Chapter 7: MediaPort 7000 series hardware reference
About the port status display
The port status display on the bezel provides basic system status and hardware health details of the
device.
Note the following:
• The Player name is truncated to the first 8 characters.
• The Player state can be: “IDLE,” “PLAY,” “CUED,” “RECD” (record), “PAUS” (paused), “SHTL” (forward
shuttling), and “REV” (any reverse playback)
• Playback timecode of the current clip is given, if the Player is not idle. If the current clip contains an
embedded timecode, then the front panel reports this timecode. If the current clip does not contain any
timecode, then the front panel reports timecode starting from 00:00:00:00. This behavior follows the
conventions used by other Harmonic tools, such as ClipTool.
• Environmental alerts or health alarms are given when an event arises. The text displayed is color-
coded to indicate the severity of the event. Red text indicates an error event; yellow text indicates a
warning event.
• The front panel flashes when there is a fault condition or warning. This is intended as a visual indicator
to the user that the system needs attention.
◦ The background color on the screen will alternate between blank and orange, at approximately
one-second intervals.
◦ When the display is touched to bring it to the “awake” state, it stops flashing for the duration of the
“awake” state.
• The current reference input is given, if available.
• The screen is always enabled and active, as long as at least one module is installed and powered on.
Removing or rebooting a module may cause a brief interruption or glitch in the panel output.
• The status of Module A is always displayed on the top portion of the screen, Module B is displayed on
the bottom portion. When viewed from the back of the chassis, Module A is the module on the left.
