Physical Interface

Kaleido-X Frame Interfaces

Overview
The Kaleido-X (7RU) frame is 7 RU high. It incorporates an internal midplane for
interconnecting the cards. Cards are installed from the front of the frame. Each card is
associated with input and/or output connectors which are mounted on a connector panel.
These connector panels are installed from the rear of the frame, in the same horizontal
position as their associated card. The redundant power supplies are installed at the top of
the frame.
Front Frame Interfaces
The hinged front door can be opened to give access to the cards. A removable retaining bar
across the front of the frame inside the door holds the cards securely in place.
The Kaleido-X (7RU) frame incorporates the following key elements:
• A rack-mountable frame that has slots for cards and modules
• A side-opening, removable door to cover and protect the front of the frame and the
installed cards
• A midplane board that enables inter-card communication
• Slots for installing signal processing cards that plug into the midplane
• Mounting points for rear connector panels
• Redundant power supplies
Function
Supports SD-SDI signals only
Notes
• KXO-24Router cards do not support 3Gbps signals. In the case of a
Kaleido-X (7RU) with the 3G input option enabled, if you try routing a
3 GBps source to a KXO-24Router destination, the internal router will not
let the video signal through, resulting in a black output.
