Please note: Software update!
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.

Kaleidescape Module
The Communicate module is a
universal audio interface with a serial
communication port.
The Communicate module with the
Kaleidescape software is described
in this manual.
Important advice
M219
In Multiroom operation, the
Kaleidescape module must have
the M219 Additional room amplifier
with software version 0.97 or
higher.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Re:source
Kaleidescape
Installation
The Communication plug-in card
is equipped with the latest in
electronics and should be
handled with care.
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.
Before you install the card, the
M51 must be switched off and
separated from the power supply,
by plugging the unit out.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.

Re:source
Kaleidescape
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.

n Identification number
n Music Player serial numbers
If several Music Players are to be
operated in the Kaleidescape
system, an assignment must be
made through the identification
(device) number to identify which
Music Player is communicating
with the Kaleidescape module. The
Revox system can only
communicate with one Music
Player. All further Music Players
must be operated manually and
cannot be integrated in the Revox
Multiroom system.
The Revox system recognises the
Music Player as well as the
individual Movie Players through
the serial number (S/N) (Setup p).
The corresponding S/N are to be
found in the Kaleidescape Player
Setup menu and can be read out
using a Web browser.
For this reason, you should be
aware of the corresponding S/N
before starting to commission the
Kaleidescape system or better still,
carry out the commissioning
together with the Kaleidescape
agent/dealer.
As part of this, you can then define
the output formats for audio and
video for the corresponding Movie

Movie Player operation
The Movie Player is operated
exclusively through the M208
remote control. As a result, only an
information display is shown on the
M51 or the M217 wall-mounted
display. There are no control
options for the local Movie Player.
The comfortable selection of the
film is done through the Movie
Player’s OSD. To do this, you must
switch on the corresponding
television or beamer.
The control commands are sent
with the help of the Kaleidescape
module, through the Music Player
to the corresponding Movie Player,
using the Revox infrared receivers,
M204, M218, M217 , M219 or
build-in speakers with integrated
infrared eye. In this way, the Movie
Player doesn’t have to be placed in
a visible location to be operated.
It is enough if an infrared receiver
form the Revox Multiroom system
can receive the commands.
The options available for
controlling the Movie Player
through the M208 are shown on
page 34 as well as in the separate
instructions included with the
remote control M208 Kaleidescape
Movie Player.

Movie Player replay
A) with the M51 [5.1 Decoder]
The Movie Player control is simply
started by calling the digital audio
source (coaxial or optical) at the
M51. Now, using the M208 remote
control, you can search for your
film through the Kaleidescape OSD
menu.
You will find information about the
cabling of the Movie Player on page
12.
To do this, you must ensure that the
corresponding television with the
correct video input is switched on at
the same time. This can be
accomplished very easily with an
M203 interface, for Revox, Pioneer
or Loewe devices.
Additional information
In theory, you could also make an
analogue connection between the
Movie Player and the M51 using the
Cinch output. However, this
connection doesn’t support the 5.1
Sound audio format, which would
allow you to control 6 Home Cinema
speakers, giving you a room-filling,
cinema sound.
Using the M51 Setup Remote menu,
please link the remote button Local
with one of the digital inputs, Optical
or Coaxial. This ensures that the
Movie Player can be operated over
several rooms and, irrespective of
whether you operate the Movie
Player through the M51 or from an
Additional room, you can always use
the same remote control.
To give you a better overview, you
should rename the 5.1 Decoder
module’s digital input Coaxial or
Optical as Movie, for example. This
is possible with the MK2 or MK3
5.1 Decoder module.

Movie Player replay
B) with M219 [Multiroom Amp]
Call the Movie Player using the
Local button on the M218 wallmounted display or with the Local
infrared command on the M208
remote control.
The following menu appears on the
M217 display:
Now, using the M208 remote
control, you can search for your
film through the Kaleidescape OSD
menu.
Other Multiroom participants in the
same and in other zones can
access the Revox system,
independently of your film.
Note
Make sure that the local input
Local 1 has been activated through
the DIL switches (4 and 5) at the
M219. The other local inputs,
Local 2+3, are not supported by
the Kaleidescape software.
You will find information about the
cabling of the Movie Player with the
M219 on page 12.
