How to display close caption text on the Kaleido-K2?

Kaleido-K2 can display close captioning text coming from a Densité probe (like the SCP-1121) or from an incoming feed.

Displaying close caption text from a Densité probe

The following steps describe how to create an Alias for the Densité probe, how to add a Close Caption Text Component that will display close caption text coming from a Densité probe to an online Layout (while the KEdit is connected to the Layout displayed by a Kaleido-K2) or to an offline Layout, and how to apply online a Layout on a Kaleido-K2.

Creating an Alias for a Densité probe

The first step is to get the Miranda Long ID from the Kaleido.log:

Note the probe's address.

Note that you can also retrieve the Miranda Long ID using the iNavigator application. Please refer to the iControl Navigator Manual for instructions.

After you have found the Densité Probe's ID you can create an alias. An alias is a "nickname" that can be used through-out the Kaleido-K2 instead of the probe's Long ID when referring to the probe. Here are the steps to create an alias. If you prefer to use the Miranda Long ID you can skip these steps:

Adding a Close Caption Text Component to an online Layout

Your Close Caption Text Component now uses the configured Densité probe as its source.

You can assign the modified Layout to a preset. To do so using the Kaleido RCP press and hold the function key (those keys are located to the top of the device) for at least 6 seconds to associate it with the Layout. 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.

Adding a Close Caption Text Component to an offline Layout

Your Close Caption Text Component now uses the configured Densité probe as its source. To be used, this Layout needs to be applied online to a Kaleido-K2.

Applying a Layout online on a Kaleido-K2

The Layout should appear on the Kaleido-K2. You can assign the newly applied 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) on your keyboard for at least 6 seconds to assign the modified Layout to a preset key.

Displaying close caption text from an incoming feed

The following steps describes how to configure a Kaleido-K2 so it will display close captioning text, how to add a Close Caption Text Component to an online Layout (while the KEdit is connected to the Layout displayed by a Kaleido-K2) or to an offline Layout and how to apply online a Layout on a Kaleido-K2.

Configuring a Kaleido-K2 to decode VBI following the North American Standard (EIA 608)

This operation can only be done while connected online to the Kaleido-K2:

Your Kaleido-K2 is now configured to decode close caption text.

Adding a Close Caption Text Component to an online Layout

Your Close Caption Text Component now uses the configured input as its source.

You can assign the modified Layout to a preset. To do so using the Kaleido RCP press and hold the function key (those keys are located to the top of the device) for at least 6 seconds to associate it with the Layout. 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.
