Setting Up Your KMV-3901/3911 Multiviewer
Getting Organized
A Kaleido-Modular KMV-3901/3911 multiviewer system in its default configuration includes a number of
layout presets. The default output head configuration is set to automatically detect the resolution of the
associated display. If this information is not available, it will fall back to 1920 × 1080 @ 60 Hz (HDTV). The
Kaleido-Modular range offers the most space- and energy-efficient multiviewer system. Housed in a
Densité
3+ FR1, Densité 3 or Densité 3 mini frame, the expandable, eight-input, dual-output KMV-3911 card
replaces the earlier KMV-3901 model in the Kaleido-Modular range. A single 3 RU Densité 3 frame can hold
up to 10 KMV-3911 (or KMV-3901) multiviewer cards, providing up to 20 quad-split outputs. The highly
compact, half-1 RU Densité 3 mini frame can hold a single multiviewer card, providing up to two quad-split
outputs. The Densité
3+ FR1 frame can hold two multiviewer cards, providing up to four quad-split outputs.
The Kaleido-Modular range is ideal for production monitoring in trucks. It integrates tightly with other
Densité signal processing cards, routers and production switchers.
Overview of single card functionality
Kaleido-Modular KMV-3901/3911 systems are available in the following sizes: 4 × 1, 4 × 2,
8 × 1, 8 × 2, 12 × 1, 12 × 2, 16 × 1, 16 × 2, 20 × 1, 20 × 2, 24 × 1 and 24 × 2. In addition to the
earlier model’s features, the KMV-3911 supports up to two HD-SDI monitoring outputs.
