How to use the Text Label Component with the "Dynamic Text" option?
The Text Label Component can be configured to be used with static or dynamic text. The dynamic text option will allow you to set the text to display using a TSL, an Andromeda, an Encoda, a router, a Kalypso or the Gateway while your Layout is online.
Note that this procedure also works for a UMD component.
Modifying a Dynamic Text Label using a TSL
Installing the TSL option
Use the Kaleido-K2's CD-ROM and locate the folder named "Options". Inside this folder, select the following file and double click:
"TSLSetup_X_xx.exe" where X and xx are version numbers and will change with each release.
During the installation you need to select the appropriate communication port; COM1 or COM2. Refer to the first section for details.
Now that the TSL controller is connected to the Kaleido-K2, you can get the TSL "ID" as defined by Miranda's iControl community. You will need this ID to configure each dynamic text or Tally component inside your layouts. Because this unique identifier is long and complex to remember, it is suggested that you create an alias in the configuration files and use this alias as a substitute.
Getting the TSL service's Long ID
The long ID is made up of the IP address of the Kaleido-K2, the COM port on which the TSL controller is connected, and the name TSL.
e.g. 10.9.8.7_COM1_TSL
To verify that this is correctly installed and active, you may want to follow the following procedure.
10.9.8.7_COM1_TSL
Creating an Alias for the TSL's Long ID
After finding the TSL's ID you can create an alias, which is a "nickname" you could use while configuring your Kaleido. Here are the steps to create an alias. If you prefer to use the complete TSL's Long ID when configuring Components you can skip this section, but we highly recommend you to use the alias.
- On your Kaleido-K2 machine, open the file "C:\iControl\Startup\KG2Config.xml" with Notepad.
- Find the <OtherServices> section.
- Enter the following line:
<Service ServiceLabel="TheTSL" id="10.9.8.7_COM1_TSL"/>Where:- Save the KG2Config.xml file.
- You need to restart the Kaleido-K2 system, to be able to recognize the alias you just created.
Example of a KG2Config.xml:
![]()
Configuring the Text Label Component to be modified by a TSL.
The following explanations will guide you through the steps to take to configure a Text Label Component so its displayed text will be driven by a TSL. These steps are executed from KEdit.
- Select a Text Label Component.
- If the "Configuration Panel" is not already displayed display it by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu or by double-clicking on the Component or by pressing "F5".
- In the "Configuration Panel" select "Label Dynamic Text".
- In the "ServiceID" field type the alias of the TSL or the TSL Long ID if you choose to use the Long ID instead of an alias.
- In the "Text Address" field enter the address to associate with this Text Label. This value must range between 1 and 127.
- In the "Level" field enter the value that represents what you want to use from the data located at the specified address:
- If needed, adjust the transparency.
- If wanted choose a Border.
- If you're online you can specify a Channel to use.
- Click on the "Apply" button to apply your modifications to the Text Label Component.
![]()
The Component is now configured to take the text to display from the specified address of the TSL and to display a part of or all the characters found at this address. Considering that your TSL is already available to your Kaleido, all you have to do now to see the text appearing in the Text Label is to apply your Layout on your Kaleido-K2.
Configuring Dynamic Tallies from the TSL
To configure the Tallies sourced from the TSL, you must first create Alarm Monitors. These Alarm Monitors can then be assigned to any components that have alarm behavior in your layout i.e. Text Label color, UMD color, Tally, Video border or Status Indicators.
Creating an alarm monitor
Access Kaleido-K2's alarm resources by opening the Alarm Browser from the View menu, or by using F7. The browser shows a list of existing Alarm Monitors, and the Alarm Inhibition group with which each alarm monitor is associated, if any. Click on the header of either column to sort the table in ascending order according to that column.
Assigning an Alarm Monitor to a Video border.
Repeat this procedure for every Tally inside the layout.
Assign an Alarm Monitor "Tally 1" to individual Tally components.
Because you are using independent Tallies, you need to assign the right and left Tally individually. Use the same Alarm Monitor for both but configure different color scenarios for left and right to differentiate the states. Repeat this procedure for every Tally inside the layout.
