Miranda Technologies today announced that Daystar Television Network has installed a Kaleido-X multi-room, multi-image processor in a 40 foot production trailer. Seven smaller Kaleido multi-image processors are in use in Control Rooms in the newly built, all-digital headquarters, the International Ministry Center in Dallas, Texas.

With a potential audience of over 128 million in the US alone, Daystar has emerged as the fastest growing Christian Television Network in the world, reaching over 200 countries.

The Kaleido-X's highly expandable, multi-room architecture is based on a chassis with 96 HD/SD/Analog inputs, and up to eight multi-image outputs per frame. Multiple frames can be linked to address the very largest monitoring applications. Its multi-room design allows multiple operators to control displays independently, each using a separate control panel.

'The layout software for the Kaleido-X is incredibly intuitive, and the picture quality for each display window is superb, regardless of the image size, or how many windows are displayed at any one time', explains Steve
McNeal, Director of Engineering, for the Daystar Television Network.

'The processor's multi-room layout editor has simplified the sharing and presentation of sources within the Daystar Production Trailer across three areas: production, audio, and engineering/shading, which are controlled by multiple operators.'

'Even non-technical operators can quickly use drag and drop layout creation tools, with automatic re-size and alignment capabilities. This makes creating layouts for the different areas within the trailer very simple, and each monitoring set-up can be switched from venue to venue with the push of a button.'

Each Kaleido-X frame can display up to 96 HD, SD or Analog inputs, any number of times, in any size, across eight displays of any resolution and orientation, without blocking or grouping restrictions.

A built-in routing capability can offer switching of 96 unprocessed inputs to up to 48 HD/SD outputs for feeding baseband monitors and test equipment, thereby saving space and costs.

Three of the smaller, 32-input Kaleido processors are being used for signal monitoring at Daystar's Network Operations Center. Three more processors are used in its Production Control Room, and a seventh unit is installed in the Production Audio Control Room at Daystar's state-of-the-art, 86,000 square foot HQ.
