4.15 System Settings
‘System Settings’ allows you to set parameters for the system as a whole and to define
system alarm monitors.
When an alarm is marked as a System Alarm, it is displayed on system alarm monitors
instead of keyboard alarm monitors, and it does not need accepting or cancelling by a
keyboard. Instead, it is automatically cancelled when its source ceases to be active.

•
Video Loss Text
is only editable for a V3M system, where it appears in the centre of a
blue monitor screen when video loss occurs. For V3i, the monitor does not display any
special text when video is lost, but instead shows only the blue screen.
•
Video Format
allows you to select either PAL (625 lines) or NTSC (525 lines).
Note: All
cameras, monitors and external video devices must operate to the same standard, as
selected here.
•
Language
: This feature selects the language used for the alarm log and the data log
output messages.
Note: Currently only English is implemented, but the choice is included for future software
development.
•
Alarm Input Numbering
determines the position of external Alarm Inputs within the
alarm list. Alarm Inputs can be selected to either follow on from the last Video Loss
alarm, or to always start from alarm 513. This feature allows a slave unit to be added to
V3i, or for any number of extra video input cards to be added to V3M, without causing
Alarm Inputs to be renumbered. Existing configuration files that intend Alarm Inputs to
follow on from video loss alarms will work without modification.
