Note: you can see at a glance which channel is assigned to which monitor by clicking the Tab key on the
SIP keyboard (you can do this also with the Kaleido-RCP – more on that in section 5).
Making a monitor display full screen
The next parameter in the Monitor Configuration menu is Full Screen, which makes the window fill up the
screen. When a monitor has been enlarged to full screen, right-click on it and you will notice that a check
mark appears next to the Full Screen parameter; select Full Screen again to unselect it, and the
previous layout is restored.
Note: the full screen layout is configurable via K-Edit (see section 7 K-Edit Software ) and can be saved
as default by pressing the Full Screen key on the Kaleido-RCP for more than 7 seconds (see section 5.3
Kaleido-RCP operation in details).
Changing a monitor’s aspect ratio
If the video input signal is of a different aspect ratio than the monitor in which it is displayed, you may
change the monitor’s aspect ratio to display the signal without deformation. The available selections are
4:3, 16:9, and a custom ratio if any, defined with K-Edit (i.e. 14:9).
