Miranda Technologies will be highlighting the new Kaleido-Quad-Dual dual quad-split processor at NAB, which combines two independent quad-split processors in a single 1RU frame. Miranda says the Kaleido-Quad-Dual is ideal for applications such as mobile truck monitoring, which typically demands high density monitoring across multiple, high quality but inexpensive LCD monitors.

Unlike traditional quad-split processors, the Kaleido-Quad-Dual provides full flexibility with respect to the sizing and positioning of the HD/SD/Analog video windows. The processor has 2 x 4 auto-sensing HD-SDI/ SDI / Analog Composite video inputs, and two high quality DVI outputs with up to 1920 x 1200 pixels. The aspect ratio of the video windows can be automatically controlled by AFD and WSS.

The Kaleido-Quad-Dual also offers advanced video and audio probing, including signal black, freeze and luminance too high, audio presence, overload, mono and out of phase alarms. The display can also include Embedded, AES and Analog audio level metering, along with Source IDs, tallys, aspect ratio markers, and clocks/timers.

Kaleido-Alto-Dual offers highly intuitive control, using either a mouse or compact remote panel. Mouse-operated on-screen drop-down menus are contextual to speed operations, and offer numerous functions, such as changing aspect ratios, checking the safe area, and changing text in a UMD. Users can also instantly change layout configurations, and dynamically zoom one source larger for quality control, or audio monitoring of an on-screen source.

The compact Kaleido-RCP remote panel provides swift recall of layouts, and the selection of a window full screen, or the selection of an audio pair to the monitoring output.

The Kaleido-Quad-Dual features built-in redundant power supplies for a high level of resilience. The processor is also available as a lower cost, single quad-split version.
