Chinese Central Television (CCTV) has installed 50 Miranda Technologies Kaleido multi-image display processors for monitoring two channels dedicated to the Beijing Olympics.

At CCTV’s International Broadcast Center, two Kaleido-X processors and 17 smaller Kaleido-Alto-HD and Kaleido-Quad multiviewers have been installed for master control monitoring. Additionally, 25 Kaleido multi-image processors will be used across the Olympic stadiums for production monitoring.
CCTV’s new Television Cultural Center has also installed two Kaleido-X processors, which can display up to 160 feeds across eight plasma displays in the master control room. These multi-image outputs are also displayed across 32 monitors in four studios.
Two new HD OB trucks operated by CCTV also have been equipped with multiple Kaleido multiviewers.
