are included with the Kaleido-K2 Dual Head. You may add a 
secondary module in the single head mode for redundancy purposes. Each of the available modules is described 
below, as is the associated rear connector panels electrical installation.  Each video input slot may receive up to 4 
video inputs, and each audio input slot may receive up to 16 audio signals. Figure below shows the arrangement of 
the input/output slots. 
 

 

 

 
 
4.4.1 Controller Module 
 
The Controller Module is the largest module in Kaleido. It sits on the left-hand side of the frame, beside and in front 
of the power supply units. It incorporates the Kaleido’s on-board computing resources (CPU, memory, graphics 
card), a hard disk drive, and the communication ports for remote control of the Kaleido. Some of the data used for 
on-screen display is also received through these communication ports. This module handles communications 
between the input and output cards in the Kaleido-K2 frame, and communications with the outside world.
