Level (0-255) - the video level or threshold below which pixels are deemed to be black. Black is set to 16
(default) and white is set to 235.
Percent (0-10) - the percentage of picture allowed above the black level threshold in a black picture. The
threshold back-off percentage control is provided so that a brief period of blackness won't trigger the
alarm.
Audio Alarms
AES/EBU meters are supported and the threshold for audio under and over alarms ranges from 0 to -45
dB.
Audio Over
Level in dB (0 to -45) - the level in dB's above which the audio is deemed to be too loud and an audio
over event is triggered.
Audio Under Level
Level in dB (0 to-45) - the level in dB's below which the audio is deemed to be too low and an under
level event is triggered.
Time in seconds - the amount of time an audio source must be silent or under level before an alarm is
raised.
Flashing borders are supported on the Predator II GX but configured via the Edit Layout window.
PSU Monitoring
Power supply level monitoring is only available if more than one PSU is present in a frame.
Enabling Alarms
Fault detection and reporting can be enabled for audio and/or video sources assigned to a PiP. Alarms
can be sent to the output display, notified by SNMP or indicated via the GPI Output.
Enabling video and/or audio alarms for each PiP, including flashing borders, is accomplished within the
Layout Editor of ZConfigurator.
Alarms are only relevant for PiPs with a video source and/or at least one audio panel with assigned
audio sources.
