- Messaging System Configuration
Within each zone, two types can be configured: EAS or Operator and Advanced. A Messaging Zone
may be sent either SCTE 18 alerts that are used for
EAS Messaging
,
Operator Messaging
based on
operator-defined text, or
Advanced Messaging
created from imported graphics (.PNG) or text files,
and advanced text parameters.
Note:
If the EAS text consists of 1800 characters, it might take up to one minute to overlay the EAS
message on to video. Therefore, any operator message that was active before receiving the EAS
message will stay active (if it was intended to continue for long) until the EAS message is overlaid.
Note:
The BNP does not process and act upon the received EAS event code (EAN, EAT, NIC, RMT, RWT,
NPT). It processes the event based on the “alert remaining time” and priority of the received EAS
message.
