Grass Valley Kaleido-XQUAD 4x1 Multi-Viewer

The Miranda Kaleido-XQUAD 4x1 Multi-Viewer outputs four video sources to one monitor simultaneously in a split-screen configuration, supporting also embedded audio. XQUAD is ready to go straight out of the box, featuring a 1RU half width frame with silent ventilation. XQUAD accepts video sources by four SDI inputs, and for output to a monitor, XQUAD has one SDI output and one HDMI output. Only one of the two is required, and you can select either. Accordingly, any SDI monitor or any HDMI monitor can be connected, and the free output can be used to at the same time connect a router. All the SDIs support 3G, HD, and SD. Complementary to outputting video (and audio), XQUAD also outputs timecode, tallies, audio meters, safe area markers, time of day sync to NTP, database-updated or static labels, and timers that function by mouse or GPI control. XQUAD operates with less than a 1/2 frame delay. Award winning Kaleido-X scaling technology ensures that high resolution video will display properly in each screen (widget) of a split-screen layout.

Split-screen combinations/configurations are selectable via an included software called XEdit. You can split the screen in two and output only two of the inputs, for example, or you can select a full four-way split. The splits get formed by outline bars. You can choose these bars to be of any color you want, and you can additionally upload a logo to display on the bars, although in most cases only a portion of the logo will be visible as the more expansive your split the thinner the bars will be. The bar-related adjustments are also done in the included software. An optional controller, the Keleido-RCP2, can be connected to alter by push-buttons many of the configurations made in the software.

XQUAD supports both 50 and 60Hz rates and consumes a maximum of 29W of power.
