Alarm Triggers - Serial
Serial alarms are alarm contacts routed to a RS232 port on the MegaPower 48+ patch panel via an AD2096A Alarm
Interface Unit (AIU). Each connected AD2096A unit can be connected to 48 alarm inputs. A maximum of 512 serial
alarm inputs can be connected.
The
Serial Alarm Setup
screen is used to create an alarm response for each connected serial alarm. To display this
screen, expand the
Alarm Triggers
node (inside the
Alarm Configuration
node) on the left-hand side of the display
area and then click the
Serial
node.
For each serial alarm contact, complete the fields described in the table on page 35.
Alarm Triggers - Video Loss
Video loss alarms are triggered by the loss of the synchronisation signal from any video input connected to the MegaPower
48+ patch panel. There can be a video loss alarm for every video input, whether it is connected to the primary matrix or
to a secondary unit. This means there is a maximum of 288 video loss alarms.
To activate video loss alarms, it is necessary to enable video loss detection in the
Options
screen (see page 16). Video
loss detection can then be enabled for individual video inputs in the
Titles/Pseudos
screen (see page 17).
The
Video Loss Alarm Setup
screen is used to create an alarm response for each video loss alarm. To display this
screen, expand the
Alarm Triggers
node (inside the
Alarm Configuration
node) on the left-hand side of the display
area and then click the
Video Loss
node.
In this screen, video loss alarms are only listed for the video inputs that have had video loss detection enabled (see
page 17). The video loss alarms are listed by the port reference and pseudo number of the video input. In the port
reference, the first character refers to the matrix to which the video input is connected (X = primary unit, A-F = secondary
unit) and the second and third characters are the video input port number on that matrix (1-48).
For each video loss alarm, complete the fields described in the table on page 35.