Applying the modified Layout to a Kaleido-K2
The following explanations will guide you through the steps to take in order to apply the modified Layout on a Kaleido-K2:
- From KEdit, using the Layout to apply as the current Layout, select "Apply Layout Online" from the "File" menu or press "Alt-A". The "Apply Layout Online..." dialog will appear.
- Select the destination Kaleido-K2 from the list of the detected Kaleido-K2.
- In the "Exporting data from KEdit" area select the objects that need to be exported (hint: if the Layout is using a Channel you created for this Layout, you should choose to export at least the Channels).
- Click on the "Load" button.
Your Layout is now the Layout that is currently displayed on the selected Kaleido-K2. You can assign the modified Layout to a preset key of the Kaleido RCP by pressing and holding one of the 10 function keys located at the top of the device for at least 6 seconds. If you're using a keyboard instead of the Kaleido RCP, press one of the 10 function keys (F1 through F10) of your keyboard for at least 6 seconds to assign the modified Layout to that preset key.
The texts and the Tallies will then be dynamically updated from the TSL device.
Modifying a Dynamic Text Label using an Andromeda
Installing the Andromeda option
Use the Kaleido-K2's CD-ROM and locate the folder named "Options". Inside this folder, select the following file and double click:
phillips ("AndromedaSetup.exe")
The installer will automatically install the device to the COM1 port.
To change the serial port settings of the Thomson-Andromeda, use the xml files located on your Kaleido system under c:\iControl\Startup\Phillips\umdcfg.xml.
Now that the Andromeda controller is connected to the Kaleido-K2, you can get the Andromeda "ID" as defined by Miranda's iControl community. You will need this "ID" to configure each dynamic text or Tally component inside your layouts. Because this unique identification is long and complex to remember, it is suggested that you create an alias in the configuration files and use this alias as a substitute.

Configuring Text Label for dynamic tracking from Routing switcher
This is available when you have purchased the option MWS-Router CTRL or MWS-UMD. An installer is provided to install the iControl Router Manager from which the Kaleido-K2 will be querying the Source Labels. The Router Manager can be installed on the Kaleido-K2 itself or on a separate PC when several Kaleidos will be querying the labels. We recommend installing the Router Manager on a separate PC in this case to isolate the dynamic label service from one Kaleido in particular. Refer to the Router Manager installer provided with the option to install this service. The connection to the client PC or to the Kaleido-K2 to get the source label is done through the Ethernet via TCP-IP network.
Text data base is configured in the iControl Router Manager.
In order to be able to send information from a Router to a Text Label contained in a Kaleido-K2 Layout, you must know the address of the Router on the network. It is also convenient to create an alias for this address.
Getting the Router service's Long ID
- From your Kaleido-K2's desktop, double click on the icon "My Computer".
- Navigate to "C:\iControl\Startup\" and open the file "Kaleido.log" using the Notepad (right click on the "Kaleido.log" file and select "Notepad" from the "Open With" menu).
- Within Notepad, press "Ctrl-F" or select "Find..." from the Edit menu and in the "Find What" section enter "serviceAdded called for ID:".
Each entry found will give you a Miranda Long ID. Continue looking through the file until you find the Long ID of your Router. The Long ID of a Router should have the following form:10.9.8.7_COM1_RouterName_00_SLOTXX_MODULEIDXXXXWhere:Creating an Alias for the Router's Long ID
After finding the Router's ID you can create an alias, which is a "nickname" you could use while configuring your Kaleido. Here are the steps to create an alias. If you prefer to use the complete Router's Long ID you can skip this section, but it is highly recommend that you use the alias.

Modifying the displayed text
The following explanations will guide you through the use of the Gateway via the HyperTerminal software in order to modify the text displayed by a Text Label Component.
Open the HyperTerminal software on your computer, and from the "Program" menu choose "Accessories", "Communications" and "HyperTerminal". A dialog will appear, enter a name for the connection and select an icon.
A second dialog, "Connect To", will appear. In the "Connect using" dropdown field choose "TCP/IP (Winsock)". Two new fields will appear; in the "Host address" field enter the IP address of your Kaleido-K2 and in the "Port number" field enter "13000". This indicates that you will be connected to your Kaleido-K2 via the port 13000. Click on the "OK" button.
