PixelArt Batten status indicators

LINK

: When on, indicates that a valid cable link is 

present.

ACTIVITY

: Indicates that data is being received - this 

indicator is usually always on due to the continually 

streamed data.

ERROR

: Illuminates when errors are discovered within the data stream.

SOURCE

: Indicates where data is being received from:

Short flASh

 (known as a ping) - No valid data present.

fASt flASh

 - data received from Video Mapper MAIN port.

Slow flASh

 - data received from Video Mapper STANDBY port.

DouBlE flASh

 - data is looped back on same cable, i.e. final bat-

ten (without protection) or batten is adjacent to a cable break.

Note: During normal use, when the main and standby links are con-

nected, the SOURCE indicators for the A and B ports (on every PixelArt 

fixture) will confirm to which side of the link loop they are connected: 

main (fast flash) or standby (slow flash).
