System Requirements for a Client PC

Note:

In line with our commitment to environmental preservation, only the

Quick Start Guide for your multiviewer model, and some ancillary
documents (e.g. welcome letters, warranty cards) are distributed in printed
form. All manuals are available on the DVD that shipped with your
multiviewer. See the “Documentation” section of the Release Notes for a
complete list. You can obtain the latest version of the manuals, the Release
Notes, as well as software and useful data, from the Documentation Library
section of Grass Valley’s website.

Notes

• On all Kaleido multiviewers, the network adapters are set to auto-

negotiate. By default, the connection speed and duplex mode will be set
automatically based on the corresponding port settings on the switch.

• If you have two displays, make sure the HDMI connectors on the

multiviewer side have the same dimensions. Otherwise, the multiviewer’s
built-in locking mechanism will not be able to secure the smaller of the
two connectors. You may order suitable HDMI cables from Grass Valley—
