Alarm Associations - Video Loss
The
Associate Video Loss Alarms
screen is displayed by expanding the
Alarm Associations
node (inside the
Alarm
Configuration
node) on the left-hand side of the display area and then clicking on the
Video Loss
node. Use this
screen to configure ten monitor/alarm contact association tables which are used to define which individual monitors will
display which individual video loss alarms.
The video loss alarms are listed by the port reference of the video input (with pseudo number also shown). In the port
reference, the first character refers to the matrix to which the video input is connected (X = primary unit, A-F = secondary
unit) and the second character is the video input port number on that matrix (1-48).
Monitors are listed on the horizontal axis by monitor identification number, with port references in brackets. In the port
reference, the first character refers to the matrix to which the monitor is connected (X = primary unit, A-F = secondary
unit) and the second and third characters are the video output port number on that matrix (1-16).
Ensure that the required association table number is selected from the
Choose Alarm Association Set
screen and
then follow the steps below to configure the monitor/alarm contact associations:
1. Click the
Video Loss
tab.
2. Double-click in the appropriate cell. A drop down list is displayed. For example in the figure above, an association
between the video loss alarm A10 and monitor 4 (X04) is currently selected.
3. To specify that the video loss alarm should be associated with this monitor, use the drop down list to select the tick
symbol. To specify that no association should be made between the alarm and monitor, use the drop down list to
select the cross symbol.
It is also possible to use the drag down method to change multiple fields in a column to the same setting. Select the
required option in the uppermost field and then click and drag the cursor over the fields below that are to be set the
same. Press the
Enter
key to copy the setting to the highlighted fields.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make additional changes.
Note
By default, there is no association between any video loss alarm and monitor. However, each connected video loss
alarm should be associated with at least one monitor. Without this association, any video or on-screen message that is
set to be shown when the alarm is triggered will not be displayed.
