SVMP2-8 Media Player
Features
The SigNET SVMP2-8 digital audio announcer is designed for integration into the SigNET LS network or
SigNET LinX systems.
The SVMP2-8 is a dual message store containing two Soundvault modules each available with 8Mb of
message storage space. Bandwidth is up to 16 kHz.
Each Soundvault module unit has the capacity of up to two minutes of storage, of which can be segmented
into four messages. Message length is dependent on the bandwidth of recording.
The SVMP2-8 unit itself is only approximately half the width of a 19” panel, and therefore to allow for location
in an equipment cabinet can be mounted behind a SigNET 19” 1U vent panel.
The front panel operation indicators on the SVMP2-8 are compliant with the requirements of BS5839 part 4.
Technical Description
Message triggering is performed by closing the contacts to the relevant connector at the rear of the SVMP2-8
unit depending on whether message one or message two is required. Contacts must remain closed for a
minimum of 250 milliseconds.
Subsequent to a successful contact closure message play will commence after a 500 millisecond delay. If
the closing contact is removed after the initial closure the message will continue to play to the end and then
cease. If the closure is maintained the message will repeat with a gap of approximately 500 milliseconds
between messages.
The message will play as long as the trigger is active. When the trigger is de-activated the message will play
to the end of its current cycle then stop. If the message select inputs change whilst the trigger is active the
message playing will stop at the end of it’s current cycle and be replaced by the message indicated by the
select inputs.
Multiple messages
As each module can store a number of message segments two select lines are
available (through the Expansion port) to access the correct segment.
Connecting the relevant combination of select lines to ground (see page 3) will access the required segment
then the trigger can be activated to play the selected segment. The trigger connections are also mimicked
on the expansion port to simplify cabling.
