This manual describes the function of the PM-2E/PM-4. This unit monitors the
embedded audio encoded within a SDI data stream. It also flags suitable
alarms and displays the information onto a screen overlaid onto a video
screen.
The PM-2E is a unit that will monitor the audio embedded in a SDI data
stream and the PM-4 monitors the AES. They check that both audio signals
are present and that they are not silent, alerting the operator when an error
occurs. The main features are as follows:-
The PM-2E monitors embedded audio channels 1 and 2, the PM-4
monitors AES 1 channels 1 and 2.
The user can define a 6 digit channel Ident, definable in foreground
colour, background colour, flashing or normal mode.
All the error messages can be user defined, in foreground colour,
background colour, flashing or normal mode and whether that condition
triggers an alarm.
The main “alert” alarms can be “accepted” by the operator setting a
second “indication” alarm, which is cleared when the problem is
completely resolved.
The module broadcasts information compatible with the MD-2 Master
Display module, enabling collation of any unit’s displays and allowing
for remote supervision.
The length of time required to trigger an alarm can be set by the
operator.
