Unlike the software for the Standard communication module, the Kaleidescape control software is premium-priced and therefore copy protected. Under no circumstances should you load any other software than the Kaleidescape version when carrying out an update. If a different software is loaded, the Kaleidescape software is then blocked and has to be reloaded at the Revox Head Office in Villingen, Germany. 1 Kaleidescape Re:source Software Update !

The Communicate module with the Kaleidescape software is described in this manual. The Kaleidescape System is integrated in the Revox Multiroom system through the Kaleidescape module. It can then be operated simply through the Revox M217/218 Wall-mounted units or the M208 Remote control. The Kaleidescape module accesses the complete Kaleidescape system through the Music Player. For this reason, one Music Player is always required, irrespective of how many Movie Players are operated in the system. Music Player An audio player that supplies the four zones of the Revox Multiroom system with four independent music signals, like a music server. Movie Player A video player that can supply a television or beamer with digital and analogue picture and sound signals, independently of the Music Player. Important advice M219 In Multiroom operation, the Kaleidescape module must have the M219 Additional room amplifier with software version 0.97 or higher. Kaleidescape serial numbers The serial numbers of the individual Music and Movie Player are needed for setup. Additionally, the Music Player serial interface must be adjusted to the Kaleidescape module serial interface. For this reason, Revox recommends that the settings are carried out together with the Kaleidescape agent/dealer who, if necessary, can read the required data out of the Kaleidescape players and/or set up the data in the Music Player. As a rule, the serial numbers of the individually players are located on the back of the device. 3 Kaleidescape Re:source Installation The Communication plug-in card is equipped with the latest in electronics and should be handled with care. Before you install the card, the M51 must be switched off and separated from the power supply, by plugging the unit out. The Communication module can be operated in each slot. The only exception is Slot 7, next to the speaker connections, as this is reserved for the 5.1 Decoder module. Loosen the two screws with the TORX screwdriver supplied and remove the blanking plate. Before removing the Communication module from its packaging, you should make sure that you do not have any static electricity. This could cause a damaging discharge of voltage when you touch the module. You should get rid of any static charge by touching an earthed metal object like a radiator, for example. Remove the Communication module from its packaging and feed it into its plug-in position. The two bars inside the M51 are the mechanical guides for you to use. The lettering on the Communication module must be on top. Shortly before the module is fully locked into position in its slot, you will feel a mechanical resistance, caused by the M51 contact strip. Push the Communication module in by applying pressure in the area of the two screw holes and fix the card in place with both screws. All further steps for the internal registering of the new module are carried out automatically by the M51 the next time it is switched on. 4 Kaleidescape Re:source Connection panel REVOX L IN 1 Music Player RS232 settings Baud rate: Data bits: Parity: Stop bits: Flow control: 57600 bit/s 8 bits None 1 None R 2 Audio connections The Kaleidescape module has 4 independent audio inputs that are connected with the 4 audio outputs on the Music Player.

These audio connections are intended exclusively for transmissions from the Music Player to the Main room and the Additional rooms. Independent of that, each Movie Player still has to be connected with the corresponding audio amplifier, e.g. M51 MR unit, M219, M51 Slave. You will find more information in the Chapter Movie Player Cabling, Page 12. Use a Stereo Cinch cable for each of the connections between Kaleidescape module and Music Player. These cables may have a maximum length of 10 m. RS232 connection The RS232 communication interface is connected to the Kaleidescape Music Player through a 9-pin Sub-D cable (1:1 connection; plug-socket). The Music Player interface must be adjusted to ensure correct communication. The Music Player Setup menus are operated through a Web Browser. You will find information about this in the next chapter Music Player Setup. 5 Kaleidescape Re:source Kaleidescape player setup Before you set up the Revox Kaleidescape module, you should make all the necessary settings for a problem-free communication in the Kaleidescape system, particularly in the Music Player or you should get the Kaleidescape system dealer/installer to do them. The Setup menu for the Kaleidescape system, which is in the Kaleidescape system network, is accessed through a PC with a Web Browser, e.g. Windows IE, Mozilla Firefox, etc. Kaleidescape offers two different accesses for the Setup menu: 1. General command You use the General command if the serial numbers of the Players are not known or are difficult to read: http://my-kaleidescape/installer 2. Serial number command If the serial number of a Kaleidescape player is known, the Setup menu can be called up in the Browser with the following command: http://ks-Serialnumber/installer Enter all 12 characters of the serial number, e.g. http://00000000145C/installer Apple Macintosh-Computers The following Browser commands are valid for Apple computers: 1. General command http://my-kaleidescape. local/installer 2. Serial number command http://ks-Serialnumber. local/installer