To be able to see the typed characters:
- Select "Properties" from the "File" menu, the "Properties" dialog box appears.
- Go to the "Settings" tab, click on the "ASCII Setup..." button located at the bottom of the dialog
- Select "Echo typed characters locally".
- Click on the "OK" button and click again on the "OK" button from the "Properties" dialog.
You can now see the typed characters appearing in the console.
Commands can be sent to the Gateway while a session is opened. There is no maximum number of commands that can be sent in a session. A session must be opened and closed using two specific commands. While sending a command the syntax must be exact. If you make a mistake in the syntax, the command will not be understood. Here is a rough example of a session:
Open a session
send command
send command
...
send commandClose the session.
To open a session enter the following command:
<openID>IP_ADDRESS_0_4_0_0</openID>
Where:
If the Gateway receives the command, recognizes it as a command that can be handled it will send you the following response:
<ack/>
If the command cannot be recognized the following message will appear:
<nack/>
If you received this message, please consult the Gateway documentation included on the Kaleido-K2 CD to troubleshoot the installation and communication.
You are now ready to send commands. There is a command to use to change the text displayed by a Text Label Component. Here is the syntax of the command to send to change the text of a Text Component supporting Dynamic Text from the Gateway:
<setKDynamicText>set address="Identifier" text="NewText"</setKCurrentLayout>
Where:
If you received a <ack/> the specified text should now be displayed by the specified Text Label on your Kaleido-K2.
You can execute as many commands as you want. When you want to stop sending commands you have to close the session. The following command is used to close a session:
<closeID>IP_ADDRESS_0_4_0_0</closeID>
Where IP_ADDRESS is always the IP address of the Kaleido-K2.
Your session is now closed.
To end the communication, select the "Disconnect" icon from the toolbar.
Modifying a Dynamic Text Label using a Kalypso
Connection to the Kaleido-K2
Select a separate PC running Windows 2000/XP to install the standalone Kalypso service. This PC must have a least one free COM port as well as access to the Kaleido-K2 through TCP/IP connection. Physically connect the Kalypso equipment to this PC.
Note: If the Kalypso equipment is a Ross Synergy series Production Switcher, then please refer to the following checklist when connecting to the Miranda Kalypso service:
Installing the Kalypso standalone service
Contact Miranda to obtain the optional Kalypso installer if you plan to use this third-party device.
The Kalypso installer will be an executable file with a name something like "KalypsoSetup_X_XX.exe"
The installer will automatically install the device to the COM1 port.
To change the serial port settings of the Kalypso, use the kalypso.properties files located on your PC system under C:\Program Files\Miranda\Kalypso service\Startup\kalypso.properties
Make sure the Kalypso equipment COM settings matches the one set for the Kalypso service.
Now that the Kalypso controller is connected to the Kaleido-K2, you can get the Kalypso "ID" as defined by Miranda's iControl community. You will need this "ID" to configure each dynamic text or Tally component inside your layouts. Because this unique identification is long and complex to remember, it is suggested that you create an alias in the configuration files and use this alias as a substitute.
Running the Kalypso standalone service
The Kalypso is a Windows service. As such, it is automatically started after installation. To take into account modifications to the kalypso.properties file, the service must be stopped and restarted using Windows service manager part of the Windows administrative tools.
Getting the Kalypso service's Long ID
The long ID is made up of the IP address of the PC running the Kalypso service, the COM port on which the Kalypso controller is connected, and the name Kalypso.
e.g. 10.9.8.7_COM1_KALYPSO
To verify that this is correctly installed and active, you may want to follow the following procedure.
This will give you the Miranda Long ID of the Kalypso service.
Creating an Alias for the Kalypso's Long ID
After finding the Kalypso's ID you can create an alias, which is a "nickname" you could use while configuring your Kaleido. Here are the steps to create an alias. If you prefer to use the complete Kalypso's Long ID when configuring Components you can skip this section, but we highly recommend you to use the alias.
- On your Kaleido-K2 machine, open the file "C:\iControl\Startup\KG2Config.xml" with Notepad.
