How to display thumbnails or streaming video on the Kaleido-K2?
Kaleido-K2 has the ability to display streaming video or thumbnails coming from Allegro Encoders or Densité probes. The following steps explain how to add a Streaming Video Component to a Layout while connected online to a Kaleido-K2 and how to add a Streaming Video Component to a Layout while working with an offline Layout.
Using an online Layout
Identify the Kaleido-K2 on which you will apply the modifications and open KEdit.
- Choose "Online" from the "Open" option of the "File" menu or press "Ctrl-O".
- Select the name of the Kaleido-K2 on which you want to apply your modifications from the list containing the discovered Kaleido-K2 and select "Open".
- The Layout contained in KEdit is now the Layout from the selected Kaleido-K2. The title of the Layout should begin with "ONLINE-", which indicates you are now editing a Layout that is currently displayed on a Kaleido-K2.
- From the Components toolbar, select the "Streaming Video" icon. Click on the Layout where you want the Component to appear and drag your mouse until the Component reaches the desired size.
- If needed, resize (using the white squares located in the middle of each side and at the corners) the Component and move it.
- If it is not already displayed, display the "Configuration Panel" by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu or by double-clicking on the Component or by pressing "F5".
- In the "RTP" section the IP address and Feed Id fields must be completed. The values to enter in those fields will be different if you want to display data coming from an Allegro Encoder or from a Densité Probe.
With a source coming from an Allegro Encoder:
- In the "IP Address" text field enter the IP address of the encoder. This takes the form of "999.999.999.999".
- In the "Feed Id" text field enter the channel to use from the data stream, typically "C1" or "C2".
With a source coming from a Densité Probe:- In the "IP Address" text field enter the IP address of the Miranda Application Server that is controlling the probe.
- In the "Feed Id" text field enter the card's Long ID.
- If you wish to use the Native Resolution click on the "Restore Native Resolution" button.
- Click on the "Apply" button to apply your modifications to the Streaming Video Component.
The added Streaming Viewer Component should now display the data it receives from the selected source.
You can assign the modified Layout to a preset on 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. Using a keyboard connected to your Kaleido-K2 press a function key (F1 through F10) for at least 6 seconds to associate it with the Layout.
Using an offline Layout
If it is not already opened, open the Layout to modify by selecting "File" from the "Open" item of the "File" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-F".
- From the Components toolbar, select the "Streaming Video" icon. Click on the Layout where you want the Component to appear and drag your mouse until the Component reaches the desired size.
- If needed, resize (using the white squares located in the middle of each side and at the corners) the Component and move it.
- If it is not already displayed, display the "Configuration Panel" by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu or by double-clicking on the Component or by pressing "F5".
- In the "RTP" section the IP address and Feed Id fields must be completed. The values to enter in those fields will be different if you want to display data coming from an Allegro Encoder or from a Densité Probe.
With a source coming from an Allegro Encoder:
- In the "IP Address" text field enter the IP address of the encoder. This takes the form of "999.999.999.999".
- In the "Feed Id" text field enter the channel to use from the data stream, typically "C1" or "C2".
With a source coming from a Densité Probe:- In the "IP Address" text field enter the IP address of the Miranda Application Server that is controlling the probe.
- In the "Feed Id" text field enter the card's Long ID.
- Click on the "Apply" button to apply your modifications to the Streaming Video Component.
You can adjust the size and position of your Component. Save your modified Layout by selecting "Save" from the "File" menu or by pressing "Ctrl-S".
Applying the Layout to a Kaleido-K2
The Layout you modified now needs to be applied on a Kaleido-K2 in order to use the modifications you made. Here are the steps to take in order to apply this Layout to a Kaleido-K2:
The Layout is now the currently displayed Layout on the selected Kaleido-K2. You can assign the modified Layout to a preset key on 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) on your keyboard for at least 6 seconds to assign the modified Layout to a preset key.