The most important points of the setup of the Kaleidescape system, which are significant for the setup of the Music Player's RS232 interface, are shown on the next pages. All other Kaleidescape system settings are not taken into account. These can be found either by reference to the Kaleidescape Operating Manual or to a Kaleidescape dealer. No connection to the Kaleidescape Setup menu If you cannot establish any connection to the Kaleidescape system, your network settings are probably incorrect. More troubleshooting information can be found under: www.kaleidescape.com 6 Kaleidescape Re:source Setup-Menü HOME After calling the Kaleidescape Setup menu, initially, the page below is shown in the Browser. The type of display can vary from that shown below. The Home menu gives an overview with a display of the serial numbers from the currently installed Kaleidescape components. Change to the tab COMPONENTS (see next page) for the setup of the Music Player RS232 interface. 7 Kaleidescape Re:source Setup menu COMPONENTS The COMPONENTS setup page shows a detailed view of all the Kaleidescape servers, Movie Players and Music Players in the system. Here, the individual Movie Players can be adjusted precisely to the connected monitors and audio amplifiers. You will find the access point for editing the Music Player interface in the Music Player area, under the option Settings (see marking). Click on Settings and then carry out the settings as described on the next page. 8 Kaleidescape Re:source Setup menu COMPONENTS [Settings] CONTROL The serial interfaces can be configured in the sub-menu CONTROL. The following settings should be made for an error-free communication with the Kaleidescape module: RS232 interface Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Bits Stop Bits Flow Control 57600 bit/s 8 bit None 1 None Music Player ID As well as the serial interface setting, the Music Player's Control Protocol Device ID must also match up with the defined Device ID in the setup of the Revox Kaleidescape module. In the screen shown below, the number 3 was selected. The permitted input range is 1 ­ 99. Make sure that no other Kaleidescape components are using the same number. Also refer to the Chapter Setup Kaleidescape Module, Section Identification number. 9 Kaleidescape Re:source Cabling As described previously in the Connection panel chapter, Music and Movie Players are cabled separately from each other with the Revox components. These audio connections between Music Player and Kaleidescape module are intended exclusively for transmissions from the central Music server in the Main room and the Additional rooms (Multiroom operation). They enable access to the Music Players from every room, over the Revox Multiroom system. The audio transmission from the individual Movie Players to the corresponding rooms is done through the decentralised feed, see next page ff. Music Player Connect the Kaleidescape Music Player with the Kaleidescape Communication module as shown below. The cables may have a maximum length of 10 metres. Kaleidescape Music Player REVOX L IN 1 R 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 RS 232 Control RS 232 Female 1:1 Male Comm. Important advice In Multiroom operation, the Kaleidescape module must have the M219 Additional room amplifier with software version 0.97 or higher. 10 Kaleidescape Re:source Movie Player The decentral cabling of the Kaleidescape Movie Player can either be done with an M219 Additional room amplifier or an M51. The additional cabling of a Movie Player through the local input of an amplifier (M219 or M51), enables the independent operation of this Movie Room, separate from the other rooms in the Multiroom system. This means, that within the same zone, a track from a Music Player can be played in one room while at the same time, a film can be watched through the local Movie Player in another room from that same zone. This is possible because the Movie Player gets its feed locally and doesn't receive its music signal through the Revox Multiroom system. M219 cabling ­ Graphic on next page The Movie Player is connected to the M219 Additional room amplifier using a Stereo Cinch cable. Use the local input Local 1 and make sure that this has been activated through the DIL switches (4 + 5) at the M219. The other local inputs, Local 2+3, are not supported by the Kaleidescape software. M51 cabling ­ Graphic on next page The Movie Player is connected with the 5.1 Decoder module in the M51 through the digital audio signal (coax or optical). The enables the transmission of 5.1 formats for sophisticated Home cinema. The cabling of the 5.1 Decoder module is independent of whether the M51 is used as Multiroom central unit with Multiroom module, or whether it is an M51 Slave, with Additional room module. Video cabling Use the Movie Player's video output for the video cabling to the television, which delivers the best picture in combination with the television. The cables may have a maximum length of 10 metres. 11 Kaleidescape Re:source Movie Player cabling TV Movie Player Video S ignal Kaleidescape Audio OUT Analoge L R Video OUT digital HDMI Y cb Video OUT analog cr Ethernet Audio OUT Digital Koaxial Optical Mono Cinch Cable Stereo Cinch Cable Connection: Movie-Player + Multiroom Amplifier M219 Multiroom Amplifier LOCAL IN M219 LINK PRE OUT SETUP Optical Fibre Connection: Movie-Player + M51 REV OX + IN +OUT 1 L 2 3 1234 5 678 5.1 Decoder DIGI AL T OU T DIGI AL T IN 2 R 12 3 4 1 CHANNEL SELECT IN OUT MR-BUS + R- -L+ FUSE AC - POWER SPEAKERS OU T L PT US 3 R S UB CEN T ER L S ROUND UR R 5.1 Decoder 1.551.084.0X Audio Analog Audio Digital Analog audio connection with an M219 Additional room amplifier through a Stereo Cinch cable.