- Find the <OtherServices> section.
- Enter the following line:
<Service ServiceLabel="TheKalypso" id="10.9.8.7_COM1_KALYPSO"/>Where:- Save the KG2Config.xml file.
- You need to restart the Kaleido-K2 system, to be able to recognize the alias you just created.
Example of a KG2Config.xml:
![]()
Configuring the Text Label Component to be modified by a Kalypso
The following explanations will guide you through the steps to take to configure a Text Label Component so its displayed text will be driven by a Kalypso. These steps are the same with a UMD. These steps are executed from KEdit.
- Select a Text Label Component.
- If the "Configuration Panel" is not already displayed display it by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu or by double-clicking on the Component or by pressing "F5".
- In the "Configuration Panel" select "Label Dynamic Text".
- In the "ServiceID" field type the alias of the Kalypso or the Kalypso Long ID if you choose to use the Long ID instead of an alias.
- In the "Text Address" field enter the address to associate with this Text Label. This value must range between 1 and 128 or 1 to 48 depending on the "Level" selected.
- In the "Level" field enter the value that represents what you want to use from the data located at the specified address.
- Level 0 to 3 implies that the "Text Address" represent a Kalypso device output. In that case the "Text Address" must range between 1 and 48.
- 0: the label represents the initial background feed
- 1: the label represents the initial and the previous background feed
- 2: the label represents the previous background feed
- 3: the label represents the current background feed
- Level 4 implies that the "Text Address" represents a Kalypso device Source ID. In that case the "Text Address" must range between 1 and 128.
- 4: the label represents the current source id background feed
- If needed, adjust the transparency.
- If wanted choose a Border.
- If you're online you can specify a Channel to use.
- Click on the "Apply" button to apply your modifications to the Text Label Component.
The Component is now configured to take the text to display from the specified address of the Kalypso and to display a part of or all the characters found at this address. Considering that your Kalypso is already available to your Kaleido, all you have to do now to see the text appearing in the Text Label is to apply your Layout on your Kaleido-K2.
Configuring Dynamic Tallies from the Kalypso
To configure the Tallies sourced from the Kalypso, you must first create Alarm Monitors. These Alarm Monitors can then be assigned to any components that have alarm behavior in your layout i.e. Text Label color, UMD color, Tally, Video border or Status Indicators.
Creating an alarm monitor
Access Kaleido-K2's alarm resources by opening the Alarm Browser from the View menu, or by using F7. The browser shows a list of existing Alarm Monitors, and the Alarm Inhibition group with which each alarm monitor is associated, if any. Click on the header of either column to sort the table in ascending order according to that column.
Assigning an Alarm Monitor to a Video border.
Repeat this procedure for every Tally inside the layout.
Assign an Alarm Monitor "Tally 1" to individual Tally components.
Because you are using independent Tallies, you need to assign the right and left Tally individually. Use the same Alarm Monitors for both but configure different color scenarios for left and right to differentiate the states. Repeat this procedure for every Tally inside the layout.
Applying the modified Layout to a Kaleido-K2
The following explanations will guide you through the steps to take in order to apply the modified Layout on a Kaleido-K2:
- From KEdit, using the Layout to apply as the current Layout, select "Apply Layout Online" from the "File" menu or press "Alt-A". The "Apply Layout Online..." dialog will appear.
- Select the destination Kaleido-K2 from the list of the detected Kaleido-K2.
- In the "Exporting data from KEdit" area select the objects that need to be exported (hint: if the Layout is using a Channel you created for this Layout, you should choose to export at least the Channels).
- Click on the "Load" button.
Your Layout is now on your Kaleido-K2, and is the Layout that is currently displayed on the selected Kaleido-K2. You can assign the modified Layout to a preset key of the Kaleido RCP by pressing and holding for at least 6 seconds one of the 10 function keys located at the top of the device. If you're using a keyboard instead of the Kaleido RCP, press one of the 10 function keys (F1 through F10) or your keyboard for at least 6 seconds to assign the modified Layout to a preset key.
Modifying the displayed text
To modify the text displayed by the Text Label Component you must use the software associated with the Kalypso operation.
